The White House condemned the addition of far-right Republicans to the House Oversight Committee.
The White House on Wednesday condemned the addition of far-right Republicans to the House Oversight Committee, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene , Paul Gosar , Scott Perry and Lauren Boebert .The blistering statement foreshadows the tension that will fester in Washington over the next two years, with the Oversight Committee set to be ground zero for investigations and high-profile standoffs between House Republicans and the Biden administration.
"Chairman Comer once said his goal was to ensure the Committee's work is 'credible,' yet Republicans are handing the keys of oversight to the most extreme MAGA members of the Republican caucus who promote violent rhetoric and dangerous conspiracy theories," he added. Sams called on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to "reveal transparently once and for all what secret deals" he made with Republican rebels to secure their support during the speaker election.
