The White House is responding to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert and Scott Perry all earning spots on the House Oversight committee in a new statement from White House Spokesperson, Ian Sams. In the statement, Sams slams Republicans for "handing the keys of oversight to the most extreme MAGA members of the Republican caucus who promote violent rhetoric and dangerous conspiracy theories."  While the four members are not explicitly named in the statement, the White House specifically notes new members of the committee include individuals who  "suggested violence against political opponents, with one drawing a bipartisan censure from the House. They have defended and downplayed a violent insurrection against our democracy, and one defied a subpoena in an investigation of his own involvement in January 6." This highlights just how combative the next two years could be with the oversight committee, which has already launched an investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents, and among other topics related to the Biden administration.
