BREAKING: Massive Problem Emerges, Kevin McCarthy Might Not Be Able To Oust Rep. Omar After All

[Maj. Bill Martin]

I believe McCarthy should apportion committee seats the same way the Dems did, and then sit back and watch Omar get bounced from the committee on a 26-24 vote.

He can't. He doesn't have the same power over committee appointments that Pelosi did.  The Freedom Caucus made sure of that.

Nonsense.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Nonsense.

The Rules controlling the House have already been passed.  It would take a majority vote to change the Rules, and the apportionment of committee seats.

He literally can't "just do it" on his own.

So according to those rules, what will be the breakup between Republicans and Democrats on the Education committee?  The current split is 28-22.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

The Freedom Caucus negotiated and voted for him when a deal was made.

The idea that GOP members should go along  with what the majority of the caucus wants in the name of teamwork is gone.  At least for this Congress.

You see kicking Democrats of committees as being different from the Speaker fight  because you're a conservative.  But that's not how the RINO's see it, and there are enough of them stop anything else we may want to do.

That's why undermining caucus unity in the Speaker fight may not have been a good long-term move.

I don't know, but it doesn't matter because a committee alone cannot expel a member.  It would take a majority of the whole House.

So if 5 RINO's vote against removing her, there isn't anything a damn thing that can be done about it.

[Hoodat]

You're not getting it.  Reducing the current Dem majority of 28 down to the minority number 22 requires removing 6 Democrat members and replacing them with 6 Republicans.  Omar can be one of the six.
