McCarthy 'shocked' Cheney accepted Jan. 6 panel assignment from Pelosi
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Thursday that he was "shocked" that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) would accept an invitation from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to serve on the new select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
McCarthy said that he hadn't heard from Cheney and suggested that she is more allied with Democrats than the party in which she served as the third-ranking leader until her ouster in May.
"I was shocked that she would accept something from Speaker Pelosi," McCarthy told reporters in the Capitol.
"It would seem to me, since I didn't hear from her, maybe she's closer to [Pelosi] than us. I don't know," he said.
McCarthy and his allies backed ousting Cheney as the House GOP conference chair for repeatedly pushing back on former President Trump's false claims of election fraud and directly blaming him for inciting the mob of his supporters who tried to stop Congress from ratifying the election results.
