The lone Republican on 1/6 panel so far, Liz Cheney vows to 'stand for the truth'
CNN
Rep. Liz Cheney has a strong admonition for House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy: any Republican still challenging the legitimacy of the 2020 election results or whitewashing the January 6 insurrection is not fit to serve on the select committee investigating it.
"It's very important that we have members who are committed to upholding the rule of law and members who are committed to their oaths to the Constitution," Cheney said to CNN in her first interview since becoming the only Republican named to the select panel by Democrats. "And I would certainly hope that the minority leader will be guided by that as he makes his choices." While Cheney didn't name names, that characterization of who she thinks is unqualified could apply to a wide swath of her Donald Trump-hugging colleagues in the House GOP -- some of whom are in the mix to serve as one of McCarthy's five picks for the congressional investigation into the Capitol riots. Only nine House Republicans joined Cheney in voting to impeach Trump for inciting the January 6 siege, while 139 House Republicans voted to challenge the certification of Trump's 2020 loss.
