The fact remains that the voters in her district elected her. She's trash but voters can elect trash if they decide to. That is how we got the blob...the voters elected trashThey get to pick whomever they want to represent them. Its their decision.Stripping them until they even get to a committee? She was voted in for a reason. You do this and if the GOP captures the House in two years, people like Swallowswell will be on the street too. VERY BAD idea but cancel culture party Democrats or the DCCP...is well on its way to silencing those they disagree with.That is precisely what it is as the plan from cancel culture Democrats is to keep her away from any and all committees.The problem is her constituents voted her in so she has authority. Ilhan Omar is an overt antisemite and awful human being but she has every right to sit in Congress since she was VOTED in!Bad precedent to penalize Greene.
Sent to my congressman:
I fear penalizing congresswoman Greene for anything done or said prior to being accepted as a member of the House would set a bad precedent. I urge you and your fellow members of congress to consider her activity only after having joined the congress. Respectfully, Supposn
I tend to agree. Not because I support what she said or did...it's all bat-shit crazy stuff as are her supporters. But, what happens is that whenever a majority uses it's authority in some new way, the moment the other major party gets that authority, they ratchet it upward. Pelosi will be kicked off every committee in 2022 if the GOP gets the house? The reason? Spite.
Just let her sit there and ask her questions for 5 minutes during the meetings. If she tries to co-sponsor a bill that you introduce...you tell the secretary that you don't want her name on your bill. Just marginalize her. She will probably serve 80 years in the House or whatever... big deal.
Its not a problem... Both MTG and Omar and Gromert or whatever that jerk's name is have every right to be there. The Dems are making a mistake by taking this action. Pass a resolution condemning her...sure. But just ignore her otherwise.
The argument isn't that they shouldn't be there.
Which doesn't stop her from being there. Stripping people from their committee assignments isn't all that uncommon. It' doesn't happen a lot but it does happen.She was removed for a reason as well.Stripping them until they even get to a committee? She was voted in for a reason.
I wouldn't want the other 434 members deciding on how effective my representative can be and we shouldn't be doing it to her district.
And, if you were to look deep enough into all of these people's past, you'd probably find some pretty kookie views and statements that make you go "WTF?" How many believe in extra terrestrials? I imagine a few do. How many have questions about why we couldn't find these planes on 9/11? I imagine some do--I hope they don't think that there were bombs in buildings or anything like that but I think questioning why we couldn't locate planes in our airspace is a valid concern...what if they were Russian bombers? Serious question.
Anyway...MTG should resign as a matter of honor. She has none. She's garbage. But she is duly elected garbage. Leave her alone...just let her serve her term. Don't work with her; if she tries to co-sponsor any bill you introduce...have the house secretary remove her name. It's. Just freeze her out. She'll get 5 minutes to ask her questions in a committee meeting and thats that.Normally I would agree. Within the context of the events of 1/6 and her behavior since, it can’t be ignored. Much as Trump will stand trial in the Senate for his role in inciting those who believe as Greene does, Greene is now answering for hers.They get to pick whomever they want to represent them. Its their decision.

There is no simply overlooking shit like this. Not post 1/6.

She is still lol representing her district.The fact remains that the voters in her district elected her. She's trash but voters can elect trash if they decide to.

Its a large weapon that will backfire.... The prize? Marginalizing a freshman representative who has zero power, is a kook, and her own party hates.
Enjoy your trophy.
The threatened the lives of three House Representatives throughout her campaign. Republicans are too frightened of their own voters to get her out of there. And she's still packing a gun!
Thats true. I think the police should be involved. That would be the appropriate response.
She's an abhorrent human being...like Trump was. Like a lot of members of congress are. When the majority begins expanding it's power to prevent people from doing their job...that is too far in my book.
