Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), the ranking Republican member on the House Armed Services Committee, says Democrats were setting a precedent by expelling controversial freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her assigned congressional committees.
During an interview that aired Friday on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Rogers explained there were plusses to Democrats spending time on Greene and impeachment. According to the Alabama GOP lawmaker, if Democrats continued to pursue Greene and former President Donald Trump, they were not passing legislation.
“You just described why I’m not that unhappy about what they’re doing,” he said. “I hope this impeachment trial in the Senate lasts three months. If they’re spending two or three months on an impeachment trial, they’re not passing bills into law. I’ve been doing this a long time. The further you go into an election cycle, the dimmer the chances of you passing meaningful legislation are happening. If you want to get big things done, you better do it in the first three or four months of a two-year cycle because big things don’t happen that closer that election gets to you. I want them to spend a lot of time on silly stuff because that means they’re not passing bills.”
Rogers said when Republicans eventually regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives, which is a strong possibility after the 2022 midterm elections, a GOP majority could pursue similar actions against Democrat House members imposed on Greene.

But their leaders have bigger sets of balls than our do.
Well see, the GOP is playing softball and the dems play hardball
That is a problem. We really could take over the house next year. I’d love 3 impeachment’s and a few democrats losing committees. But alas leadership will not allow any of it.
Between institutionalized voter fraud and a fractured GOP I don’t see them as majority party ever again.
They bring Queensbury rules to a street fight . And have for as long as I can remember. Trump was the kind of bare knuckle brawler the party needed, but he offended the sensibilities of the elephant ruling class so he had to go.
There won’t be a Republican majority.
Vote fraud will make sure of it.
May they spend 1 plus years on their impeachment B$!
Wrong. With the exception of President Trump, Republican leaders have no balls.
“But their leaders have bigger sets of balls than our do.”
Fact. When the GOP is in the majority, they act like they are the minority. When Dems have a 1 vote advantage, they push it to the limit.
Besides, the GOP isn’t getting a majority of anything any time soon.
And the few that do are all women.
I’m done fighting for Republicans who turn around and fight with us.
I’ll believe it when it SEE IT!! These bastard republicans have NEVER fought for a damn thing NEVER!! 45+ years and they NEVER disappoint always know just how WEAK they will be!! They NEVER stand up for each other NEVER!! They are pussys!!
The republican party is finished in DC. They have have betrayed their base and millions will not be voting. The republicans will actually lose seats.
We’ve seen the true nature of the Uniparty.
Yeah, we’ll see. Kevin McCarthy is an acolyte of Paul Ryan.
Republican leadership lacks the spine to do anything that might upset their colleagues on the left.
No you don't.
Sure they do—when it comes to attacking conservatives. The Uniparty is the Uniparty.
Ask any husband who runs their household, that’s why the women have the balls!!!
Pretty bold talk from a no body.
All I get is bold talk.
Put up or shut up.
