McCarthy plans to make good on his threat to kick Democrats off House panels The new Speaker will prevent Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from serving on the Intelligence Committee and Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee Comes as pay back for Democrats kicking Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar off their panel assignments in the 117th Congress Freshman Rep. George Santos, who is under criminal investigation, will also get committee assignments
Kevin McCarthy will make good on Republican threats to kick Democratic Representatives Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee, as well as blocking Ilhan Omar from serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
The move is likely payback for former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stripping GOP Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from their committee assignments during the 117th Congress.
Republicans warned that Democrats would regret down the road deciding to dictate who serves on what committees. If operating under usual precedent, Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would offer their names to the respective committees and McCarthy would approve.
Speaker McCarthy, however, told Punchbowl News that he's already made the case against all three far-left representatives earning spots on these high-profile committees.

My take is that this is nothing more than Go Time for the CIA and the other 16 intelligence agencies to clear the deck for their anointed 2024 presidential candidate... the strong horse is likely to be Gavin Newsom.
If the Dem machine in CA can keep a prominent Hispanic off the ballot for Senator, and if Feinstein finally retires, then Schiff would probably win. I moved out of CA going on six years ago so am no longer familiar with who the power brokers are there other than Newsom.
The Dems have enjoyed playing the demographics-is-destiny game, but that is going to bite them in the butt big time soon. Hispanics have grown to the largest percentage of the state's population at 39%. Only 5% are black. It's becoming harder for anyone other than Hispanics to win many elections in CA.
STRIKE from the record Your Honor!
Right post, wrong thread.
A W E S O M E
“Republican speaker boots Ilhan Omar and Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from Intelligence”
That new rule is highly unfair to Dems, that you must HAVE Intelligence to serve on that committee. :)
Umm...
No.
It's removing obvious leakers, spies, and foreign sympathizers from positions of intelligence data access.
But don't let the truth get in the way of good old fashioned partisanship Daily Mail...
Schiff should be on the Artic and Antarctic cold observant subcommittee with long stretches assigned to each.
“Speaker McCarthy, however, told Punchbowl News that he’s already made the case against all three far-left representatives...”
Make the case???
All he needs to do is reveal their record of performance.
Or, he just can kick their sorry asses out without saying a word.
It’s a start.
The party is over for these nasty DemonRats. Schiff was the worst. He lied his assz off about Russian collusion.... Supposedly Schiff will be running for Senate in California.
Hey this is good thing...he’ll burn up lots of Wollywood’s money....maybe.
I’ll admit - i’m impressed by his activity thus far.
There were more concessions than we know about.
Santos gets an assignment because he’s a fag.
“McCarthy plans to...”
“Kevin McCarthy will make good...”
So it hasn’t happened yet? How many morons will hand out participation trophies first?
Have they actually been off the committees yet?
Frankly, I am amazed that there hasn't been a push for power sharing from the dims. They tried that all the time when they lost the majority but still tried to manipulate their influence..
As if those buffoons had any intelligence at all
Good work. In order to serve on intelligence committees you need intelligence.
Schiff might run for Senate but this pos has to win the Democrat primary first
