She is on the Joint Committee to Convert the US Economy to Communism. Bernie is the senate representative on the committee.

Of course. They rightfully see her as a loose cannon and a danger to their authority.

She should be on the Armed Services Committee because she is a loose cannon.

She may still wind up on the By Any Ways and Means Necessary Committee.
