Georgia’s newly elected Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA).
The House is scheduled to vote Thursday (Feb. 4) on whether to strip Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her membership in two committees. A senior Democrat said the newly elected congresswoman should be stripped of her House committee membership because of her public online support for “conspiracy theories” and other comments she has made.
On January 21, Greene announced on Twitter that she had filed papers with Congress to impeach new President Biden.
House Democratic Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in a statement Wednesday (Feb. 3), “I spoke with (House Republican Leader) Kevin McCarthy this morning and it is clear that there is no choice but to vote in Congress to remove Greene from the committee. There is no choice but to vote in the Legislature to remove Green from the committee.”
The proposal, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, calls for Green to be removed from the House Education and Labor committee and the House Budget committee for the remainder of the current session. The House Budget committee.
Hoyer told reporters at the Capitol in Washington that McCarthy “made a decision, and we’re going to move forward.”
Hoyer said, “I don’t know exactly what he’s going to do.”
Spokespeople for McCarthy’s and Green’s offices did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.
Greene said on Feb. 3 that the Democratic Party is running a “Mob cancel campaign” and said the mainstream media has refused to report her rebuttal.
She wrote, “Their goal is to destroy Republicans, your jobs, our economy, your children’s education and lives, steal our freedoms and erase what God created.”
This week, several Republican leaders took aim at Green, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). They accused her of promoting “wild lies and conspiracy theories” and said it was a “cancer” on the Republican Party.
McConnell said, “The suggestion that no plane may have hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that the horrific school shooting was staged, and that the Clintons directed the crash of JFK Jr.’s plane …… are not true.” “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families and the intense debate on substantive issues that can strengthen our party.”
But Green said the “real cancer” is McConnell and the “weak Republicans who only know how to lose elections gracefully. She added: “That’s why we’re losing our country.”
On Jan. 30, Green said she had the support of former President Donald Trump (R-Texas). Meanwhile, several House Republicans, including prominent lawmakers such as Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Republican Rep. Andy Biggs of Ohio, have expressed support for Green.
In a series of Twitter tweets, Greene wrote, “I spoke with my favorite of all presidents, President Trump, on the phone!” “I am so grateful for his support and more importantly, the people of this country are absolutely 100% loyal to him because he is 100% loyal to the people and ‘America First’.”
In a letter this past weekend, she wrote, “I will not budge. I will never apologize. I will always fight for the people. For me, it should be America First!!!” “America’s last policy is a policy against sellouts and losers.”
