Kinzinger charges that McCarthy’s ‘failed to tell the truth’
Fox News
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois is taking aim at House GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, emphasizing that the chamber’s minority leader is not being honest with Americans.
Kinzinger was one of just 10 House Republicans who voted in January to impeach then-President Trump of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by right wing extremists aiming to disrupt congressional certification of now-President Biden’s Electoral College victory over Trump. And the conservative lawmaker first elected to Congress in the 2010 Tea Party wave was one of 35 House Republicans who last week bucked party leadership and voted in favor of a Jan. 6 commission to investigate the attack on the Capitol. McCarthy last week announced his opposition the formation of the commission and worked with House GOP leadership to limit the number of defections when the full chamber voted on the matter on Wednesday. While 35 Republicans supported the inquiry, the vast majority of the 212 member GOP conference opposed the move.More Related News
