Liz Cheney (R-WY), the former House Republican conference chair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a statement, Kinzinger reiterated his belief that the American public deserves \u201ctransparency and truth\u201d to determine how and why people showed up to the Capitol building to \u201cattack our democracy,\u201d and to determine what \u201cled to the insurrection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet me be clear, I\u2019m a Republican dedicated to conservative values, but I swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution \u2014 and while this is not the position I expected to be in or sought out, when duty calls, I will always answer,\u201d said Kinzinger.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.0978723404255\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today, I was asked to serve on the bipartisan January 6th Select Committee and I humbly accepted.

She had months to work with Republicans on a reasonable and fair approach to get answers on the events and security failures surrounding January 6,\u201d said McCarthy.&nbsp;\u201cInstead, she has played politics. Lost in much of the news coverage is the fact that the Senate has already conducted bipartisan investigations that should serve as a roadmap for the House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaker Pelosi\u2019s departure from this serious-minded approach has destroyed the select committee\u2019s credibility. The U.S. Capitol and the men and women who protect it suffered a massive leadership failure. We must make sure that never happens again and that is what Republicans will be focused on,\u201d added McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p><span>Kinzinger and Cheney will be joined by a group of Democratic lawmakers, including Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD), each of whom served as impeachment managers in Trump\u2019s Senate trials. The other members of the select committee are Reps. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), Elaine Luria (D-VA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Pete Aguilar (D-CA), and the select committee\u2019s chairman, Bennie Thompson (D-MS).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Thompson, who is also chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has declined to establish a timeline for how long he believes the select committee will investigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ll let the facts help determine how long we will need, but I assure you that the product will be a product based on investigations, based on what those investigations bring forward,\u201d said Thompson, as RollCall <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/2021\/07\/01\/pelosis-picks-for-jan-6-select-committee-include-liz-cheney\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> when the select committee membership was announced. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing sacrosanct in this review that won\u2019t be brought out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The select committee will hold its first hearing Tuesday with several Capitol and metropolitan police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
