Rep. Kevin McCarthy Says These Noteworthy House Democrats Won't Be On Committees

Talk about being petty because Reps. Schiff and Swalwell were Impeachment Managers prosecuting the crimes of one Donald Trump. Rep. Omar told the TRUTH about Israel and breaking settlement agreements between them and the Palestinians.

McCarthy’s comments come less than a week after House Republicans nominated him to be speaker in a closed-door session.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he’ll keep his word and won’t allow three Democrats on House committees if he serves as speaker next year.

McCarthy told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.) would be stripped of their committee posts if he becomes House speaker in January.

McCarthy’s comments come less than a week after House Republicans nominated him as speaker in a closed-door session as the party — despite the lack of a “red wave” in the midterm elections — is set to hold a majority of the seats in the House of Representatives during the next Congress.

Earlier this year, McCarthy called for the removal of the three Democrats from committees in a promise that Swalwell said was “purely for retaliation purposes” following House votes to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) from committees in recent years.

The California Republican said on Sunday that he’ll deliver on his promise before criticizing the group of Democrats.

1. Hey, Kevy...

From the way things stand now, you'll have no say in the matter. Even your own party doesn't want you as Speaker.

2. I get the feeling McCarthy's reign as Speaker won't be a long one.

It'll be rocky and tumultuous with scant if any significant legislation, as he's no Nancy Pelosi.

5. Boehner and Ryan he isn't....

McCarthy can’t organize a two car parade!

[Freethinker65]

3. Could Democrats come out and explain how they could do same in Senate,but instead prefer to actually

To actually do their jobs and govern?

[gratuitous]

4. Greene and Gosar were disciplined for gross misbehavior

So McCarthy is targeting Democrats in retaliation because he's a pissy little boy and Democrats won't match the antics of Greene and Gosar so he can have an actual reason.

Yeah, that's some kind of leadership right there.

6. The same reasoning is why they will probably impeach President Biden 3 times -

to be able to say he was impeached more times than President Trump. Further destroying what should be the norms of government for strictly 'gotcha' points.

7. get

the hook and pull him off the stage!!!!

[maxsolomon]

8. Really, he's removing Schiff?

Under what grounds? Because he's too competent?

[Genki Hikari]

9. So if Warnock wins

Then ban Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Tommy Tuberville from any committees they're on.

See who runs out of people to kick off committees first.

10. If Swalwell and Schiff are removed from their committees

it just means they'll have more air time to constantly excoriate McCarthy and the Republicans.

Be careful what you wish for, Kev.

11. This.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Exactly. There will be nothing Kevin can do about it.

Already Adam Schiff has pointed out that cowardly Kevin will do whatever Marjie tells him to do.

12. Did Nancy do this?? I don't remember.
