Jim Banks (India) and Jim Jordan (Ohio), both avid Trump supporters. McCarthy resigned all his appointees from the select committee to protest the move. He described the investigation as a partisan effort to harm Trump and the party ahead next year's midterm elections. However, Republicans opposed the bipartisan Jan.6 commission earlier in the year.Pelosis' initial wave of names that Cheney was selected to be part of the panel to examine the events of Jan. 6 when Trump supporters broke into the Capitol to disrupt the certification of Trump's election loss. This forced lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence fleeing.Pelosi named Kinzinger to Jan. 6's committee following the GOP boycott. This gave Democrats two House Republican members, which they claim increases their bipartisan credibility.Kinzinger, in a tie with elephants patterned pattern, was also known as McCarthys comments childish" during the break of the select panel prep session.Kinzinger stated that he can call me any name he likes, but the bottom line is Im not a Republican.McCarthy's jab is a significant shift from earlier in the year. Before her frequent Trump criticisms led her colleagues and fellow leaders, Cheney was his leader partner. She then became responsible for the conference messaging.Some of Cheney's Republican colleagues are now openly speculate about the future of Cheney or Kinzinger in the House GOP conference. McCarthy was asked if the pair should be subject to sanctions for accepting Pelosi’s appointment as inquiry chair. McCarthy replied that they would "we'll have to see".Kinzinger brushed aside the subtle threat Monday: If the conference decides that it punishes him and Cheney he said it says more about them then it does about me."Kinzinger said that he would not rule out calling fellow Republican members to testify before a select panel. He stated that it was important to hear their relevant information if possible. He said that while discussions are ongoing regarding the scope of Republican staff to the inquiry, Kinzinger praised former Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va., as an example for such hires.McCarthy will try to tie Cheney and Kinzinger up to Pelosi. He often appears in GOP attack ads.
