I get his hardon for Ms Omar that has some validity for doing it but the other two that he plans to dump is pure apple polishing for his T-Party's blessings.

McCarthy said Swalwell's association with a Chinese spy, Schiff’s promotion of the Steele dossier and Omar’s criticism of Israel disqualify them from serving on their respective panels.

"You have Adam Schiff, who lied to the American public time and again – we will not allow him to be on the Intel Committee either," he continued.

 

Why is McCarthy so afraid of truth?
 
McCarthy is going to sell the GOP down the river in 2024 all in his desire to have that gavel. Does he not understand that all factions from the far right to moderates to the left have zero respect for him? All for different reasons but nonetheless..no respect. How does one live with that and consider it a success?
 
Paging Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham………..
 
I think Omar is the MTG of the Democratic Party and would happily endorse her being booted from committees.

I don’t understand the other two. Those sound like a simple good old fashioned revenge play.

McCarthy's all exists only in one person and that person has given McCarthy two thumbs up for being House Speaker. Love runs deep in McCarthy's heart for you know who.


Former President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House should Republicans retake the chamber, as expected, after Tuesday’s midterm elections.
 
Great news for the country!

Thanks!

That lady was obnoxious and those two gentlemen were publicity seekers.

One gentleman's relationship with a lady from another country has never been clarified; the other gentleman will reportedly be busy anyway planning his campaign to eventually replace an elderly lady Senator from California.

I wish, however, that the presumed next Speaker had not mentioned those three individuals' names. There was no need to do so.

It would have been more classy to simply announce (after he does become Speaker) only the names of the new committee members.
 

McCarthy set to bounce Democrats Schiff, Omar and Swalwell from House committees

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he will follow through with his pledge to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota off the House Foreign Affairs Committee in the new Congress.

Not exactly a surprise, McCarthy said this would be the result when Democrats started booting Republicans from committee assignments. Though there is a major difference, the Republicans' booting was universal--they were tossed off of all their committees--whereas the Democrats' booting will be particular, a single committee each--Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Schiff and Swalwell from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

That's the current Republicans.. Vengeance, revenge, culture wars and tax cuts for the rich..

None of it benefits the average American.. But it works for them.. Even if it means their base is cutting their own throats...

Independents seemed to turn away from the right in a lot of cases this election. This should encourage even more to do the same.

No, it was a smart play--the targeted response draws attention to the reasons why they are being booted (beyond payback, of course). It makes McCarthy look reasonable and points to the bigots, f'-ups, and partisan hacks on the Democrat side of the aisle. That won't matter much to the hardcore Democrats, but to the nominal Democrats and Independents? And when Democrats complain, McCarthy can point to both the Democratic precedent of only a few years ago and his own self-restraint in its application.
 
He's punishing people for what was done to green and boebert.

And if you think this is nuts, just wait. Kevin has no spine, he's going to bend into a pretzel trying to sway to both extremes of his party.
