Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy accused Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of "playing politics" this week over her refusal to accept two of his nominees for the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol.
One of those she refused, Ohio's GOP Representative Jim Jordan, claimed Democrats were responsible for the Capitol riot.
Despite being the one accusing Speaker Pelosi of "playing politics," McCarthy was the one who pulled all five of his picks for the committee after Pelosi refused two of them who themselves will likely be part of any investigation into the people who incited the riot.
While speaking with PBS Newshour's Lisa Desjardins, Pelosi said about McCarthy's remarks:
"Perhaps you mistake me for somebody who would care about that."
Pelosi when I asked her about McCarthy\u2019s blast that she is playing politics with Jan 6 committee - a classic: \u201cPerhaps you mistake me for somebody who would care about that.\u201d— Lisa Desjardins (@Lisa Desjardins) 1626899386
Pelosi's curt dismissal of McCarthy's whinging about not including potential co-conspirators in a House investigative committee pleased many Twitter users.

When people complain that the Jan. 6 committee is too \u201cpartisan,\u201d I wonder if they would have thought the Nuremberg trials were unfair because none of the judges were Nazis.— Mark Jacob (@Mark Jacob) 1626957989

Sometimes exaggeration makes a sharp point. So what is exaggeration today may not be tomorrow? Putting those repo\u2019s on the 1-6 investigation is like putting nazi\u2019s as nuremberg judges or dulles investigating kennedy assassination. To find truth you need those who want to find it.— Hal J. RIdley Jr. (@Hal J. RIdley Jr.) 1626907075

As heard on @StephMillerShow that would be like a Nazi being a Judge at the Nuremberg Trials. I mean Seriously . Or Jared being a jurist in his own trial for 100 counts of conspiracypic.twitter.com/gRhdBRMegu— Dont Stop Fighting 4 Democracy #VoteBlue2022 \ud83c\udf0a\ud83d\udc99 (@Dont Stop Fighting 4 Democracy #VoteBlue2022 \ud83c\udf0a\ud83d\udc99) 1626984902

This would be kind of like the Nazi Party holding their own Nuremberg Trials.— Jonathan Gaffney \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Jonathan Gaffney \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1626890991
It is as if we had let a Nazi Judge lead the Nuremberg trials or Al Qaeda investigate 9/11.— USFT (@USFT) 1626965086
In a statement on her decision not to allow Jordan and Indiana's GOP Representative Jim Banks to be part of the committee, Pelosi said:
"With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee."
"The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision."
Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming spoke out in favor of Speaker Pelosi's decision.
"I agree with what the speaker has done. At every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened, to block this investigation."
"I am absolutely dedicated and committed to making sure this investigation holds those accountable who did this and ensures that it never happens again."
