'Spies for the Democrats': GOP lawmakers facing scrutiny for Jan. 6 lash out at colleagues

Lawmakers who've had their phone records requested by the Jan. 6 select committee are issuing threats and calling for punishment against members on the investigatory panel.

House Republicans who are being reviewed as part of a probe into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol are up in arms, and now some are targeting their fellow GOP lawmakers.

On Tuesday night, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) — who is among the nearly one dozen GOP lawmakers whose phone records the House select committee is seeking — called for two Republicans on the committee to be banished from the House Republican conference.

In a letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Biggs called the two GOP lawmakers — Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) — "spies for the Democrats" and said they should be expelled from the conference.

based on remarks like these, and the constant right-wing propaganda from the likes of Fox News.
