House Democrats File Resolution to Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from Her Committee Assignments
WASHINGTON — A group of House Democrats introduced a resolution Monday to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from her two committee assignments as a consequence of her inflammatory and false statements.
The resolution, sponsored by Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Ted Deutch, both of Florida, and Jahana Hayes of Connecticut would remove Greene from the House Education & Labor Committee and the House Budget Committee.
The Rules Committee said it would consider the resolution on Wednesday afternoon, the first step in getting it to a vote on the floor.
Greene, a freshman congresswoman, came under scrutiny last week over past remarks, including ones suggesting that school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and Parkland, Florida, were staged, as well as her claim that the 2018 California wildfires were started by “Jewish space lasers.”
