House Votes to Strip Marjorie Taylor Greene From Committees
The Wall Street Journal. ^ | 02/04/2021 | Kristina Peterson

The House voted Thursday to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments, delivering a severe rebuke to the Georgia Republican hours after she said she regretted her past embrace of conspiracy theories.

The House voted 230-199 to remove Mrs. Greene from the budget and education committees, with 11 Republicans siding with Democrats. The move will diminish Mrs. Greene’s ability to shape legislation and work with other lawmakers, sidelining her just weeks into her first term in office.

Democrats said the move was a necessary response to counter the violent rhetoric and misinformation that helped foment the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, since GOP leaders declined to sanction her. Republicans warned it could spark future retaliation.

No.

The majority party of the House can do this, as they did.

The ‘RATS would never do this to one of their own. Republicans are yellow-bellied COWARDS.

“Any surprises on this list?!?”

***

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York

Rep. Young Kim of California

These 2 clowns recently won close elections in their districts and are new. Looks like theyve been bought and paid for by the dick state this early..

And they are ones to talk about conspiracy theories. Waters believes Putin invaded North Korea. Others believe we landed on Mars and planted our flag, and that guy that believes Guam will tip over.

And you know they will soon start to go after folks that believe in other conspiracies. Like folks who think the election was stolen, or that the government wants to take their guns away.

[[She has apologized for he statements of the past and says they do not represent who she is today and do not represent the views of her district. ]]

Doesn’t matter- ONLY hateful liberals get a pass for ‘apologies’ (that really aren’t apologies- they are morel ike “Sorry if you got offended over something that isn’t offensive)

She shouldn’t have apologized till maybe later- now hateful liberals have 2 wins- they forced her to apologize, AND they kicked her off which they were gonna do regardless whether she apologized or not

[[Not at all certain this vote has any authority. ]]

those are rules ONLY for republicans- If liberals clai m they can, then that is the ‘New Truth’, they can, why? Because Republicans will NEVER assert their rights or the law

[[In no way, shape or form may the majority demonrats decide what committees repubs are allowed on.]]

in no way shape or form can they steal elections either- yet they do

I hear where you’re coming from.

But let’s see what Trump can do with the primaries first.

It is VERY hard to win a primary against someone who’s in office.

The deck is stacked against them in more than a few ways.

But I will see who stands with Trump and see if he can get some conservative primary winners.

I got suckers by Susan Molinari on Staten Island..showed her colors years after office.

I hope Nicole the Greek isn’t suckering me.

I will we be watching her closely.

I agree. With the help of the commie dem members, Republicans kept back stabbing, No Trumper, Cheney in her high party position and took a PRO Trump Greene down from her jobs. Twisted elected RINOS in the GOP who join with the commie dems to help them destroy this Republic. Sad state of affairs with the GOP letting this crap go on and no apparent party discipline to members who clearly have an interest in assisting the commie dems.

Did they vote by secret ballot like the GOP caucus on Cheney? Of course not. Say what you want about those wicked bastards but they’ll pull their hijinks right to your face. They don’t lack for a pair

All three Republicans from Florida who voted for the resolution have Hispanic names.

Also, a Korean Republican from California.

Why does the Republican Party even bother reaching out to ethnic communities if only center-left RINOs show up for the job?

Just four years ago, a Black GOP Congressman from a Texas-Mexico border District refused to endorse Trump for president.
