House Speaker Mike Johnson today announced the Republicans who will serve on the Bipartisan House Task Force to investigate the Trump assassination attempt and sparked an uproar among conservatives in the process.
The seven GOPers listed are as follows:
• Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Kelly • Tennessee Rep. Mark Green • Ohio Rep. Dave Joyce • Florida Rep. Laurel Lee • Florida Rep. Michael Waltz • Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins • Texas Rep. Pat Fallon
While there are a few terrific choices including Rep. Higgins and Rep. Green, he also includes one of the House’s biggest RINOs in Rep. David Joyce and several establishment GOPers.
Moreover, two individuals with impeccable qualifications to investigate the Trump assassination attempt, Arizona Rep. Eli Crane and Florida Rep. Cory Mills, are missing altogether. Crane is an ex-Navy SEAL sniper while Mills is a respected former Army Combat Vet.
Was Johnson worried they would explore whether the incident was a set up to have Trump killed as Mills suggested was a possibility earlier this month?
Conservative political commentator Benny Johnson tweeted following the news that Republican House members were furious over Johnson seemingly caving to the Democrats.

Doesn’t matter anyway. These committees have less power than your neighborhood zoning board - they’re just opportunities for congressmen to posture and show off.
Sure I know what Cheney’s committee did but we’re talking about Republicans here, and they don’t have the balls to even impeach Mayorkas, so they’re not going to do anything about this.
Why not put an ex-sniper on the task force?
Like Eli Crane, AZ-2? He’s an ex-SEAL sniper whose already personally investigated the area.
The problem is Crane despises Johnson (didn’t vote for him). If there was another vote, he’d force Johnson to vacate.
Speaker Mike Johnson just keeps failing.
Johnson is every bit as compromised as Mitch McConnell. He must be removed as Speaker if Republican retain control of the House next year.
More political porn. Nothing will happen, nothing will be accomplished. Other than a ‘report’.
Look at it this way, guys: no matter what the content, any mention of the Trump shooting.....
whether a news brief, an FBI excuse, a SS cover up, a Congressional do-nothing......
all of it is a Trump campaign ad which Harris cannot counter.
Why are there any Dems on this stupid committee at all? Johnson should have told them to pound sand and given them a list with no names on it. Kind of like Pelosi did with her sham Jan 6 committee.
L
WHY would you have expected ANYTHING different it is the uniparty!! DECADES we have watched this same BS!!!!
Waterboard Wray, Mayorkas and Cheatle.
Anything short of that or red hot irons will result in BS.
One of them would squeal and if not, meh, they needed it aways for past crimes.
Agree.
See tagline.
The GOP must, at all costs, protect its perpetual circle-jerk...
The GOP continues to poorly play checkers while the communists play forward-thinking chess...
The tenacity of our tyrannical communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
I thought Higgins was going to unveil the bus that had the reds on it during J6….all talk cricket sounds
Mike Johnson is PAID to BETRAY MAGA. Purge this SOB at the earliest opportunity. This country will not survive with cowards like him in our midst
Its a common curtesy and established president for the republican's to let democrats pick their representatives on any investigatory committee.
The Jan 6th committee was keeping with that tradition.
He has probably been blackmailed by the Deep State.
His name is Nancy Pelosi. /s
Let me rephrase and clarify the question: "When can we get a Republican Speaker with balls?"
Yes. I stand corrected.
You just described about 97% of the GOP!
3..2..1...until some jabbed and boosted daily FoxNews watcher tells me I’m making them cry.
The best we can realistically hope for from this committee is that it uncover some useful information between now and next Jan. 20th that a Trump DOJ can use to start their own investigation.
