Special rules for the Intelligence Committee allow the speaker to halt Schiff and Swalwell's appointments on his own, but stopping Omar will require a full House vote.

------------------------------------------------------

Indiana Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz on Tuesday indicated that she would not support House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's effort to block Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

"Two wrongs do not make a right. Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.] took unprecedented actions last Congress to remove Reps. Greene and Gosar from their committees without proper due process," Spartz wrote in a statement. "Speaker McCarthy is taking unprecedented actions this Congress to deny some committee assignments to the Minority without proper due process again."

There are currently 222 Republicans in Congress, with 218 forming a majority. Spartz's refusal to support Omar's ouster in a floor vote leaves McCarthy with little room for defection, though the far-left "Squad" member is still unlikely to survive a floor vote.

"As I spoke against it on the House floor two years ago, I will not support this charade again. Speaker McCarthy needs to stop 'bread and circuses' in Congress and start governing for a change," she went on. Spartz voted present during several rounds of the lengthy leadership contest that saw McCarthy claim the gavel.

It might be unprecedented for Republicans to do this, but it isn’t for the jackasses on the other side of the aisle. They do it whenever they want to.

It’s called “payback”, Victoria.
