Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) speaks to reporters outside of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 3:46 PM PT \u2013 Monday, July 26, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) has been set to deliver an opening statement at the first hearing of the January 6 select committee. At the hearing on Tuesday, Cheney\u2019s remarks have been scheduled to follow the Democrat chair of the committee, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson (D).<\/p>\n<p>Following the remarks, the committee is expected to hear testimony from four Capitol Hill officers, who were on duty during the events on January 6. Cheney\u2019s appointment has led to increasing hostility between her and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), which prompted Cheney to accuse McCarthy of attempting to hide the truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere must be an investigation that is nonpartisan, that is sober, that is serious, that gets to the facts wherever they may lead,\u201d she stated. \u201cAt every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, McCarthy appointed five other Republicans to the committee in an effort to promote bipartisanship until Nancy Pelosi vetoed two picks. Her veto led McCarthy to pull the Republicans and label the committee a \u201cpolitical stunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">If Republican speaker had pulled same stunt that Pelosi did this week and determined that only one point of view is allowed in a committee hearing, the media would yell that Republicans are \u201cauthoritarian\u201d and destroyed tradition of allowing debate. Media has given Pelosi a pass!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepJimBanks\/status\/1419670225067331592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Following Cheney\u2019s appointment, along with that of anti-Trump Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), McCarthy left open whether they would be stripped of their committee assignments. When talking to a reporter on Monday, he went as far as to call both representatives \u201cPelosi Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trump-stumps-for-house-candidate-susan-wright-ahead-of-tuesday-runoff-election\/\">President Trump Stumps For House Candidate Susan Wright Ahead Of Tuesday Runoff Election<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
