The Pelosi partisan January 6 commission was never about investigating the facts, it was only ever about Pelosi\u2019s radical politics and the Left\u2019s endless obsession with crushing any discussion or debate,\u201d Stefanik said in a statement posted to Twitter. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/21\/nancy-pelosi-rejects-two-republicans-january-6-select-committee-jim-jordan-jim-banks-capitol-riot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(<strong>RELATED: Pelosi Says No To Two Republicans On The Jan. 6 Select Committee<\/strong>)<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"6.9942857142857\">\n<p>My statement on Speaker Pelosi\u2019s authoritarian decision regarding the January 6th commission: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DJ2DdXmeJQ\">pic.twitter.com\/DJ2DdXmeJQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

She is afraid of the American people finding out the truth that her failed leadership and the gross mismanagement of the U.S. Capitol led to the tragic events that day,\u201d she continued. \u201dIt is time to Fire Pelosi once and for all. I have no doubt that after the next November, Nancy Pelosi will never, ever hold the Speaker\u2019s gavel again. She will make history as the most despised Speaker of the House who will be fired not once, but twice. And it can\u2019t come soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who initially appointed Banks and Jordan with three other Republicans, has since responded by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/07\/21\/kevin-mccarthy-every-republican-member-january-6-select-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pulling all five GOP<\/a> nominees out of the committee, calling Pelosi\u2019s move \u201dan egregious abuse of power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201dUnless Speaker Pelosi reverses course and seats all five Republican nominees, Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts,\u201d McCarthy said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/republicanleader.house.gov\/mccarthy-statement-about-pelosis-abuse-of-power-on-january-6th-select-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkraju\/status\/1417891916604133379\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">did not fully explain<\/a> her reasoning behind blocking Banks and Jordan, in particular.

Troy Nehls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWith 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 Reps. Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee.
