Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has agreed to join House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol riot committee — furthering her rift with Republican leaders who say it will be a politically biased inquiry — as Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called the move, “shocking” and “unprecedented.”
Pelosi (D-Calif.) unveiled Cheney’s participation at a press conference, saying she “has patriotically agreed to serve on the committee.”
The other committee members — seven Democrats — appeared at the press conference to field reporter questions, but Cheney was a no-show.
“We’re very honored and proud that she has agreed to serve on the committee,” Pelosi said.
Cheney’s participation allows Democrats to claim that the committee’s work is “bipartisan,” despite Cheney’s increasing isolation after fellow Republicans booted her from her party leadership role in May.
Pelosi told reporters she was “so glad that it will be bipartisan from the start.”
Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois were the only Republicans who voted on Wednesday to create the committee.

As the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity. You go, girls! Mid-terms in 2022 looking better and better. (Who do they think is going to show up to vote in the off-year except p.o.'d Trump supporters?)
McCarthy is a snake.

McCarthy is "Little Paul Ryan."

Is Wyoming doing anything to get rid of this mad woman now??
It's easy to go full crazy, when you know you've got nothing to lose.
Cheney didn’t just agree to be on the committee - she took the appointment from Pelosi to sit on the Dem side of the isle.
Although Miss "Blue Beams of Light" is hardly someone worth defending...the fact the Dems would vote to take away her assignments but leave Steve Cohen, Eric Swallwell, AOC, Pressley, Omar, and company on committees make that action a major eyeroll worthy event. Maxine Waters, who allies with Louis Farrakhan, is even Chairs a powerful committee.
“Although Miss “Blue Beams of Light” is hardly someone worth defending”
You lifted that line from which Soros-bankrolled publication?
Greene is worth defending.
Your Senator, McConnell is not.
McCarthy is an abomination.
