Republicans privately gave conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene a standing ovation in a caucus

House Republicans gathered to discuss both Greene and Rep. Liz Cheney, a top Republican under fire for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump last month. House Democrats will hold a floor vote on Thursday to strip Greene of her two committee assignments amid escalating backlash over her promotion of a slew of conspiracy theories and her endorsement of political violence.

During Wednesday evening's meeting, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy reportedly explained why he wouldn't remove Greene from either committee, and Greene addressed some of the outlandish statements she's made.

Greene has long trafficked in conspiracy theories, including QAnon. The freshman congresswoman has also promoted conspiracy theories claiming that mass school shootings were "false flag" operations and orchestrated by gun law advocates. And new reporting has also exposed her calls to execute Democratic politicians, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Republicans also debated on Wednesday whether to remove Cheney from leadership after she blamed Trump for the Capitol insurrection and called his actions the greatest ever "betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."

Ironically, MTG gets a standing ovation while Liz Cheney is close to getting the boot from Republican leadership.

1. The Insurrection Caucus.

Pretty well represented in our Federal government.

[Irish_Dem]

3. Right, half the GOP supports the insurrection.

Attacking their own congress to prevent a lawful election. To keep Trump as the president.

[Gore1FL]

2. This sort of thing is making the Democrat's strategy of focusing on GOP/Q ties easier. nt

9. GQP equals Grand Q Party. Greedy Qooky People. . . . nt

[Sapient Donkey]

4. Okay, the republican party is too far gone. I can't believe we're still going to be dealing with

this crazy stuff even with Trump gone. We can't even have serious political discussions these days, because it devolves into some weird nonsense.

5. Demonstration chant: HEY HEY HO HO ALL THE reTHUGS GOTTA GO!

Repeat as needed.

6. Why should we consider unifying with them

when they aren't unified among themselves?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. We wait for simple statement "Biden is President. He won an accurate count. The Steal was a lie.".nt

10. And

Each and every one has to stand in front of Congress and, via cameras, the entire world and say it. And, after they do, each and every one has to apologize to the American people for supporting such sedition. Any one of them who does not should be stripped of their responsibilities and made into a 'lame duck' congressperson who will be voted out as soon as the time comes. Every. Single. One.

11. I wish that was so, but I am not holding my breath. Greene is being swamped with donations.

[OldBaldy1701E]

13. I know

Is there anything more amazing? Anything more frightening? One has to wonder just how insane the more radical rethugs have to be to be supporting her in anything.

12. Ironically, MTG gets a standing ovation...

Thus is why I am always skeptical of posts that declare the imminent demise of the GOP. I don't believe that the GOP is going anywhere. It is just going to continue to morph into something more awful than it is today. It wasn't too long ago that we were ripping Cheney for one thing or another but now she looks relatively sane next to MTG. This is how I think things are going to continue to go. God only knows what horrors are to come after Greene.
