Lawler calls for Roy, Massie to be ‘immediately removed’ from Rules Committee

BY SARAH FORTINSKY - 05/09/24 6:20 PM ET

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) called for Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to be “immediately removed” from their powerful spots on the Rules Committee after they voted with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday to advance her effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Ga.) from his post.

Greene’s effort to force a vote on the motion to vacate Wednesday ultimately failed when Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise (La.) countered with a motion to table her resolution adopted by an overwhelming bipartisan majority, with a vote of 359-43.

Only 11 Republicans, including Roy and Massie, supported Greene’s effort to move forward with the vote.

Lawler now says they should face consequences.
