A formal House reprimand didn’t contain the fallout from Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) interrupting President Trump’s speech to Congress, showing how petty fights and demands for retribution have become an increasingly prominent part of business on the House floor.
The House Freedom Caucus is asking Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to hold a vote next week on removing Green from his committees. And Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) could force a vote on another measure to remove Democrats from committees if they were part of the group that sang “We Shall Overcome” and got in a yelling match with Republicans on the House floor during Green’s censure.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) in response called the Republicans “malignant clowns” and called Ogles a “complete and total fraud,” warning: “Don’t make me expose you to folks who don’t know you.”

LIEberals!
IT'S PAYBACK TIME!
From the FRchives:
Green was censured for disrupting Trump’s speech to Congress.
<><>now the House Freedom Caucus is asking to remove Green from his committees.
<><>Rep. Andy Ogles wants a vote to remove Democrats from committees
<><>Dems yelling on the House floor during a Congressional proceeding-—Green’s censure.
<><>and were part of the group that stupidly sang “We Shall Overcome.”
The Hill is nothing more than a leftist propaganda rag for democrats. Despite all the crap the democrats in the House pulled when they had the majority, the Hill never called them out — because they are their propaganda wing.
Hakeem should go …
Al Green should be behind bars… in a zoo.
It is time to make public the Congressional sex coverup payment files.
Let us see who is who.
The only reason that the word “retribution” is being bandied about is because the Dems behavior over the past 8 years is deserving of a reckoning.
An old man shaking a cane is the perfect image for todays Democrat party and its ideas:
LAME
Someone should meme it up.
It appears to me to be a restoration of sanity, civility, and decorum which means that loony left shenanigans will no longer be tolerated.
Some faces of the destructive, evil Democrat Crime Syndicate collective. FACE-WORDS-DEEDS.
Thanks for posting.
Increased appetite for retribution? Yeah, because the J6 Committee was all on the up-and-up.
Pfffft....
I would temporarily remove the person from committees on the condition that they use the free time to return to their district and hold three in-person town hall meetings to hear from their constituents and learn how they feel about the behaviors that led to the censure.
Once they complete three in-person town hall meetings, they can return to their chamber and resume their committee assignments.
It is up to them whether or not they heed the sentiments of their voters by changing their behavior going forward -- assuming that their constituents were embarrassed by their antics.

Passing a censure is easier than passing legislation.
No, it doesn’t.
One censure for cause does not signal an appetite for censure
The Dingleberries Gang.
Constituent in districts of some of these knuckleheads might well demand more such behavior
If it’s retribution, explain why 10 dems voted for the censure.
