Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) in a press conference Wednesday, calling his handling of the proposed Jan. 6 investigation “despicable and disgraceful.”

McCarthy responded to Pelosi blocking the two members of Congress — Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IN) — by pulling all five Republicans he had nominated.
Cheney, who was nominated by Pelosi to serve on the committee, said she agreed with the move from the Democratic leader.
“January 6th was the worst attack on this Capitol since 1814. It was an attack on our Constitution,” Cheney said. She added that the two Republicans rejected by Pelosi included “one who may be a material witness to events that led to that day” and another “who disqualified himself by his comments… demonstration he’s not taking this seriously.”
The Wyoming Republican, who was one of few members of the GOP to vote for former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment, also slammed McCarthy for blocking the originally proposed bipartisan commission:
We supported what would have been the very best option, which was a bipartisan, independent commission. The minority leader opposed that. He lobbied against it in the Senate and the Senate blocked it. The American people deserve to know what happened. The people who did this must be held accountable. There must be an investigation that is nonpartisan, that is sober, that is serious, that gets to facts where ever they may lead. At every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened, to block this investigation.”
“This investigation must go forward,” she continued. “The idea that anybody would be playing politics with an attack on the United States Capitol is despicable and disgraceful.”

Didn’t Obama pardon the scum that bombed the Merchandise Mart? That could have killed my mother.
Why do libs love terrorists so much?
I had no idea of the Senate bombing either. None.
Dem leadership should be given the shittiest offices in 2023, I’m serious. Give all the best offices to Republicans. Full brinkmanship. Teach this bitch she doesn’t get to veto who we can put on committees without consequence.
Trump is one of the immoral men that I know.
Some day the blind will see.
Yes they do... because they do longer have to pretend... the mask is no off.

The beotch should show some intestinal fortitude and just “come out of the closet” as the RAT that it is and join the communist party.
This is Wyoming. That won’t work.
I hope Trump will be wise and go to Wyoming to interview the candidates and make an endorsement. This will show that he is doing it to serve and not just to feed his ego.
Yup!
It’s a law enforcement issue (a serious one), but if I was a member of Congress, I’d be concerned that a giant circus of political hearings could be viewed as institutional nepotism, and that police guarding county courthouses and statehouses wouldn’t get the same attention. Also the publicity could taint jury pools. Republicans should point this out and not let themselves be painted as inciters.
