In reply to the discussion: Breaking -Speaker Pelosi rejects Jordan and Banks [View all]halfulglas
(1,654 posts)47. McCarthy always knew Pelosi had retained this option.
The general consensus was she wouldn't use it because it would "politicize" the committee too much - like Jordan and what's his name didn't do that just by being appointed. Besides Kinsinger who I think would be a good replacement, I believe she can add ex-representatives like Denver Riggelman who has excellent security credentials and although being a nominal Republican actually thinks for himself. If the other 3 reps pull out, she can replace them with other ex representatives. She should have them lined up in case. I think there are other Republicans who aren't trolls will be acceptable to most mainstream Americans.
