Representative Matt Gaetz questioned how Republicans are supposed to 'trust' the GOP House leader in a Thursday tweet.
Last week, Representative Andy Biggs, an Arizona Republican who chairs the conservative House Freedom Caucus,to McCarthy urging him to add a new rule for conference members that would lead to Kinzinger's and Cheney's expulsion.
As McCarthy faces the pressure from pro-Trump GOP lawmakers, Kinzinger and Cheney have increasingly criticized his leadership. At the beginning of August, Kinzinger saidagainst the GOP leader to compel him to testify before the House select committee about his phone call with Trump during the events of January 6.
Cheney—who is the vice chair of the January 6 committee, along with Chair Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat—slammed McCarthy for claiming Trump was cleared of his alleged role to incite the violent mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol. McCarthy has publicly criticized Kinzinger and Cheney. In late July, he blasted the two GOP lawmakers, calling them"Pelosi Republicans" over their involvement with the January 6 committee. Both Republican lawmakers were among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the wake of his supporters' attack on the U.S. Capitol.
