Wow: Pelosi vetoes appointment of Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from January 6 committee HotAir

I m shocked. Kevin McCarthy s strategy in choosing Banks and Jordan for the committee was to balance those two hardcore MAGA appointees with three somewhat less MAGA ones, denying Pelosi a chance to say that McCarthy had made a mockery of the process by appointing only anti-anti-insurrectionists. I suspect he thought Pelosi would grudgingly agree to the two Jims plus Rodney Davis, Troy Nehls, and Kelly Armstrong as the best she could realistically hope for under the circumstances, knowing that McCarthy had to satisfy Trump fans in his base too. And I thought he was right.

We were both wrong.
