Rep. Kevin McCarthy pledged to voters last fall that, if the Republicans won the House, they would address the mortal threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. He promised to create a special committee to lead that effort.   

Last month, the “Select Committee on the Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party” was duly established under Chairman Mike Gallagher. The question now is: Will it do the job?  

There was an ominous development over the weekend. On Sunday, Rep. Gallagher seemed to take off the table what is arguably the single most important matter to be investigated – namely, the extent to which American elites have been “captured” by the CCP and are now playing for the other team. He declared that “questioning anybody’s loyalty to the United States…is beyond the pale.”  

CCP-captured elites must be exposed, not protected.
