I omitted Carlos Gimenez (FL)
The Miami Republicans seem to be on board with this unjust dick waving by Pelosi.
Should GOP retake the House will they have the balls to kick the squad off of committees? This is a rhetorical question.
Nicole Malliotakis was the GOP nominee for Mayor of NYC before she ran for Congress. The NYC Republicans have always been pretty RINOish, no surprise there. It's shocking whenever we DO get an ACTUAL conservative from NY, like Al D'Amato.

Bleh. A lot of conservatives howl about Marco Rubio, but give a free pass to his equivalents on the house level, even though the trio of south FL Hispanic Republicans are clearly to his LEFT. Remember, Trump won big in FL, including with Hispanic voters of ALL ethnicities there, so no excuses for them. And incredibly, their predecessors from south FL (Lincoln Díaz-Balart & Ileana Ros-Lehtinen) were EVEN WORSE than what we have no now, but the "Tea Party" crowd screaming bloody murder over lesser RINOs never seemed to notice or care that Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was one of the most liberal Republicans in Congress. I remember a bit of grumbling about Lincoln Díaz-Balart, and then "assurances" from the GOP establishment that his brother Mario was supposedly "much more conservative", which clearly hasn't turned out to be true.
As for Illinois' own Kinzinger, I used to think the "Tea Party" crowd demanding his head on a platter was way overkill (they'd insist he was the 'worst Republican from Illinois', ignoring the pesky facts that guys like Mark Kirk, Bob Dold, and Judy Biggert were well to his left, and Kinzinger was more of a 70-80% conservative Norm Coleman type Republican), and amusing, the "true conservative" who challenged Kinzinger in the primary was ALSO talking up Bruce Rauner in the GOP primary, so that told me all I needed to know about his "principles"). LATELY, however, Kinzinger has increasingly suffered from Trump derangement snydrome, and has become far more NeverTrump that I ever was, and he's been a complete pain in the butt for Illinois conservatives as the fawning national media covers this jerk. Time to dump him. Although I'm still annoyed that nobody seems to notice that "true conservative" Darin LaHood turned traitor and voted to override Trump's veto and refused to contest the steal. "Most conservative Republican from Illinois", my @$$. He, Rodney Davis, and Kinzinger are all backstabbing scum doing the bidding of their beltway masters.
