McCarthy says Republicans will boot Schiff from Intel panel

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Friday said Republicans would boot House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) from the committee altogether if they attain the majority in the midterm elections.

At his press conference Friday, McCarthy accused Schiff of politicizing the committee, said he didn't warn the public about Ukraine or Afghanistan and alleged he lied about intelligence regarding President Biden's son Hunter Biden.

"Why is he still chair of the committee and why is he still even on the committee? In a new Congress, if it's a new majority, he will not be," McCarthy said.

"You cannot make this committee political, you cannot use it as a position of chairman to lie, and you should be focused on what the American people want you to be focused on around the world," he added.

Oh fuck off McCarthy. Like the GOP never politicizes anything. The Republicans are threatened by intelligence hence why they're known as the "stupid party".

6. It's amazing that with all that's happening in Ukraine,

with all the disinformation, lies and Orwellian projection coming out of Russia, and how the whole world sees that, that these Republican assholes don't take a moment to look in the mirror. They just keep doubling down.

8. not only are they incapable of self-reflection

they are STILL whining about Hunter Biden.....the same people who didn't want to hold Trump responsible for trying to EXTORT from Ukraine

9. McCarthy is a mediocre man and he knows it.

He is an insecure weakling and says things to make himself feel tough and important. It’s all fake. Deep down every phony knows they’re a fraud.

11. Some issues: Arbitrary/retaliatory firing?

14. He won't be 'fired'. He will continue to be a member of congress, be able to vote on all full House

votes, and get his full congressional pay. Basically just like what Speaker Pelosi did to MTG.

13. Republicans can veto Democrats from committee memberships?

Uhhhh...really? I don't think so...

And fuck you, Kevin, you useless piece of shit. Try acting like a patriotic American for once in your worthless life.

[kelly1mm]

15. Yes. Just like Speaker Pelosi did to MTG. nt

16. Pelosi did not remove MTG from committee assignments

A majority in the House -- including Republicans -- voted to remove her because of her calls for violence against others and for just being a general degenerate asshole.

And if a Republican House majority actually voted to remove Schiff from his Intelligence committee assignment, I'd expect Schiff might become a daily network news interviewee discussing in accurate and excruciating detail Republican fuckwittery and incompetence.

17. OK, Sure. When The R's are in power then a 'majority' of the house can remove Shiff as well. NT

18. I also expect Representatives AOC, Talib and Omar to get the 'MTG' treatment as well after the R's

take over in 2013.
