Over 50 leaders of conservative groups called on Kevin McCarthy to boot Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney from the House GOP conference
Over 50 Republican leaders — many of whom lead the most important organizations within the conservative movement — released a letter calling for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to remove Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the House GOP conference.
It's the latest saga in an ongoing effort to punish the duo for participating in the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
In July, the hard-line House Freedom Caucus also called for the two to be expelled from the conference, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene raised the issue again recently as the House prepared to censure Rep. Paul Gosar for posting a violent anime video that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The letter cites Cheney and Kinzinger's "egregious actions as part of the House of Representatives January 6th Select Committee."
