This will be remembered as another inflection point in the steady unraveling of institutional norms on Capitol Hill.
At least Marjorie Taylor Greene won’t have to spend time sitting at the end of the dais during long committee hearings.
House Democrats voted to boot her from her committee assignments in an act that they will surely come to regret, perhaps as soon as January 2023.
If the majority can keep members of the opposition party off of committees based on incendiary comments, it’s not clear why the GOP ever let, say, Maxine Waters serve on any committees when it had control of the chamber, or why it ever will again.
Kicking off Greene will come to be remembered as another inflection point in the steady unraveling of institutional norms on Capitol Hill.
That said, we believe that Republicans should have taken matters into their own hands and denied Greene her committee assignments to draw a line against malicious lunacy in their own ranks.
That Democrats had a gun to his head with their threat to have a floor vote on Greene’s committee assignments probably made it more politically difficult for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to act on his own. He did seek a deal with the Democrats to take her off the House Committee on Education and Labor and the Budget Committee and instead relegate her to the Small Business Committee.
When Democrats didn’t bite, McCarthy again condemned her past comments and wrung an expression of regret from her in an internal GOP meeting earlier in the week that she repeated on the House floor on Thursday. Her statement didn’t ring with sincerity, but it was better than nothing, even if she was immediately holding a combative press conference where she said, “I’m fine with being kicked off committees because it’d be a waste of my time.”
We have, no doubt, not heard the last of her.
What goes around comes around. Just ask Harry Reed.
Hello, this Mr. West, Jr. from Lufkin, Texas and I just want to say that the Democrats should not have any reason to regret to Stop Congresswoman Green for her violent behavior and she should be expelled from Congress. She is a disgrace and an embarrassment to our Democracy. She going around with a Semi-automatic assault rifle and making threats to our Speaker Nancy Pelosia, Former President Obama, and Many others that she has threatened. She violated her oath sworn and wants to cause harm to our Democracy. Let me tell all the Republicans in Congress that there is A God in Heaven that all of us will stand before an give an account to for our hate, racial, and just down right want it to be their way. We all are Americans and we all need to Love ❤️ more and stop the hatred toward others. God is watching and He will bring justice to all whom we mistreated here.
You are no Rev., either Mr. Troll. If you were a Reverend you would have a biblical worldview.
but it was ok for maxine waters, nancy pelosi, sheila jackson, al green, cory booker, chuck schumer and others to do even worse in fact maxine waters called for the assassination of President Trump and she incited people to go to places of public where republicans ate at confronted and even assaulted or threatened them. Please take the Reverend off your name, you are not a minister of God if you think one wrong is lesser than another.
AMEN! Was going to say the same!
You seem to harbor a lot of hate and resentment for a reverend. But democrats are allowed their hypocrisy. You may rethink what rewards await you in heaven, reverend.
Even if the Republicans win back the House in 2022, they don’t have the b–ls to kick Waters or anyone else off committees.
you got that right!!!
Too many RINOs mixed in with the Patriots. Like the statue in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, the toes of the statue were made of iron mixed with clay.
And the good Rev. West is wrong. Telling people that there is a God we must all answer to and if we do not receive His mercy is not hate speech, it’s love. He has no idea of how difficult, and yet important it was for her to make those remarks.
That is true. The republican has become filled with a bunch of gutless pussies.
If we ever start the Patriot Party, we won’t put up with this crap anymore. Democrat reps will bounced off committees faster than you can blink.
It’s a simple solution. Vote in Republicans who WILL have the balls to kick Dems off their committee seats, even if it means voting out sitting Republicans. Primary them out!! Kill two problems with one stone!!!!
I agree let’s vote those turncoats out of office. I just hope the Republicans have enough sense to primary some people that have more convictions or stronger convictions than the ones we have now that voted against Trump I’m thinking of Adam Kinzinger for certain because I’m from Illinois and he is too we need to absolutely get him out of office
The Republicans by and large are an elitist group of pansies that could not defend an attack by a pack of Cub Scouts. What gives you the idea they could do anything that requires grit as a politician?
The Republications have been acting like whipped puppies for years. My President Trump was a fighter and no Republication understood how he could rock the boat. President Trump was called vulgar and uncouth but he got the job done even if both houses tried to throw him out. One of the reasons Greene was thrown off committees is she filed to have Alla biden impeached. If anyone should be booted of committees is omar and aoc. Also, harris should be impeached for providing funding for the rioters. Alla biden should have been impeached when he was VP with the video showing him using quid pro quo against Burisma. What a bunch of crooks and the hypocrisy abounds.
only if they get rid of the ca minority leader. he is a rino
true to a point, that is why we need to replace the tired old republicans for the young strong conservative ones who believe in term limits and the will of the people not big tech.
Republicans like McCarthy are a bunch of feckless idiots that won’t stand on their own two feet! Waters stood up and told people to get in the faces of conservatives and NOTHING was done! Schitt, Smallwell, Schumer and Pelosi pushed the collusion narrative for 3 years, including telling outright lies, and NOTHING was done! Republicans sometime suck worse than Democrats because they have no cajones!
You are absolutely correct. The GOP has always been very weak especially since Regan left office. Politics is a dirty business made into a “blood sport” by the democRAT communist party. And the gutless / cowardly GOP has no clue or desire to fight back. McCarthy is a pathetic excuse of a politician willing to “eat his own” in order to play nice with the communist hoard across the isle. Conservatives only hope is a new party run by strong conservatives.
How about a flash mob run on Waters’ bank? Main office on Crenshaw near Stocker in Los Angeles. “Family Savings Bank.”
She’s been getting away with her violent racism for years. I had an account with them until they closed the local branch. Pelosi has a bank, too. How many withdrawals would it take to close them and make a statement? Makes more sense than camping out near City Hall.
Unfortunately the republicans have no balls and most are so deep in the swamp they are afraid
Case in point Trump was harassed for four years. No charges against comey, hillary or Finest one for employing a Chinese spy
I wish it were different so continue your slow dance with the Democrats, maybe the will toss you a bone
they will not regret anything. they will do whatever they wish, without consequence. and you will swallow it.
The deplorable republicans turned in to pussys . No balls now that trump left . They get what they deserve for turning into pussys and not standing up to the delusional democrats . They take the job but never do anything with it . That’s why the delusional democrats shit all over them . Just look at how many laws the delusional democrats broke and nothing was done about it. Not by the cops , fbi .Cia , doj or hls . All are pussys for not standing up to them . Now look where we are . We got a idiot sitting in the white house who has the army all around him while he hides in the white house basement . If only one member has any balks to stand up it won’t be this way . If I was 21 again and just getting out of the and in tip top shape like I was , I’d be the biggest thorn in the delusional democrats side . The terrorists would find a different type of person waiting for them . Citys won’t be burned or looted like they are . Young black girls won’t be killed by the delusional democrats slaves for their cause . More then likely I’d be on the most wanted list cause I would stand up to the terrorists just like our forfathers did . Call it what you want but the facts arevstil, the truth . The delusional democrats took over our country by a terrorist cult take over . They try to use the same laws they broke in every way to steal the power . As true Americans we are now lost to the corrupt delusional democrat party for the power to rule . And yal, just sat there and let it happen . Less then half the country help by voting for the terrorists or helped used voters fraud to steal the election . Like I said no one with the balls left . Just pussys
Why has the militery not steped in to th domestic take over as they are sworned in to do
The Deplorable Parasites need to look at their Own LOUD MOUTHS in the House and the Senate. Starting with PELOSI , SCHUMER , SCHIFF , NADLER and By ALL means MAD MAXI PAD WATER’S , SHEILA JACKSON LEE To Name a FEW. They are MOST Buggy Unhuman Beings in Congress and need to be REMOVED and from their COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS. WHAT IS GOOD FOR GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER !
Where is another Tom ‘The Hammer’ Delay? While it has been frustrating to suffer through Swamp Critters like Dennis Hastert, The Weeper Boehner and RINO Ryan, all is not lost. There are MAGA acolytes that are rising through the ranks. Stay strong and remain resolute.
all you jackasses do is talk.
It wasn’t all democRATS, there were 10 or 11 repubs who also voted her off those committees.
After reading these comments which I agree with completely ( I know that will make everyone feel better) I wonder if the new PATRIOT PARTY with DONALD TRUMP as the leader would have more backbone and guts than the present REP. PARTY just wondering GOD BLESS AMERICA
It has all been said and it is all truth. If only the Republican congressmen in congress would read what has been said and realizes what it’s happening. There are a few who see it and need to take some leadership to turn things around. This is not the country so many men and women have died so we could enjoy the freedom we are slowly but surely loosing. We need to reinstate the draft to stop all of our young people who are being brain washed by our educational system. The people in the USA are to busy looking out for their own state and there own interest and therefore keep putting the same do nothing politician back in office looking out for their own interest and padding their own pocketbook, to become millionaires while we take what little they want us to have to keep us happy. When will Americans wake up and realize there is nothing free in this world. Sooner or later you will pay for it one way or another. I don’t care if you are a republican or a democratic. If you don’t start thinking and acting like Americans, we will all lose the freedom we have and our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will never know what it was like to live in a fee country. WAKE UP AM ERICA BEFORE IT IS TO LATE.
If the Republicans had guts they would put the loathsome squad members on the Janitorial Committee but I doubt they will.

I agree with Shorty Herrorrd. Biden’s rapid spending will bankrupt us in 2 years if hes not stopped. The military needs to originate a “friendly coup”, step in and kick out Biden & Harris, void the Nov 3rd election, then reset the country for a new election date. Then the military should set a common standard for all states for for which every voter, with ID’s only at their voting stations, and no ‘Mail-in ballots’ would be allowed.
Then when the newly elected parties are determined, and installed in office, the military can pull out, and hand our democracy back to “WE THE PEOPLE”! Note: If Biden continues his spending and eventually bankrupts us, our currency and economy will collapse. China would love that, then their yuan would become the worlds standard for currancy. We all know Obama’s ‘ Shadow Government’ is behind this, and he has now made his move to take control of this country. Its time we make our move to stop this insanity. The survival of our country is at stake!
