Pelosi has jammed Kevin McCarthy into a corner on the 1/6 committee. Picking Republicans who supported the Big Lie will show how deeply implicated the party is in the crime. Yet he can't pick Rs who will treat the proceedings seriously, either. My latest:

They are both major proponents of the Big Lie.
Indeed, virtually every GOPer floated by Punchbowl voted against Biden's electors:

@rickperlstein A highly suggestive quote from @RepRaskin, to me:
