McCarthy Stacks Pelosi’s January 6 Committee with Mix of Conservative Killers, Law Enforcement Experts
Breitbart ^ | 19 Jul 2021 | ASHLEY OLIVER

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:

Hey lady. Stop with the shouting and stupid stuff.

So he didn't agree with a tariff, but he says, "But in general, I do believe the president is actually working hard to move this country in the right direction.” That's not how I would define a hater.

A lot of Trump supporters didn't agree with tarriffs.

Rodney has a problem part 2: A week before the 2016 election, citing his love of his family and respect for women, @RodneyDavis "rescinded" his support for Trump. But then he went 4+ years supporting Trump. Rodney has no principles and is just another lying, failed politician. https://t.co/uTwhLYuaoH— Marie Carnes (@mariecarnes) July 20, 2021

@RodneyDavis is a trump bootlicker and an empty suit. #fullstop #IL13 https://t.co/JQSUsCODQj— Indivisible Illinois (@IndivisibleIL) July 20, 2021

Everyone else is saying the opposite and he hates Trump so much he is getting pics with him and looking forward to his speeches. Maybe he isn't a pom-pom boy, but just maybe he isn't the extreme hater you make him out to be and he is being selected for other reasons, his security background.

Either you are With Trump or Not. My Congressman Republican Rodney Davis is for Rodney Davis and he is just trying to use TRUMP.

Column: Congressman Rodney Davis won’t say if he’ll vote for President Trump’s re-election
