What the Republicans would NOT do?
The Majority Whole House DID…..
Her half hearted apology made no difference….
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing intense backlash for indicating support for political violence and pushing wild conspiracy theories and extreme anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic comments before she was elected to Congress.
The House voted Thursday evening to remove Greene from her committee assignments. On Wednesday, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the Republican Conference declined to take action against the freshman Republican for her violent endorsements and incendiary comments.
A CNN KFile review of both newly-uncovered and previously reported comments highlight the fringe nature of what Greene shared on and offline….
…
Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry — and FBI agents in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress.
Greene created a White House petition to impeach Pelosi for “treason” after Pelosi did not vote to fund former President Donald Trump’s border wall in 2019. In newly found posts from 2019, she also wrote a “press release” and a previously unreported blog post promoting the petition and suggested that Pelosi could be executed for treason.
In other newly-uncovered tweets and posts, Greene also liked a call to put Pelosi to death. In one tweet, she said she hoped Pelosi would lose her memory sitting in prison.
Greene, in a statement, did not deny that she liked posts and replied to comments but claimed that many people have run her Facebook page. Greene did not specify whether she or a member of her team were behind the posts reviewed by CNN’s KFile….

I see some of those Republicans that were being patted on the back as showing “courage” in voting to impeach Trump got the message loud and clear:
“Get back in line or else”
See Liz Cheney and Tom Rice.

One reason Trump has been so tough for the party is that, no matter what wing of the party you belonged to, he blatantly conflicts with the party’s pre-Trump positions and brand. So everyone suspects each other of being hypocrite, liars or cynics now. No such issue for Greene!
Former Iowa Cong. Steve King blasted Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy for cutting him loose ,yet backing Greene.
Actually the old bigot has a point.
The Grand ole Party is a hot mess….
Good job Donald!
The idiots STILL can’t think straight…
