House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Thursday that the two Republicans booted from committees this year, Reps. Paul Gosar (Ariz.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), would get those seats restored if Republicans win the majority in 2022.

“They’ll have committees,” McCarthy said at a press conference in the Capitol. “They may have other committee assignments. They may have better committee assignments.”

McCarthy also reiterated his threat that a future Republican House majority may remove Democrats from committees as retaliation for the votes this year taking punitive action against Gosar and Greene.

The House voted Wednesday to censure Gosar and take away his seats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee as well as the Natural Resources Committee for posting an edited anime video that depicted him killing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and swinging swords at President Biden. Only two Republicans, Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), joined Democrats in supporting the resolution.

The same heinous behavior at any company would have these clowns fired in a heartbeat.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. They are above the law. And flaunting it.

[oldsoftie]

7. Well no shit, Sherlock.

[patphil]

8. Every time I think the Republicans have reached rock bottom, they get out the shovels and dig.

It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so terrifying.

[BlueTsunami2018]

9. Of course he would.

I think they’d remove every Democrat from every committee as well.

[JohnSJ]

10. yup, let everyone know that the repuke party is the party of racism, sexism, and bigotry

[Evolve Dammit]

12. the problem is, the base loves it. All of it. There is no "bottom."

[bluestarone]

13. PROOF of exactly what we are up against

We ALL know these NAZI RETHUGS are FULL BLOWN gonna STEAL EVERY ELECTION this day forward, IF they are not STOPPED NOW!

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Oh Pshaw. There will be plenty of new kooks to choose from by then

Why should Gosar & Greene get committee appointments when Klansmen and Nazis are lined up for republican committees?

[Bayard]

15. "Retaliation"

That word has no place in politics.

[cstanleytech]

out to really be.

[MustLoveBeagles]

[trusty elf]

19. Here's my message to all of them.

[King_Klonopin]

20. When is this BS going to be called-out for what it is. . .

Giving the finger to common decency

Passive-aggressiveness (actually, it's aggressive-aggressiveness)

Pettiness

Spite

I know, as well, that the GOP base just LOVES this juvenile behavior --
they all strive to be the biggest asshole.


p.s. Hey Kevin, if a Democrat ever does what Gosar and Greene have done, then be my guest and
remove him/her from committees. That's the fucking point, you moron. They aren't fit to be public
servants. The truth is, Democrats don't behave like thugs, cretins, or thirteen-year-olds.
