January 6th Committee adds another Republican to its ranks
The January 6th Committee currently consists of six House Democrats, along with House Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. This was the result of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy attempting to put conspiracy theorists Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the committee, prompting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to reject them, in turn prompting McCarthy to pull all five of his picks.
But now the committee is about to add another Republican to its ranks. Denver Riggleman, a former House Republican who lost his seat to a primary challenge last year, is joining the committee as an “adviser.” This will serve to help balance things out in terms of the number of Democrats and Republicans involved with the committee, while also keeping the committee based in honesty; Riggleman began calling Trump out on his lies awhile back.
