Not surprised.  Conservatives be damned and punished!

In bipartisan vote, U.S. House strips Rep. Greene of committee assignments

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday evening to remove Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments. It was a step into uncharted waters for Democrats who felt they needed to send a message about Congresswoman Greene's rhetoric from before and after she took office on January 3.

House Democrats held the vote after they failed to persuade Republicans to take Greene off committees. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy released a statement Wednesday calling the push by Democrats to take away the congresswoman's committee assignments a "partisan power grab."

The move by House Democrats removes Greene from the House Education and Labor Committee and the Budget Committee. The final vote was bipartisan and saw eleven Republicans in the House vote with the Democrats to strip Greene of her committee assignments. Still, the vote is not without risks for Democrats. It now sets a precedent for the future.

Historically, it's been a members own party who removes them from committees, as the GOP did a couple of years ago to then-Representative Steve King of Iowa. With the precedent now in place, opposing parties could target specific members for removal in the future...........

We'll soon see every conservative gone.  RINO's will stick around for awhile for the show.

One thing I'll say about the Rats, they stick together..

The Repubs are soooo stupid  it's unbelievable.

Lawmakers passed the resolution largely along party lines — 230-199 — to remove Greene from the House Education and Budget committees after Republicans declined to take action against her themselves.

Eleven Republicans crossed the aisle in a rare rebuke of a colleague from their own party: Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Carlos Giménez (Fla.), Chris Jacobs (N.Y.), John Katko (N.Y.), Young Kim (Calif.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Nicole Malliotakis (N.Y.), Maria Elvira Salazar (Fla.), Chris Smith (N.J.) and Fred Upton (Mich.).

Agreed.  Complete idiots.  Yet they keep Cheney!

I haven't heard anymore on the 'secretive meeting' to oust Hawley and Cruz.
