Rep. Adam Kinzinger joins Rep. Liz Cheney as the only Republicans so far on the select committee that will probe the Capitol riot.
whether she planned to appoint “more Republicans to the committee, like Congressman Adam Kinzinger,” Pelosi answered: “That would be my plan.”Kinzinger is a rare Republican critic of former President Donald Trump and was one of 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of his second impeachment.
Before the appointment, Kinzinger had been telling people close to him he’d accept the slot in the committee if it were offered. He is joining Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who was the only Republican officially in the new select committee. Pelosi characterized Cheney, also a notable Trump critic, on Sunday as a “very courageous member of Congress.” Once the No. 3 Republican in the House, Cheney was removed from the leadership position in May after she criticized the former president.
