Playbook: “McCarthy this week rewarded Trump’s most bombastic allies — including some of the members who initially opposed him as speaker — with seats on the high-profile House Oversight Committee, ground zero for the GOP’s investigations of President Biden.”
“The panel’s roster is set to include Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Scott Perry (R-PA), who will join the likes of Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) — a lineup sure to turn 2154 Rayburn into the Madison Square Garden of heavyweight political brawling.”
“It’s a risky strategy, to say the least.”
Dan Pfeiffer: “Putting these folks on this important committee was certainly part of the many backroom deals McCarthy made to secure the votes to become Speaker. In doing so, he made Joe Biden’s life easier and gave the Democrats an easy retort to the parade of investigations that they hope will trip up the Democrat while he runs for reelection.”
