Democrats in the house took the step of removing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Republican, Georgia) from her two committee assignments. The vote was 230-199 with 11 Republicans joining with all Democrats to oust Greene from the Committee on Education and Labor and the House Budget Committee. House Republicans appointed Greene to both panels last month after she was sworn in last month.
Democrats said they were “forced to take action” to uphold the standards of decency in Congress because Republicans refused to penalize Greene for her remarks she made in the past.
“This resolution sets a dangerous new standard that will only deepen divisions within this House,” said GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (Republican – California).
Typically, party leadership decides the committee slots for their own members. McCarthy, however, declined to take action against Greene, saying she has denounced QAnon and would abide by a higher standard as a member of Congress.
Greene also defended herself in a speech Thursday saying she regretted her past statements on QAnon conspiracy theories. She said “These were words of the past, and these things do not represent me. They do not represent my district, and they do not represent my values.”
