House Republicans aims remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from committees instead of Marjorie Taylor Greene

Source: Business Insider

While House Democrats prepare to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees, some GOP lawmakers have fired back, suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar be removed from her panels instead.

Democrats unveiled a measure this week to drop Greene from the House Education and Labor Committee and House Budget Committee over concerns she amplifies conspiracy theories and has endorsed political violence, according to recent reports on her past social media activity.

However, Texas Rep. Brian Babin on Tuesday proposed an amendment to the resolution that would replace Greene's name with Omar's, Forbes reported.

"If the Democrat Majority wants to go down this road, they should start by dealing with their own members who have been at this before and AFTER their election to Congress," Babin tweeted on Tuesday.

He hasn't the votes or a proper rationale; he's simply bloviating.

Everything's big in Texas, especially egos.

Let's see some charges and evidence. If there is none then he should be removed too.

More wars and power struggles from the republicans. The fight is so much more important to them than getting anything done like having a functional government!

Maybe we should pass a bill to remove him too, along with the rest of those who voted against accepting the EC votes.

....it was out of order.

They voted a few minutes ago to send it to the floor of the house. There's a 2-hour debate tomorrow before the floor vote, which should be interesting.

I get why they are offering blowback--although I don't agree--but they are making her the face of the party with Trump numbers down 20 points in the last 6 weeks. They are slitting their own throats and doubling down on the razor blades.

31. They can attempt to amend the resolution
Wed Feb 3, 2021, 07:48 PM
Feb 2021

but (depending on how they work the Rules), someone can call for a motion to table it, and if seconded, the motion would get a voice vote, where the (Democratic Acting) Speaker would then note that the "ayes" have it, which would then lead a GOP loon to object and request a full (electronic) vote, and if that is successful (in agreement with the voice vote), the amendment would then be tabled and dead.

It's because she's a menace to decorum and society at large.

Republicans' tit for tat seeks to remove someone because she doesn't like pollution and is too far left for their liking.
Unlike Greene, AOC really is green.
