Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated in an interview released on Monday that the two Republicans she rejected to serve on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection could be scrutinized as part of its work.
During an interview with The 19th News, Pelosi said that she vetoed Republican Reps. Jim Banks (Ind.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) from serving on the committee because she thought they were "outrageous" and "not serious."
"I mean, they probably - " Pelosi began, adding, "Well, we'll see what the committee finds out about them, but they weren't going to be on the committee."
"There would be antics and clowns and not serious about this and still participants in the big lie," Pelosi said, referring to former President Trump's false claims that the election was stolen from him. "I didn't really care if they had voted to accept the results of the election or not. All I wanted them to be is willing to seek the truth."
Banks and Jordan are two of Trump's most vocal supporters in Congress and have echoed the former president's false claims of election fraud. Banks also recently organized a delegation of House Republicans to the U.S.-Mexico border with Trump.
Banks on Monday accused Pelosi of using the select committee to target her political opponents by suggesting he and Jordan could be investigated.
"That is an abuse of power and if she follows through she needs to be held accountable. It is banana republic style politics that doesn't belong in America. If Democrats had integrity, they would condemn this behavior at home with the same enthusiasm with which they condemn it abroad," Banks said in a statement.

She wouldn’t want to compare the Taliban buying Afghan Commanders and American supplied weapons to the Democratic vote harvesting and occasional ballot box stuffing.
This whole Afghan error has gone from bad to worse because our culture has gone reprobate. Plagues and wars will get worse because this nation will not REPENT! Will not honor the on God we trust and will not honor the phrase ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
Drop dead, bitch.
Investigate Pelosi for her part in the orchestration of Jan. 6th when?
This woman is working on yesterday’s silly political insurrection narratives with Biden crashing everything that gets in his path, People are not listening to her frivolous political storyline garbage. Not even her allies on CNN and MSNBC
Nobody cares now. Even leftists are freaking out about Afghanistan. The ‘smartest people in the room’ just got caught eating their own boogers.
Forever War, Inc. has a broken business model and the leftist dreams of strutting the world stage like conquering Che Guevara heroes are crumbling to dust . Nobody fears them, nobody respects them, nobody wants to deal with them except to make fun of them to their faces while they our rapidly inflating fiat currency by the $ billion.
Maybe she thinks she will be in the White House soon.
When are they going to come in and take that evil, crazy bytch out of there? She’s gone way past politics as usual.
Just like that other crazy bytch DiFi who had the gall to tell Ashli Babbit’s mother that her daughter shouldn’t have stormed the Capitol! Take parts of Kalifornia and kick them out of the Union!!!
Pole dancer?
Oh, well, you know what they say...boobs are boobs. They could always put a bag over her head.
Well, I hope her name is NOT forgotten, at least until she, her husband, family, business associates and fellow Deep State members are all exposed. Corruption, graft, abuse of power, nepotism, murder and extorsion. I want it all to come out, and then I want the ill gotten gains of theirs, their families and friends seized after they are all thrown in jail.
Not to worry; unless they repent, all will be exposed AND punished, in due time.
That Dog and Pony Show is still going on?
Is there a scheduled ending to this expensive waste of taxpayer money?
Aided and abetted by every Bush League Republican.
She needs to take the stand sooner rather than later. If the Lord doesn’t intervene. . .we are going to be living in a hell hole in this country. He is the only Way out of this mess. Why should He? We deserve judgment!
Oh, Maudeen, don’t we, though? Accepting the Lord Jesus sacrifice is our only hope of avoiding eternal judgment. But at some point, perhaps soon, we will see judgment on the earth. Christians will suffer, here, as they have in many countries, but praise God, we will not suffer eternally.
Double bagger
It will have to be new Republicans because most of the ones now there are just Assistant Democrats.
Vengeful bitch ain’t she?
They are outlawing political opposition.
They want 1-party rule like in China, North Korea and Cuba.
“An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his arms. And killed his family.
His 10 year old daughter was spared and handed off to leadership.”
Oh my God in Heaven! LORD forgive us for our sins and the sins of our country! Have mercy on those poor people and on us!
AMEN!
