Therefore, the House established the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMonday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation,\u201d she added. \u201cI also informed him that I was prepared to appoint Representatives Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls, and requested that he recommend two other Members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWith respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee,\u201d she added.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Speaker concluded by stating the \u201cunprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Representative Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), also selected by McCarthy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/07\/21\/pelosi-vetoes-banks-jordan-for-jan-6-select-committee-500424\">said<\/a> of Pelosi\u2019s move, \u201cIt\u2019s bulls***.

Republicans have argued that Democrats are attempting to keep the discussion about the events of January 6th alive and relevant into the midterm elections next year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-to-create-commission-to-investigate-jan-6-timetable-will-be-as-long-as-it-takes\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> last month, Pelosi announced that she would be creating a select committee to investigate the riot.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The committee will \u201cinvestigate and report on the facts and the causes of the attack and it will report recommendations for the prevention of any future attack,\u201d Pelosi said at a press conference at the time, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/pelosi-select-committee-jan-6-capitol-riot-051fa8b4-4e4a-4945-9d89-e03e5b673d18.html\"><span class=\"s1\">Axios<\/span><\/a>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe timetable will be as long as it takes,\u201d Pelosi&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1408081731144622081\"><span class=\"s1\">said<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cSenate Republicans last month killed a bill that would have established a bipartisan commission to investigate January 6.
