assignments if they accept house speaker nancy pelosi s offer to serve on the select committee investigating the january 6 insurrection. we should remind viewers there was a bipartisan proposal for equal representation on a commission that was rejected, voted against by most republican members of the house. jessica dean is with us on capitol hill. good morning. this is quite a threat from kevin mccarthy. reporter: it certainly is, jim and poppy. and remember, just to give you some context, earlier this year, marjorie taylor greene, when all of that was unfolding, the conspiracy theories, the house minority leader did not move to remove her from her committees. that was done by the full house. so he did not take action in that way. now, flash forward to today, here we are with this house select committee. he would get five people that he could appoint to committee. now nancy pelosi would have veto power but he could appoint five in theory and yet he s told
was told the boston public radio station of republicans who downplayed the insurrection or denied it, we need to talk about getting rid of those members of congress. what are republicans so afraid of? apparently of donald trump. and it is pathetic. kevin mccarthy is acting like an autocrat. this is something you would expect from putin. and remember, this is the same kevin mccarthy who refuses to strip marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignment even though she s espousing qanon theories and refusing to strip matt gaetz while he has multiple accusations of child sexual abuse. i mean, this man has no moral foundation whatsoever. and he s acting like he s more scared of donald trump and his wrath than he cares about our constitution. congressman, i m sorry to interrupt. we have to get to some breaking news but i thank you for your time this morning.
