Kevin McCarthy Offers Dark Assurance About Marjorie Taylor Greene's Future

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said this week that far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who is currently banned from the chamber’s committees, will serve on committees if Republicans gain a majority advantage in Tuesday’s election.

That, of course, also depends on prohibitive favorite Greene winning reelection over Democrat Marcus Flowers.

Greene was removed from committee assignments in 2021 for spreading conspiracy theories and liking a Facebook post that called for the execution of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). CNN’s Melanie Zanona noted Greene’s history of inflammatory remarks and election denial. McCarthy appeared unfazed.

“She’s going to have committees to serve on, just like every other member and every other member goes through a steering committee looking at the best places to serve,” said McCarthy, who is a heavy favorite in his bid for reelection Tuesday.

Fortunately the GOP House (I'm assuming they're taking the House at this point) will do nothing more than waste time on investigations that go nowhere. They're not going to pass any legislation, it will just be 24/7 pandering to the Fox News crowd.

My bet is that we get a lot of these seats back in 2024.
