Conservative Colorado Republican Ken Buck (R-CO) told NBC News’s Chuck Todd on Friday he is opposed to removing members from committees based on political retaliation.
“Do you think? You know, this is something that should be done? And do you think the tit for tat is healthy?” Todd asked on Meet the Press NOW.
“I don’t. I think that Nancy Pelosi ruined this institution. I think she ruined it in a lot of different ways. And one of the ways was kicking members off of committees, which hadn’t been done in the past,” replied Buck.
“Certainly, their own party has kicked members off committees. Steve King from Iowa, for example, was removed from committee assignments by Republicans, but that hasn’t happened with the other party. She she determined who would get on the January 6th Commission and put two Republicans on that committee. So I think that we should not engage in this tit for tat,” he added, concluding:
I am opposed to the selection or the removal of Congresswoman Omar from committees. I have a little bit less certainty about Congressman Schiff and Swalwell on intelligence just because it’s a little bit different than a regular committee. But I’m going to think through that and make a decision.
Buck’s statement could likely sink Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) vow to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the Foreign Affairs Committee, which requires a full vote of the House.

For crying out loud! Et tu, Ken Buck? Truly unbelievable. https://t.co/ES1hH7eDwU— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) January 27, 2023
Well then theres no problem.
Its clear exactly why they were kicked off and its not retaliation. The explanations are clear why.
Republicans can't even complete the organizing process without defections. They will never show a unified face to the Democrats, and Jeffries knows it.

Ken Buck is Deep State all the way ....
Time for Colorado Republicans to throw this maggot, Buck, out on his ass. Maybe he can go over to the far left so he can be with that America-hating, Muzzie biatch, Omar. It’s okay for the RATS to retaliate but the little boy doesn’t think the Republicans should do it. What a jerk.
It’s not tit for tat if they actually have any basic principles.
Shut the buck up, Ken — cozying up to Comcast — traitor!
The non-MAGA GOPe is the most disgusting group of backstabbing snivlers imaginable. I don’t see how any of them could make it in real life.
Pathetic weaklings. Primary them all!

“McCarthy is now lifting up people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Emmer and so many others. If he cared about addressing the rise in hate, he would apologize and make sure others in his party apologized.”

I guess the climate of Minnesota leaves much to be desired this time of year.
No one told me that insulting the boss was a good way to get or keep a job.
Screw you Uncle Buck!
Exactly- and if he can’t see the reasons why she is kicked off- then he really has no business calling himself a republican
Maybe Buck has a crush on Omar.

Who says it is tit for tat?
Has no one noticed that the people McCarthy has booted so far are a disgrace, that they have committed crimes against our country, that they have lied over and over to the voters?
No honorable person would defend them unless it was as a defense attorney in court, something to which they would be entitled to under our legal system
The Republicans, as usual, have no teeth.
The Biden admin went so deep in purging republicans and conservatives they even fired Michael Savage.
He had an honorific position as Presidio Trust President in San Fan and with multiple degrees in science was more than qualified.
We are losing because the Dems treat this as a dirty war and idiots/deep staters like Buck treat it as a boxing match following the Marquees of Queensberry Rules.

Has Kenny got a lot of radical muslims in his district?
