Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi objected when CNN anchor Chris Wallace asked if she’d “opened the door” for Republicans to kick Democratic members of Congress Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and Ilhan Omar off of their committees......
WALLACE: Didn’t you open the door to this?
PELOSI: No, we set a precedent which I hope they will follow. If they have members, as they did, who threatened the security of our members on the committee or a danger to our members, threatening them, then they will go off the committee. So if they have that accusation about any of our members, let’s hear what they have to say. It was clear that their members were a threat to our members. So this is about maintaining safety for our members. The fact that they want to take these people off the committee is philosophical. So, they have the votes they could take somebody off, but that’s for philosophical reasons. That’s not the precedent that we set. We said if you’re a danger, you’re a danger. You can’t be on the committee.
WALLACE: They would say Ilhan Omar has made a number of anti-semitic comments, they’d say Eric Swalwell had a relationship of some sort with an alleged Chinese spy. Those are legitimate reasons to kick them off their commitees.
PELOSI: Well, that’s not — there’s not legitimate reasons. If they want to do that, then that’s the precedent they are setting, but don’t say it’s a precedent that we set. We said these people are a danger to the other members of the committee and they’re threatening manner and the rest, and that’s why they’re going off the committee, because they’re a danger.

It is laughable and actually slander to state publicly that Republicans Jim Jordan and Jim Banks were going to assault any people on the January 6th Committee.
If she had prior knowledge, she could have ordered their arrests. What she did was 100% political and now she’s bald-faced lying.
One or both of them need to sue this seahag for slander.
OK, where does chrissy have a TV talk show that nancy peeloser was on?
She’s pretty clear - Being a threat to National security is fine.
Her stated concern is only with the safety of her party members.
Obviously, Nancy felt it was safe to do and interview with Chris Wallace.
I can’t think of much that’s more dangerous than having a guy who’s sleeping with a Chinese spy on the intelligence committee.
“ If they have members, as they did, who threatened the security of our members on the committee or a danger to our members, threatening them, then they will go off the committee. So if they have that accusation about any of our members, let’s hear what they have to say. ”
And we all remember when Nasty Pelosi went on national TV and explained her reason for excluding main stream republicans. /s/
How about a guy in charge of the nation's entire commercial aviation program who just happens to believe that he can grow two breasts and feed his "children" on them?
Guess that means she would support removing 'Mad Maxine' from her committees...
;>)
For once, Chrissy Wallace asks a fair question. And of course Pelosi can’t answer it. A “danger” to other committee members, what a joke!
I swear Nanzi babbles almost as bad as KamalHo ...
That’s up there too
should restraining orders have been filed if they were so dangerous...
The MSM is slow on the up tick why do the bother asking a democrat a question they already know the answer they will get.
Report on their actions and results if they want facts.
