Pelosi said it would be 'ridiculous' to have Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the committee

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Thursday said the Jan. 6 committee will continue to seek the truth about the cause of the deadly Capitol attack despite GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy pulling all his Republican members from serving on the panel.
"It's my responsibility as Speaker of the House to make sure we get to the truth on this, and we will not let their antics stand in the way of that," Pelosi said Thursday during a news conference at the Capitol.
Pelosi on Wednesday blocked two of McCarthy's five appointments from serving on the committee – Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Jim Banks, R-Ind., – citing their statements that she said dismissed the seriousness of the attack and undermined the integrity of the committee's work. McCarthy responded by boycotting the committee and not allowing his three Pelosi-approved picks from serving on the panel.
Pelosi stood by her decision to block Jordan and Banks, saying they "made statements and took actions that just made it ridiculous to put them on such a committee seeking the truth."
Both Jordan and Banks are Trump allies. Jordan called the Jan. 6 committee "Impeachment Round 3" and Banks accused Pelosi of creating the committee "solely to malign conservatives."
Pelosi took special issue with Banks' statement that the response from the "Biden administration" must be investigated, with the speaker noting that Biden wasn't even in power until two weeks later.
Pelosi pointed out that even without McCarthy's five GOP members, the committee will still be bipartisan since she picked Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., to serve alongside her seven Democratic appointments

And they’ll find all kinds of folks in BLM and the (D)’s they’ll have to let go as they’re doing now.
Antics? Denying Jordan and Banks a place on the team was the antic that started all this. What a smelly old hag she is.
There is a way to kill the claim the committee will be bipartisan,
Kick Lezzie Liz out of the party. She is a dumbascrap anyway.

Pelousy the MOST CRIMINAL female of the regime wastes milllions in tax money to investigate her OWN FALSE FLAG setup to demean Trump supporters in hen she KNOWS Antifa was advertising on the internet for their buddies to go to DC dressed as Trump supporters!
What an evil witch!
The Republicans should set up a parallel committee.
Still waiting on doing something about the actual rioting in DC in January of 2017.
Pelosi and her cohorts are scum.
Sure, it will proceed, just like the impeachments did. But it will be equally comical. It has become a joke.
Let her do it and let her own it !
This will not help in the upcoming midterms.
It certainly won’t help Liz Cheny who seems to be doubling down on politically dumb moves !
This person has overstayed her welcome.
She has gone berserk!
Which means the committee will focus on bashing Trump and hiding what really happened on January 6.
I self moderate. My words are not nice.
Somebody is playing a little Kabuki theater.
Speaker Pelosi believes the committee can be used to totally “deep-6” any trace of her collusion in the events leading up to January 6th, 2021, and subsequent actions on her part.
Cover thy backside.
"FEIGELEIN!"
Nobody cares about the mostly peaceful Jan 6 rally except the parasite media and radical left wing marxists.
Pelosi clearly does not want a full investigation, but only a sham investigation in which real unanswered questions cannot be addressed. Anyone who might raise uncomfortable issues is being kept off of the committee. This whole farce is one big “antic” on Pelosi’s part.
