Kevin McCarthy Weighs Removing Marjorie Taylor Greene from Education Committee After Bipartisan Condemnation

HeadlineFeb 03, 2021

Politico is reporting House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is leaning toward removing far-right Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Education Committee after meeting with her Tuesday. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned her “loony lies and conspiracy theories” Monday, while House Democrats introduced a resolution to strip her of her committee assignments over her history of violent threats and racist, anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic comments. She has called for the killing of Nancy Pelosi and President Obama and has questioned in the past whether the mass shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and Parkland high school were in fact false flag operations.
