Kevin McCarthy must go 'Pelosi' on the House's growing ranks of RINOS
By Monica Showalter
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy barely won his leadership post as House Speaker, based on fears from the GOP faithful that he would go soft on Democrats.
He won after a lot of dickering, with, among others the House Freedom Caucus, and since then has been a pleasant surprise, booting two odious Democrats, Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from the House intelligence committee for assorted miscreances along with a healthy dollop of payback for their outrageous bootings of Republicans from House committees when they had the majority. Better still, he defended his move with lion-like ferocity to the pair's enraged media allies.
Good job, Kev.
But there are said to be problems with the booting of the third Democrat member of the House who needs booting, Rep. Ilhan Omar, who sits on the House foreign affairs committee. That booting, unlike that of the other two, must be done by a majority of House members. And there is a growing contingency of GOP representatives who are now supporting her presence on the committee, claiming they don't want to play games with their Democrat "colleagues" so no political retaliation is necessary.

There needs to be a lot more of what parliamentary systems call party discipline.
