when they had the majority. Its a little worrisome. I can see them doing just that out of spite if they ever get back the majority

I don't recall this ever happening before... A given party always had the sense of shame to not let thing go this far and took care of their own miscreants. I hope it's a simply majority and she is gone dragging the repugs even lower then they are now.

Democrats need to tie Trumpism, QAnon, and the lunatic fringe to the new Republican Party, where conspiracy theories reign and reality takes a back seat. Having a nut like Greene as a public face for the party can only be good for us.

I haven't seen polls to this effect, but I would think most Americans think Marge is a lunatic and would support her being stripped of committee assignments.

...but put me in the no column. Lord knows I can’t stand this woman and everything she represents, but I think it sets bad precedence. Let their own caucus deal with her. If it’s just a slap on the wrist, and she keeps her committee assignments so be it. That’ll give her plenty of rope to hang herself.

I just don’t think it’s our place.

It means she she can spend her full time using her public pulpit to spew Qanon crap while keeping her $174,000 salary.

Do we expect this to work? Or is this just a way to tar others by having them proclaim their support for her?

Given her evident ignorance and pugnacity, I think she'll dig a deeper whole pretty quickly.

As badly as I want to see her dragged out, kicking and screaming - which is admittedly not far from her usual demeanour - and I do...I'd way prefer that the GOP do it.

She's their mess, and there is no way to forecast the blowback.

and go against Ilhan Omar, and they plan on removing Dems from committees if they get in power again.
