Marjorie Taylor Greene is under fire for comments she made before entering Congress. The House Democrats want to tie her and her comments to the Republican Party and are causing the usual chaos. They are voting to remove her committee assignments.
Leader Kevin McCarthy released a statement on Marjorie Taylor Greene:
“Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference. I condemn those comments unequivocally. I condemned them in the past. I continue to condemn them today. This House condemned QAnon last Congress and continues to do so today.
“I made this clear to Marjorie when we met. I also made clear that as a member of Congress we have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard than how she presented herself as a private citizen. Her past comments now have much greater meaning. Marjorie recognized this in our conversation. I hold her to her word, as well as her actions going forward.
“I understand that Marjorie’s comments have caused deep wounds to many and as a result, I offered Majority Leader Hoyer a path to lower the temperature and address these concerns. Instead of coming together to do that, the Democrats are choosing to raise the temperature by taking the unprecedented step to further their partisan power grab regarding the committee assignments of the other party.
“While Democrats pursue a resolution on Congresswoman Greene, they continue to do nothing about Democrats serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee who have spread anti-Semitic tropes, Democrats on the House Intelligence and Homeland Security Committee compromised by Chinese spies, or the Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee who advocated for violence against public servants.
“In the end, this resolution continues to distract Congress, especially given the limited time that Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat leadership want the House to debate and work, on what it needs to focus on: getting Americans back to work, getting kids back to school, and providing vaccines to all Americans who need it.”

McCarthy is just a mouthpiece for the Mitch RINO gang and the big leftist donors.
When he blamed Trump for an imagined “insurrection”, he permanently lost all credibility.
The deep wounds in the party and nation are caused by he and his kind, since they chose to stand against decency, the law, and the voters.
The First Amendment is about protecting speech that is offensive because eventually they’ll get around to censoring or condemning any and all thoughts outside the official hivemind narrative.
America used to be the place where people could believe whatever they wanted as long as it wasn’t hurting anyone.
A much stronger populace with a backbone and thick skin existed in those days before the social media sewer pipe came online.
