Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). The group cited the pair\u2019s \u201cegregious actions as part of the House of Representative\u2019s Jan. 6 Select Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They claimed that by going along with Democrats, the representatives are giving supposed bipartisan justification on the partisan panel. The letter finished by acknowledging that Cheney and Kinzinger were duly elected and should be allowed to serve, just not with the privileges of the conference they actively seek to undermine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you are aware, this committee has no formal representation from Republicans. Both Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger serve at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.),\u201d the lawmakers wrote.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not the first time GOP lawmakers have voiced their concern. Back in early September, Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) sent a letter calling on McCarthy to remove the two from the GOP Conference for their roles on the select committee.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">GOP members who take orders from Pelosi and the Far Left have made it clear they no longer represent the GOP. <\/p>\n<p>Thats why I just sent a letter to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a> McCarthy to create a rule that would remove GOP members who work for the opposition. <\/p>\n<p>See full letter below: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4q0knPuE79\">pic.twitter.com\/4q0knPuE79<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAndyBiggsAZ\/status\/1433493799460818953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/doj-ends-talks-over-compensating-families-separated-at-border\/\">DOJ Ends Talks Over Compensating Families Separated At Border<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 NOVEMBER 18: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) talks to reporters during his weekly news conference in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on November 18, 2021 in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"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-1126546","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\/1126546","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\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1126546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1126546\/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=1126546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1126546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1126546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
