The way some republicans are still crawling to Trump and his rabid cult is spineless and disturbing. Also how can anyone support that dangerous nutter Marjorie Taylor Greene ? It is mind boggling how she can still be employed after her dangerous views have been fully exposed.

House panel votes to kick Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene off committees for ‘truly sick’ promotion of violence

A key House panel voted Wednesday to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of all her committee assignments in a blistering rebuke of her calls for violence against fellow members of Congress and embrace of a cacophony of far-right conspiracy theories.

The vote in the House Rules Committee advanced a resolution to remove the controversial Georgia Republican from her posts on the chamber’s education and budget committees and also ban her from getting any other appointments. The vote — which fell entirely along party lines — sends the resolution to the full House, where it is expected to get final approval Thursday.

Ahead of the vote, House Rules Chairman Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said he had never before held a similar hearing because “we have never had a member like this.”

“She has encouraged violence against members of this institution, going so far as agreeing with a comment that advocated for putting a bullet in the head of the speaker of the House,” McGovern said. “This is truly sick stuff. Congresswoman Greene has also promoted truly appalling things from implying that 9/11 is a hoax to saying school shootings were false flag operations and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including one about a Jewish space laser being the cause of wildfires in California. I mean, this is unbelievable.”

Though they opposed the resolution, all four Republicans on the committee sought to distance themselves from Greene.

Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, the panel’s top Republican, called Greene’s promotion of various crackpot conspiracy theories “deeply offensive,” “vile” and “repugnant,” but argued against the resolution on process grounds.

“This hearing is premature,” Cole said, reasoning that the matter should first have been adjudicated by the House Ethics Committee to avoid setting a new precedent for reprimanding members.

But the committee’s Democrats countered they were forced to take this route because House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) rebuffed calls to rescind Greene’s committee assignments through an intra-party process.

If the resolution sets a new precedent for removing members, McGovern added that’s okay with him.

“If the precedent’s going to be that if somebody advocates for putting a bullet in the head of a member ... if that is going to be the new determination as to what it takes to throw people off of committees, I’m fine with that,” he said. “If this is not the bottom, I don’t know what the hell is.”

The push to punish Greene comes in response to a flurry of the congresswoman’s past statements on social media resurfacing in recent days.

Before being elected in November, Greene used her Facebook and Twitter accounts to call for the executions of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), former President Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats she claimed were part of the “deep state.”

It has also been discovered that the first-term congresswoman harassed survivors of a 2018 school shooting in Florida and falsely claimed they faked the massacre as part of a Democratic plot to implement stricter gun laws. Adding to the deranged web, Greene has pushed baseless claims about 9/11 being an “inside job” and peddled anti-Semitic theories about wealthy Jews using “space lasers” to set forest fires in California.

Many of Greene’s unsettling claims are inspired by the QAnon conspiracy theory, which she has a history of promoting.

Elected on a hard-right political platform and endorsed by former President Donald Trump, Greene has refused to apologize for her wild conspiracy mongering.

“Today’s the day I could be removed from committees,” she wrote in an email to supporters Wednesday asking for “emergency” campaign donations. “Why? Because I stood up for President Trump, I stand for America First ... and I speak the truth.”

Greene’s lack of contrition has some Democrats saying that the committee resolution is not enough.

“Removing her from her committees is the first step, but by no means should it be the last. As long as she serves in this legislative body, her hateful rhetoric and misconduct will only continue to grow and put others in danger. MTG must be expelled,” tweeted California Rep. Jimmy Gomez, who has introduced a resolution to remove Greene from Congress that has gained support among dozens of Democrats.

Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in Congress, has not said if she’d consider the resolution to expel Greene.

But the speaker harshly condemned McCarthy on Wednesday for his “cowardly refusal” to punish Greene on his own and noted that plenty of Republicans have broken with him.

“As No. 2 Senate Republican John Thune warned Tuesday, McCarthy has chosen to make House Republicans ‘the party of conspiracy theories and QAnon’ and Rep. Greene is in the driver’s seat,” Pelosi said.

Infuriating that so many Republicans support this dangerous nut job. More republicans voted in favour of keeping her on committees then in support of Liz Cheney  keeping her leadership role because she voted to impeach Trump.  Only 11 republicans had the courage to vote against her. Despite all the dreadful things she has said and done. The GOP is now owned by the Trump cult and QAnon nut jobs. The GOP might as well now call themselves QGOP

We ALL know what she is but only continues (and will get worse) long as the $ is there. More than just 'grassroots', small donors. Many far right bat shit cra dark/shadowy money 'Libertarian' gazillionares are puppeteering all this. (not conservative'). THEY are truly the 'radical' ones. Fascist playbook. All projection, lies (big and small) non stop, victimhood, loud & off the rails in exhausting loops etc..US def in 1920s Germany now. Biden seems/feels like a faux & temporary 'normal/calm'. Q gonna prob squash the remaining 'sane/moderate classic GOP (like Cheney & Kizinger) in '22. Qop will be the new US Nazi party and make the 'Tea Party' look moderate. 

Mercer family, DeVos, Peter Thiel, Murdoch, Bannon and his cohorts ALL enabling & totally FOR (insisting) on it + many names and well known corporations we'll likely never know green lighting it. Citizens United is the root cause of this. Can keep pumping sick amounts of money to these ghouls but stay low key, anonymous. But use these dumb af, dangerous. kook puppets like MTG etc..to say/do what these sinister donors want!

Happening now too w/ local state legislators! Possibly more dangerous. They're tootally gearing up to STEAL an upcoming election (where the people do NOT decide). If the 130+ or whatever would've been 'instructed' to vote against her and against the shit show vote to NOT certify Biden as the winner wouldn't have happened (along w/ Jan 6). BIG dark money keeping these skkkunks breathing & trolling (Gym Jordan, Matt Geatz, Nunes etc..) or you deflate overnight.

She is so dumb. She got kicked off from all the comitees. If she wanted to have any influence on legislation contentwise and therefore politics, she needed to be in there. Now she can bascially vote yay or nay to pass legislation. She is a lame duck. She can't do anything for her voters. Nothing. She has no influence whatsoever. No matter how loud she is. All her ramblings are basically a deflection from the fact that her very own behaviour caused this situation. If she was a manager at a company she would be fired.

THIS.

It's a 21st century American autocratic/fascist movement. Plain as day.
