The Democrat-dominated Jan. 6 Committee, which has long faced accusations of partisan conduct, now has its sights set on GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

The Jan. 6 Commission was created by the Democratic-led House during the summer of 2021 in an almost totally party-line vote. Only two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), voted in favor of the commission; these two are also the only two Republicans with a seat on the committee.
