Pelosi Names Liz Cheney To Jan. 6 Committee, Along With Seven Democrats

[JoLoRod]

Cheney, "Since I was removed from the House Republican leadership chair, I have time to join this committee. McCarthy, never forget."

[ld]

When you find yourself rooting for Cheney you are reminded just how incredibly far the GQP has fallen.

[suzanbrown]

McCarthy is such a cowardly worm he will do precisely the wrong thing.

[phyliciapatterson]

Welp it's not a witch hunt it's a real committee. Don't cry Kevin.

[calmnsense]

I think Liz and her family are going to need some additional security to ensure their safety.

[MegaMr]

Isn’t Liz a Republican? but then again she shown her loyalty to the constitution rather than Trump.

[mamageesgospel]

Thank God someone is going to hold the Republican party and Don accountable for their blatant disgusting behaviors in the capital and for the abuse of police they claim to love ! 🤔

[aidanmcdonald]

Cheney making McCarthy answer questions, should be entertaining.

[holleydeshane]

Cheney, is the right choice for justice there's very few Republicans with the spine to achieve a full picture of the people who are responsible, it's time for TRUTH

[tselengbotlhole]

Yes!! Jamie Raskin is in the committee

[petehallgrimson]

I love seeing Schiff and Jamie Raskin in there as well. This is not going to go well for the GQP

[SamLowryDZ-]

Watch McCarthy use every trick to avoid being called and when dragged before them refusing to answer any questions.

[duncanmcneill]

Liz Cheney representing the “Vertebrate” wing of the Republican Party.

[GCJACK]

Cheney and Kinzinger are the only two in the whole House on the GQP side of the aisle who are legitimately sane human beings with functional brains in their skulls and a goddamned backbone, regardless of what you think of Cheney's father, you can't diminish the fact she has put Country before Party.

[theirishman]

They should get Katie Porter on this commission. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[gaileastwood]

If McCarthy were to strip any Repubs committee assignments for serving on this he will show what he is! He wouldn’t do anything about MTG and her comments she has said, nothing about Matt G and and he would for this, he’s pathetic

[mxkguitar]

Glad to have a tough member of Congress on this list that really wants the truth. I may not agree with Liz, but I know she loves America more than Trump! That's more than you can say about other GQP turncoats.

[m.rodrigolemus]

Kevin McCarthy being a good Lab dog 🐕and protecting his owner in Mara-Lago Donald J. Trump.🤡👍🇺🇲

[CycloneGU]

This was inevitable. Cheney has earned Pelosi's trust.

[frhyuhy]

Wow! What a list! I'm really proud of Cheney's willingness to do the responsible thing!
