The Spin

Democratic narrative

The attempts to deny spots on key panels to Democrats were partly in retaliation to the justified removal of Majorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from other committee assignments. No legitimate wrongdoing has been found to have been committed by either Schiff or Swalwell, and there is no reason outside of partisan politics for their potential rejection by McCarthy.

Washington Post

Republican narrative

Schiff perpetuated the improper Trump-Russia collusion theory, while Swalwell has ties to Chinese espionage. Though Jeffries has stated any rejection would go against House precedent, it was former Speaker Nancy Pelosi who first rejected McCarthy's recommendations in 2021. McCarthy and the Republican Party are well within their rights to act according to their conscience.
