House Votes to Strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of Committee Posts

The House has adopted a resolution to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from her two committee posts over her past comments and actions.

A Thursday vote on the Democratic-backed resolution was 230-199 largely on party lines. Three lawmakers did not vote. Eleven Republicans joined Democrats in voting “yes” to remove Greene from the committees.

Greene had been assigned to the House Budget Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee.

Republican leadership in the House had opposed the vote, saying it could set a dangerous precedent for punishing lawmakers over comments made before taking office. But Democrats said the action was necessary, alleging a failure in Republican leadership after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy did not move to remove Greene from her committee posts, even though he had on Wednesday denounced her past comments.
