Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she feels it is important to have GOP lawmakers who "are committed to upholding the rule of law," serve on the Jan. 6 select committee.
In her first interview since becoming the only Republican congress member appointed to the select panel to investigate the events of Jan. 6, Cheney told CNN, "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."
"And I would certainly hope that the minority leader will be guided by that as he makes his choices," Cheney said of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
CNN notes that it is unlikely McCarthy will heed Cheney's remarks, having pushed for her to be removed as House Republican Conference chair after she voted in favor of impeaching former President Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol. McCarthy opposed the creation of the committee and CNN notes that he has said decided whether he will appoint anyone to the committee.
