Election Deniers Marjorie Taylor Greene & Paul Gosar to Join House Oversight Committee

HeadlineJan 18, 2023

House Republicans have placed far-right election deniers Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar on the powerful House Oversight and Accountability Committee. This comes two years after Democrats removed them from their committee posts for calling for violence against Democrats on social media. Greene, who once claimed there was an “Islamic invasion into our government offices,” will also serve on the Homeland Security Committee. Gosar will also rejoin the Natural Resources Committee. In 2021, the House censured him for posting an animated video on social media where he murders Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacks President Biden. A number of other members of the far-right Freedom Caucus also received prominent committee posts.
