Congresswoman Tenney Comments on Pelosi Disapproving Republicans for Select Committee

Washington, DC - Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) issued the following statement in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing her denial of two Republican members of Congress from serving on the House Select Committee on January 6. 

"This is the first time in our Nation’s history that a Speaker of the House has blocked members of the minority party from serving on a Select Committee. It is unprecedented but not surprising. Speaker Pelosi’s priority from the start has been to preserve her power and further divide the American people. While the Senate has produced bipartisan assessments of the events on January 6, Speaker Pelosi and Democratic leaders in the House have done nothing but play politics. Speaker Pelosi’s decision today proves once again that she has no intention of overseeing a process that is fair or fact-based."
