Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Liz Cheney (R-WY), whom sources familiar with the matter confirm to Breitbart News have not appeared at a GOP conference meeting since Cheney was replaced earlier this year in May by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-WY) as conference chair.<\/p>\n<p>The polling, conducted by the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) as part of its monthly battleground survey, found that 50 percent\u2014a majority\u2014of respondents view the January 6 Committee as \u201cpartisan and politically motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The exact question asked of respondents was as follows: \u201cDo you believe the ongoing investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives is\u2026\u201d and respondents were offered two different options as answers, either \u201cfair and balanced\u201d or \u201cpartisan and politically motivated.\u201d Half of respondents, 50 percent, said \u201cpartisan and politically motivated\u201d whereas only 38 percent said \u201cfair and balanced.\u201d Eleven percent said they did not know, and one percent refused to answer.<\/p>\n<p>When a second question was asked further probing the matter, the results turned even worse for the Democrats. \u201cKnowing the Congressional select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has 9 members, all of whom were chosen by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, do you believe that\u2026\u201d was the opening of the question before two options were offered as answers, either \u201cthe investigation will be fair and balanced\u201d or \u201cthe investigation will be partisan and politically-motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On that second question, a clearer majority of 57 percent answered they believe the committee is partisan and politically motivated\u2014whereas less respondents, just 35 percent, said they think the investigation is fair and balanced. Less, eight percent, also said they did not know, and one percent again refused to answer.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the January 6 Committee\u2019s partisanship is interesting, thanks exclusively to Pelosi\u2019s decision to abuse the speakership with an unprecedented action of removing minority members from the committee. When the committee was originally formed, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy appointed a group of GOP members to the committee\u2014as is customary for any committee of Congress. Usually, the Speaker appoints members of the majority party and the minority leader appoints members of the minority party. In this case, however, after McCarthy introduced his selections\u2014which included Republican Study Committee (RSC) chairman Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and House Freedom Caucus founding chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH)\u2014Pelosi stripped those two members of their appointments and refused to allow Banks and Jordan to serve on the committee. In response to Pelosi\u2019s action, which has no basis in history, McCarthy then removed the rest of the GOP members of the committee\u2014making it a purely partisan sham.<\/p>\n<p>What happened next is Pelosi asked Cheney (R-WY), the recently-deposed former House GOP conference chair, and Kinzinger to join the committee. In the history of the House of Representatives, no member has ever gotten their committee assignments from the leader of the other party\u2014so this was particularly unprecedented. But Kinzinger\u2019s and Cheney\u2019s prior votes for impeachment of former President Donald Trump earlier this year preclude the idea they could be non-biased about this, or that their involvement in this committee somehow offers a veil of bipartisan or nonpartisan protection for the Democrats running it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Nonetheless, Cheney\u2014 including most recently comments to the House Rules Committee in a video promoted by the January 6 Committee\u2014has done her best to make the claim that the committee is somehow not \u201cpartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"12.701949860724\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;We hold these positions of public trust to do what is right and just.

Bennie Thompson (D-MS), \u201cdecided that this will be a non-partisan investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, though, the American public does not see it the way Cheney and her Democrat pals present it, based off the GOP polling that members were briefed on. What\u2019s more, this poll shades a bit toward the Democrat side of things as sources familiar with its sample say it is a battleground district poll of several dozen congressional battleground districts with an approximately four-point Democrat respondent advantage\u2014or a D-plus-4\u2014so the broader American public is likely even more aligned in believing that the January 6 Committee is a \u201cpartisan\u201d sham. The poll surveyed 1,000 likely voters from Nov. 6 to Nov. 10 across dozens of battleground districts in America, and has a margin of error of 3.1 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The new polling data, and the fact that Americans view the Pelosi panel as partisan, has Republicans unified behind the decision from McCarthy to withdraw from the committee. \u201cWe are unified behind Kevin and the leadership team\u2019s decision to withdraw from this sham partisan \u2018committee\u2019 after Nancy Pelosi rejected our picks and we know it was the right decision,\u201d the senior GOP aide told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House GOP members were briefed on Wednesday at their annual monthly conference meeting on polling data that proves the majority of Americans view House Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u2019s January 6 Committee &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1080706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1080706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1080706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1080706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1080706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1080706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
