"Rep. Brad Schneider tells Haaretz why he’s drafting a House resolution to censure GOP Rep. Greene after she compared COVID restrictions to Nazi actions during the Holocaust, including making Jews ‘wear a gold star’
....
Rep. Brad Schneider announced earlier this week that he is drafting a resolution to censure the Georgia congresswoman over her remarks. This is a very rare procedure in which the House votes to express formal disapproval of a lawmaker’s conduct; the move has only been undertaken 23 times in U.S. history, most recently in 2010.

Schneider tells Haaretz that while Greene’s rhetoric has been repeatedly hateful, bigoted and antisemitic, her latest “disrespectful and reprehensible” comparisons mark a new, unacceptable low that dishonors the House and the memory of those murdered in the Shoah.
....
The Democratic congressman from Illinois is particularly offended by her inability to admit wrongdoing. “It’s not that she’s saying ‘I misspoke, let me correct the record.’ She doubles down and says it again, and says it the third time,” he notes. “She is now not only dishonoring the memory of those murdered in the Holocaust and perverting history, she’s dishonoring the House, and that’s why we need to sanction her.”...(more)

1. I hope they

get on her case badly, she now is saying she did not do anything wrong.

Arrogance and Ignorance at its highest. What a slimy thing MTG is.

2. Never admit you are wrong

They learned that lesson from The Former Guy.

6. That and keep the bulldozer rolling

And don't let laws get in your way.

They're out to destroy us.

3. I hope the House follows through on this, with at least some Republican support.

It's long overdue.
She's the epitome of everything wrong with Republican politics.

4. I'm sure that only the most obtuse, or deliberately obtuse, Republicans are failing to recognize it.

5. Good

I hope that the House, passes. She detracts from the mission of the House, by her behavior and statements. In my opinion ,she unfit for her job.

7. She'll Wear It As A Badge of Honor

Sorry, she's just there to trigger reactions in her (and Republicans) perceived enemies.

Any private work place would have probably taken some sort of action or fired these malcontents by now. But not Congress. Bad personal behavior is rewarded by more press and hand wringing.

8. She is a vile person.

If I didn't know better, I would swear she was Donald Trump's long-lost twin sister. They are two of the most repulsive people on the planet.

9. Hey smirkymonkey

she is bringing in big money I heard on Randi Rhodes podcast. She spews BS and is making money off it. That's why McCarthy has not said crap to her. It's all about the money.

[smirkymonkey]

10. Yeah, and that's the scary part.

That there are so many people who are inspired and motivated by her. It's just so wrong. I mean why can't anyone in the republican party grow a conscience and realize that there are some things that are more important than money?

This woman is like Trump, and many other republicans. She is a metastasizing cancer on the face of the nation and as long as we give her a platform, we risk the chances of another Jan 6th. Her hate speech is a clear and present danger.

I just want all these horrible people to go away. It was such a relief to get rid of Trump, but now all these Trump clones have sprung up in his place and it feels like we will never get rid of them.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. Hope you are doing well, bdamomma!

11. Doing well

smirkymonkey, it's right in our faces. Propaganda works. There are many dumbass people in the US.
