Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) criticized House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for his response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decision to veto his choices for a January 6th Select Committee on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters outside of the Capitol after McCarthy pulled his selections for the committee, Cheney said, “I am absolutely confident that we will have a nonpartisan investigation, that it will look at the facts, that it will go wherever the facts may lead. There are three members that the Minority Leader proposed that [the] Speaker did not object to. She has objected to two members and the rhetoric around this from the Minority Leader and from those two members has been disgraceful.”
