House Republican leaders won’t say whether they will support — or even participate in — a proposed select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol.
Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 2 Republican, demurred Tuesday when asked if Republicans would sit on the panel, telling reporters at a news conference that “I can’t answer that question.” Asked whether any Republicans will vote for the resolution to create the committee, he said “we’ll see how the vote goes.”
That vote is expected Wednesday.
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy also declined to answer questions about Republicans’ role on the panel, saying only that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “has never talked to me about it.”
The Republican reticence comes as McCarthy is facing pressure to take the investigation seriously from police officers who responded to the attack, Democrats and even some of his fellow Republicans. The resolution introduced by Pelosi on Monday would have eight members on the committee appointed by Pelosi and five appointed “after consultation” with McCarthy — meaning Pelosi could potentially have veto power over every appointment to the panel.

The cat has 9 lives. Pelosi and the corrupt democrats will never stop going after a FORMER President until they see him in prison. Russia, Ukraine, tax returns, former lawyers, donors, insurrection. These democrat fiends will never stop wasting tax dollars on useless fishing expeditions. Instead of worrying and doing something about the rise in violent crime in THEIR cities, they will just keep harassing the Trump family. The democrats fiddle as America burns. The average dumb stupid American doesn’t care. They’re still arguing with each other over masks and vaccines.
