Hero.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday for her choice in nominees to the select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, claiming that the picks "share her pre-conceived narrative."

"Speaker Pelosi's rejection of the Republican nominees to serve on the committee and self-appointment of members who share her pre-conceived narrative will not yield a serious investigation," McCarthy wrote in a statement.

McCarthy argued that Pelosi "has structured this select committee to satisfy her political objectives."

...

The minority leader claimed that Pelosi "destroyed" the committee's credibility.

"Speaker Pelosi's departure from this serious-minded approach has destroyed the select committee’s credibility. The U.S. Capitol and the men and women who protect it suffered a massive leadership failure. We must make sure that never happens again and that is what Republicans will be focused on," he said.

...

McCarthy's statement came hours after Pelosi appointed Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.) to join the panel, making him the second GOP member on the committee.

Kinzinger welcomed the nomination in a statement, writing, "When duty calls, I will always answer."
