Pelosi on Kinzinger: “He brings great patriotism to the Committee’s mission: to find the facts and protect our Democracy.” speaker.gov/newsroom/72521
McCarthy: “Speaker Pelosi’s rejection of the Republican nominees to serve on the committee and self-appointment of members who share her pre-conceived narrative will not yield a serious investigation.”
McCarthy: “The Speaker has structured this select committee to satisfy her political objectives. She had months to work with Republicans on a reasonable and fair approach to get answers on the events and security failures surrounding January 6.”
McCarthy: “Instead, she has played politics. Lost in much of the news coverage is the fact that the Senate has already conducted bipartisan investigations that should serve as a roadmap for the House.”
McCarthy:”Pelosi’s departure from this serious-minded approach has destroyed the select committee’s credibility. US Capitol & the men & women who protect it suffered a massive leadership failure.We must make sure that never happens again & is what Republicans will be focused on."
Kinzinger (R-IL) in accepting Pelosi’s appointment to 1/6 Cmte:”I’m a Republican dedicated to conservative values,but I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution—and while this is not the position I expected to be in or sought out, when duty calls,I will always answer.”
