Washington - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn announced the Democratic members of a newly established House committee tasked with overseeing the distribution of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package signed into law last month.
Clyburn will be the chair of the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, which was established in a vote by the House last week. Other Democratic members of the committee are:
- Maxine Waters
- Carolyn Maloney
- Nydia Velázquez
- Bill Foster
- Jamie Raskin
- Andy Kim
"As House Speaker, I am proud to appoint these distinguished and accomplished leaders of the Congress and country to the Select Committee on the Coronavirus," Pelosi said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "They bring outstanding mastery of congressional oversight and decades of experience fighting for working families to our critical mission to ensure that our coronavirus response puts working families first."
Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has not yet appointed any Republican members to the committee. Republicans have accused Democrats of creating the committee in an attempt to damage Mr. Trump's electoral chances in November.
Pelosi also defended the committee's purpose in the press conference.
"Of course we're going to act in a nonpartisan way in this," the speaker said.

All with a collective IQ of 6!
Meh. Make it a buh-zillion because, what difference does it make at this point?
The total IQ of the members of that committee might..that is might.. break 100.
And it's Trump who didn't act quick enough???
She looks worse than RBG in that picture.

See my tagline.
This fossil looks like Lloyd Bentsen...and he’s been dead since 2006.
Not this shit again my Time to dust off the guillotine!
If Trump wins reelection, and the Democrats retain control of the House, it’s likely Trump will be impeached again. And the likely reasons will be Trump’s alleged bad response to the coronavirus crisis.
Just go down to the sewage lagoon with a net and scoop out as many Democrat politicians as you need.
We can sleep well at night now with the knowledge that Dr Maxine Waters will be involved in coronavirus oversight. Sapphire is on the case. lol
I would not appoint a single Republican to this farce of a committee masking itself as a oversight committee. Let it twist in the winds like all the dead carcasses festering in wet markets globally.
