Marjorie Taylor Greene Mocked Over New Committee Seat: 'We're Not Safe'

Story by Andrew Stanton • 1h ago

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's appointment to the House Committee on Homeland Security sparked backlash from her critics on Tuesday.

Greene, a Georgia Republican, was selected to serve on the committee responsible for legislation surrounding U.S. national security and the oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.

A spot on this committee could be a particularly coveted position as Greene and other conservatives move to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of immigration.

Her appointment proved to be controversial on Tuesday, with many Democrats suggesting her past remarks surrounding the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack and her stance on the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot should disqualify her from serving on the committee.

   And there you have it Ladies and Gentlemen.  Not only on the powerful Rules Committee, The Homeland Security Committee, no wonder she voted for McCarthy 15 times.  I do Love it.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans have reinstated far-right Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., on committees again after Democrats stripped them of that privilege in 2021, according to multiple GOP sources.

The GOP Steering Committee, which doles out committee gavels and seats, voted to give both Greene and Gosar spots on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, which is planning to launch numerous investigations into President Joe Biden and his administration.

Gosar also secured a second assignment on the Natural Resources Committee. Democrats had booted him off both of those panels in the last Congress.

Greene also won a seat on the Homeland Security Committee, which Republicans will use to focus on border security and investigate Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Last week, a House Republican from Texas filed articles of impeachment against the Cabinet member.

Both Greene and Gosar are allies of former President Donald Trump and members of the House Freedom Caucus.

If you don't have a say, you can  only snipe from the sidelines. If she uses it right, she has some power to do things now that she did not have. Time will tell.

The people voted.  Democracy at work.  Suck on that, alleged "Defenders of Democracy".

Gosar also secured a second assignment on the Natural Resources Committee. Democrats had booted him off both of those panels in the last Congress.

Gosar will be interesting on Natural Resources.  Mining is a passion of his.
