I thought McCarthy proposed Jordan and Banks and Pelosi denied those choices. She picked Cheney and Adam K. Do you have info otherwise?

All of what you say is correct. Pelosi, not McCarthy, picked Cheney and Adam K. She also denied Jordan and Banks. However, McCarthy originally put forward 5 names and when Pelosi rejected Jordan and Banks he also pulled the remaining 3 names (that he himself chose). Pelosi did not force him to do that. So we could've had some real Republicans on that committee but for one man's fit of pique.
