Under New Democrat Standards, AOC Should Be Stripped Of Committee Assignments
February 4, 2021 By Tristan Justice
The Democrats’ House Rules Committee advanced a resolution Wednesday to expel Georgia freshman Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments for the apparent crime of making crazy comments.
More than 61 members endorsed the extreme measure, effectively undermining the electoral integrity of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District while emboldening the conspiracy-leaning congresswoman by reinforcing the convictions of her supporters that she’s the only person they can trust to fight the establishment forces failing them at every turn.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland said a full chamber vote on the resolution would come tomorrow over Republican objections to the precedent such expulsion would set, reprimanding a member of Congress for comments made before an election.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, who met with Greene this week over the QAnon follower’s past comments peddling 9/11 conspiracies while promoting claims the Parkland High School shooting was a hoax, still condemned the resolution Wednesday.
