Members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus called Thursday for the expulsion of Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., from the GOP conference for their participation in the House's Jan. 6 special committee.
They are a cancer to our party and to our caucus, and they must be expelled from our conference, Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, a member of the caucus, said Thursday.
The group, which directly called on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to act, also requested a new rule that would expel any member of the party for undertaking a committee assignment that party leadership does not support.
Both Cheney and Kinzinger joined the Jan. 6 special committee at the behest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and against McCarthys wishes. Their presence reflects an effort to make the panel as bipartisan as possible, despite Republican leaderships decision not to participate.
