House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Thursday said he is doing 'exactly what we're suppose to do' by keeping Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff off the the House Intel Committee.
'The Five' co-hosts react to Kevin McCarthy booting Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., off key committees.
"If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn't have Swalwell on any committee," McCarthy said in the press conference after one reporter questioned MCarthy's commitment to allowing Democrats to pick their own committee membership. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters if they knew what was in the FBI briefing about Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., they would not want him on any congressional committee.
"You're going to tell me there are 200 other Democrats that couldn't fill that slot, but they kept him on it? The only way that they even knew it came forward is when they put to nominate him to the Intel committee. And then the FBI came and told the leadership that he's got a problem, and they kept him on. That jeopardized all of us," McCarthy said.
