SPRINGFIELD – U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) supports the decision of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to remove all his nominees, including Davis, from the select committee investigating the Capitol security break of Jan. 6.
“In the end I’m disappointed, because I wanted a chance to talk about the security failures in and around the Capitol complex that put our brave men and women in danger on Jan. 6,” Davis said. “I got briefed on Jan. 5 by Capitol police bc of my position as ranking member of (the) House Administration (Committee), and there was nothing in that briefing that made me think we would witness what we saw on the Sixth.”
Davis said it had to be “all or nothing” about the Republican nominees, adding the minority party has always had the ability to seat its own members — and that Pelosi’s action was beyond even anything former Illinois House Speaker.
