Pelosi Rejects Jim Banks and Jim Jordan From January 6th Committee, McCarthy Responds By Pulling All GOP Committee Members First, the GOP were foolish, specifically Kevin McCarthy, for agreeing to put any republicans on the January 6th investigative committee in the first place. It was, and is, transparently obvious that the intent of Speaker Pelosi’s committee was to establish a political framework for the 2022 election cycle. Even Reuters pointed this out when they admitted the intent of the committee was to “ complicate Republicans’ efforts to win majority control of the House in the 2022 congressional elections.” Second, there is good news in this echo-chamber move by Pelosi to reject Republican committee members. The fact that Nancy Pelosi would block any specific members from participating only speaks to the political intent of the committee’s central purpose. Democrats have a habit of overplaying their hand; however, Republicans are weak in their ability to call it out with the eloquence and exposure it deserves.
