Today we told you that Nancy Pelosi had selected Liz Cheney to going her partisan witch hunt ‘investigating’ the Capitol riot.
Kevin McCarthy has now responded to the knews and took a shot at Cheney for accepting the appointment:
McCarthy on Cheney agreeing to serve on the 1/6 committee: I was shocked that she would accept something from Speaker Pelosi. Perhaps she's closer to them than us

McCarthy told reporters “I was shocked that she would accept something from Speaker Pelosi. Perhaps she’s closer to them than us.”
I completely understand why he’d say this, because we all know this is simply a ‘crisis’ that Pelosi isn’t going to waste in terms of using it to bolster Democrats and attack Republicans. The fact that Cheney would join this circus at Pelosi’s behest is ridiculous.
That said, I hope McCarthy dumps her committee assignments and puts another Republican in her place, because that’s at least what it was reported that he said he would do.
