Tuesday, 02 February 2021_Democrats controlling the US House of Representative have given their GOP colleagues 72 hours to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments or they will bring the issue to the House floor.
House minority leader Kevin McCarthy received the ultimatum from House majority leader Steny Hoyer Monday.
“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene must be held accountable for her reprehensible statements, and I am discussing with members the best course of action to do so,” Hoyer said through a spokesperson.
A Trump loyalist, Greene is also notorious for promoting conspiracy theories that that the deadliest mass shootings in the United States were staged.
“We’re focused on making sure that we can render powerless the poisonous nature of this member,” Wasserman Schultz told reporters Monday, just before introducing her measure. “The House has to be able to take actions to police its own membership.”
Greene has been awarded seats on the House Education and Labor Committee and the House Budget Committee.
