House Votes to Strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of Her Committee Assignments: The House voted largely along party lines (230 to 199, with only 11 Republicans voting with Democrats), to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her two committee assignments. Greene is a Georgia Republican, who frequently used social media to espouse violence against prominent Democratic politicians - including AOC, Barack Obama, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
It kind of makes you wonder just what kind of workplace would allow such a deranged individual like her, to violently threaten the lives of fellow colleagues, and still get to work there? Well, the answer is - one where only 11 Republicans out of 212 thought her making death threats to colleagues was a problem.
Of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene would never actually attempt to shoot any of her congressional colleagues herself. That would simply be crazy. The idea is - if you use enough inflammatory rhetoric, you’ll inspire some other fanatic to do it. You know, just like Sarah Palin did with Gabby Giffords. Problem solved!
Now, regardless of the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene may be a fascist and a domestic terrorist, we still need to remember that she was elected by the people in the 14th Congressional District of Georgia to represent them, and Republicans like to remind us that - “that’s exactly what freedom is all about.”
Ironically, one of her main committee assignments was to the “Education Committee.” One can only imagine what her "contributions" to education might have been - a target range replaces the school gymnasium, creationism and Bible study replaces teaching science and evolution, and of course, all classes will now begin with the Pledge of Allegiance - to the Confederate Flag of America.
The fact is, it sounds like that without all of her fancy committee appointments, Marjorie Taylor Greene may soon find that she’s basically useless as a congressperson. Of course, judging from her violent and inflammatory history, I suppose the argument could be made that, she's been basically useless - most of her entire life.
