Democrats on Monday unveiled legislation to remove Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House budget and education committees.
House Democratic leaders are threatening to move forward with the bill if Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy doesn’t unilaterally yank Greene from the posts.
The legislation, sponsored by former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), was introduced as House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) privately lobbied McCarthy (R-Calif.).
The two-page bill reads: “Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed from her committee assignments in light of conduct she has exhibited.”
It doesn’t cite specific offenses to justify removal, but Democrats have blasted the just-sworn-in congresswoman for a litany of remarks reflecting either strident political rhetoric or open-mindedness to conspiracy theories.
Hoyer said in a statement, “It is my hope and expectation that Republicans will do the right thing and hold Rep. Greene accountable, and we will not need to consider this resolution. But we are prepared to do so if necessary.”
Some reports say that Hoyer gave McCarthy 72 hours to make up his mind.
Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds vote and is considered unlikely.
Democrats have used Greene’s conduct to suggest Republicans are too close to unhinged political figures following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, but Republicans have sought to avoid a showdown on Greene in favor of reunifying the party.

This kind of stuff proves how weak the dems really are.
For her own good she should of kept a little lower profile and been a little more concilitry instead of being a Republican AOC who really should be shunted off of a committee with her friend Ilhan Omar.
WTF?!
Continuing on that they care NOT for actually getting on to the business of the country - like that $2000 covid stimulus or helping out the US through this time of vaccination or legislating assistance for the millions now out of jobs.
No no— have to consolidate Democrat power first. That’s what’s most important.
It’s a Commie, fascist Purge.

The Republicans like trump be attacked day in and day out for four years plus now.
They were too busy sabotaging him.
They had all these options - and did nothing. Never called any of the Biden $$$ boys.

**** all Communist ***h0!€$
Unless Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are stripped of every committee assignment, Republicans need to fight this tooth and nail. Until Democrats do something about their crazies, they have no right to ask Republicans to do anything about theirs.
Should every congressman who promoted the Russian fraud by kicked out of congress?
With the antics of Sheila Jackson Lee and the Squad, the dems are concerned about Greene. That’s cute.
Maybe prevent her from running for reelection too...
Yeah, she should be more like Romney and Mitch.
This is basically a call for a one-party state.
If the GOP weren't spineless animals, they would sponsor their own bill to remove kooks like Maxine Waters from committees. Goose, gander and all that.
We'll see what the Surrender Party chooses to do.
Sounds like a Bill of attainder to me.🤔
1861 all over again.
Really? Hyperbole?
Texas has filed legislation to begin secession from the Union. January 2021.
What if SC files too? Or Florida?
All bets are off.

No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.Not that it would make any difference with the Democrats.
“legislation “
So it would have to pass the Senate and be signed by Joe...
WOW! Not exactly “unifying”!
I think Kevin can safely ignore the threat.
For her own good she should of kept a little lower profile and been a little more concilitry instead of being a Republican AOC
