GOP Lawmaker Barred From 1/6 Committee Blasts Pelosi: ‘She’s Only Interested in a Narrative’

Indiana Republican Representative Jim Banks on Sunday blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for barring him from the committee that will investigate January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol, arguing that the Democratic leader is "is not interested in an investigation, she's only interested in a narrative."

On Wednesday, Pelosi rejected Banks and Ohio Representative Jim Jordan as members of the committee. Both legislators are allies of former President Donald Trump, and the House speaker said she was concerned that they would "jeopardize the integrity of the investigation."

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Banks said "it's clear that Pelosi only wants members on this committee who will stick to her talking points and stick to her narrative. She claimed that the reason that she booted me from the committee was because of antics on the part of Jim Jordan and I."
