House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy would not rule out yanking Rep. Liz Cheney from the influential House Armed Services Committee amid partisan squabbling over which lawmakers get to serve on the Jan. 6 commission.
Speaking to reporters at his weekly presser Thursday, McCarthy (R-Calif.) played coy when asked about pulling Cheney (R-Wyo.) or Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is reportedly considering as an acceptable Republican to serve on the commission after rejecting two of his original five choices: Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.).
McCarthy replied that the GOP’s “main focus” was on combating what he argued was the damage caused by Democratic policies, referencing the recent spikes in crime in cities nationwide, securing the border and combating inflation.
“I think it’s a conference decision. The conference will look at it,” he added of taking retribution against Cheney and Kinzinger.

Republicans have accused Pelosi of “being spooked” by Jordan and Banks’ stating that they would like to investigate the security shortcomings, including the delay in approving the authorization to send the National Guard, despite having intelligence indicating a threat weeks in advance.
She’s a pig on the take.
I sure hope he carries through on this. She is a disgrace.
He doesn’t have the balls to do it.
“might”
That’s the author’s words. He said it’s a conference decision. The conference will look at it. The panel hasn’t started yet. If she or Kinzinger go ahead with it, then they can take action.
PIAP...it’s not just for Hitlary.
McCarthy and Abbott are very much alike. Neither are Conservative but, both are astute enough to pick and choose when to posture or take a Conservative stand to keep their positions. Walking the white line on the roadway. Attempting to dodge the traffic headed in both directions.
Neither is trustworthy and, both will take a Conservative stance when they have no other choice.
The yank part sounds about right.
Maybe when he gets out of diapers.

McCarthy should strip any Republicans who accept Pelosi's appointment to the committee of all committed assignments. He should kick them out of the Republican Caucus for directly undermining them. He can start today by stripping Cheney of her assignment to the Armed Services Committee and telling her "It appears Nancy Pelosi makes your committee assignments, so check in with her".
Nah! He don’t have the guts. It is one thing to go after the woman from Georgia that the Republicans hate anyway because she won’t kiss Democrat ass than to go after one that is beloved by the Republicans. Even if she constantly insults and belittles him. His philosophy concerning her is,
“ Sticks and stones...”
“might” ?
Throw the &^$@*# out!
“Pussy” McCarthy decided to throw President Trump away on January 6th.
McCarthy then played “pattie cake”, with anti Trump Republican factions in the House of Representatives.(they’re gone in 2-4 years)
Kevin,
How is backing “dumb bitch” Cheney working out for you?
McCarthy has a vagina and so does Cheney, they both are worthless.
“might” = won’t.
Do it right now,to send a message.
You know that he is not. The Republicans would have his ass if he did. People don’t want to face the fact that the Republicans with the exception of seven (7) are just as much enemies of Constitutional Government as the Democrats are. The sheep look to the Republican Party as their Savior while in reality they are just leading then step by step to the slaughterhouse. The stolen election where they [the Republicans] collaborated with and abetted with the Democrats to steal the election from President Trump proved this.

The voters of Wyoming better put a end to this POS in 2022!
If they don’t, I’ll travel to DC for the first time in my life and have a little talk with “lowlife Cheney.”
The California real estate pussy named McCarthy could’ve stopped this bull shit 6 months ago.
McCarthy needs to remember whose “ass he was kissing” down at Mar Logo after he screwed up.
