It’s the old internal pressure tactics. Sone old guard bulls take the youngster aside privately and tell him how impressed they are by his victory, that he has a bright future in the party, and that the key to success is to be “patient”, learn to be a “team player, and one day soon you will be supported for a leadership position. A junior committee role, then if you do well and don’t make waves, something even better. It’s all about being patient, and remembering Reagan’s 11th commandment “Thou shalt not talk ill of another Republican (unless that other Republican is a true conservative). The young lad is in awe as Minority Leader McCarthy gives him a wink and thumbs up, and invites him to lunch soon with an influential person in. SuperPAC. It’s happened time and time again.

Maybe more like Pelosi will strip people of committee assingments for refusing to recognize the election as legitimate. I am a stubborn S.O.B., and would take the punishment and wear as a badge of honor. However, I can understand that others don't want to pay that price. Most pols keep one ear to the ground to listen for public opinion. The case needs to be made to the masses that the election was stolen. Really, the Congressional "debate" on Jan. 6-7 was quite lacking.
