bill should 'absolutely' lose their committee assignmentsFormer Trump fluffer Mark Meadows said on Tuesday that 13 House Republicans who backed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure legislation should be removed from their committee assignments, arguing that they went against the wishes of conservative voters.
Meadows, during an interview on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast, went after what he saw as recalcitrant behavior on the part of GOP members who defied House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California.
"They will continue to get money, and they will continue to hold their leadership positions as ranking members on committees and subcommittee," he said. "That should be taken away."
When Bannon asked Meadows if he wanted to "strip" the 13 members of their committee assignments, the former White House official said that it should "absolutely" happen.
"These people voted for Joe Biden, for an infrastructure bill that will clear the way for more socialist spending that will, quite frankly, gives Joe Biden a win," he said. "I don't know how you can send a clearer message than saying, 'Listen, obviously you're not on our team. We're going to give that leadership position to somebody else.'"
