House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) plans to announce Monday the names of the five Republicans who will sit on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) committee to investigate the riot that occurred January 6 at the U.S. Capitol.
McCarthy will appoint Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Jim Banks (R-IN), Troy Nehls (R-TX), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), and Rodney Davis (R-IL) to sit on the 13-member select committee, according to a senior House GOP aide familiar with the matter.
All McCarthy’s appointees voted against impeaching former President Donald Trump in January and all voted against establishing the select committee. Jordan, Banks, and Nehls also voted against certifying the 2020 electoral college results in certain disputed states.
Jordan is ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and a longtime oversight bull, and Banks, a rising star within his caucus, chairs the Republican Study Committee.
After the publishing of this story, Banks and Jordan issued responses to their committee appointments.
Banks released a statement saying Democrats failure to investigate the violent riots that stemmed from Black Lives Matter protests last summer indicates they are unserious about “investigating political violence.”
“If Democrats were serious about investigating political violence, this committee would be studying not only the January 6 riot at the Capitol, but also the hundreds of violent political riots last summer when many more innocent Americans and law-enforcement officers were attacked,” Banks said, adding, “And of course, the committee would not overlook the Good Friday murder of USCP Officer Billy Evans that was perpetrated by a far-left extremist.”
Banks continued, “Make no mistake, Nancy Pelosi created this committee solely to malign conservatives and to justify the Left’s authoritarian agenda.”
Jordan responded only by posting a video compilation to social media of a string of Democrats objecting to past presidential election results:

Go Jim Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[A nice triple post, but unfortunately the times stamps are not identical]
President Trump needs Jim Jordan to run as his VP in 2024....
Not a bad choice.
I disagree. With Jim Jordan on that committee, we can get closer to the truth of what REALLY happened on 1/6. Watch for a Democrat meltdown when he points out very inconvenient truths.
Can we see the death certificate for Babbitt?
The girl is gonna be passed if this dog and pony show interruptsome her morning tv shows
The media will cut away from that stuff. No way Pelosi is going to allow any other narrative other the the RAT narrative.

Rodney Davis is my Congressman. zhe hates Trump and he is a RINO-X 10000000
Will the Repubs demand to know who shot Ashley Babbitt and require him to testify? Will they demand the release of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of feet of video footage which are being withheld? If they don’t, it’s all a whitewash.

.

Despite Serving as Trump Campaign Co-Chair in Illinois, Davis Refuses to Say Whom He’ll Support for President
( because rodney davis is a SUPREME POS)
Including why he was fired as a police officer for destroying evidence among other things? Try to play up his 'law enforcement expertice' and the Democrats will have a field day.
The police were welcoming the first to arrive, into the halls. Remember the agitators who were telling the now worked up mob, to keep moving, don’t dare turn back, to keep moving...we need those people to step forward and tell their stories....what part of the lack of police doing their jobs was Speaker Pelosi involved in?
Just what we need, the DEMONCRATS would resurrect the Bullshit Charge that Jordan knew about Child Molestation in the College Wrestling Program scandal and didn’t report it.
It’s either a Trump / DeSantis Ticket or it’s a DeSantis and a Conservative Republican Woman (of Color?) Ticket.
Whoever it is will be running against Cackling Commiela and God knows who or what.
Put Ashli Babbitt’s Father on the Committee.
