UK Daily Mail "The House of Representatives voted Monday night to kill a resolution from Republican leader Kevin McCarthy to get his picks on Nancy Pelosi’s Capitol Riot Select Committee.
"Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who many inside the GOP want to see punished for choosing to take their seats on the panel, voted against the measure with the vote finishing 218-197.
"McCarthy’s resolution was the last bid to compel Pelosi to accept the five Republican members and allow them to be part of the investigation he has called a ‘sham’.
"He withdrew all his nominations when Pelosi refused to seat Reps Jim Banks and Jim Jordan last week.
"The vote came just hours before the first hearing was set to begin on Tuesday into the investigation into January 6.
"Cheney said on Monday that McCarthy was ‘childish’ for labeling her and Kinzinger, the only two members of the GOP on the January 6 committee, ‘Pelosi Republicans.’
" ‘We’ve got very serious business here. We have important work to do,’ she said to reporters on Capitol Hill." . . .
