T-Q influenced McCarthy to remove Swalwell, Schiff, Omar from House committees

[Gateman_Wen]

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

And you've fallen for the RWNJ propaganda.

 

[anatta]

Schiff is a bold faced liar in so many ways ( like reading a fake report into the Congressional record)

https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/110281/documents/HHRG-116-JU00-20191204-SD1284.pdf

Nearly two years later, the inspector general's report vindicates the Nunes memo while showing that the Schiff memo
was riddled with lies and false statements.

Swalwell is just a cad sleeping with a Chinese spy, not my pick for the intelligence committee
but I dont think disqualifies ( let me see some proof he was kompromat)

And Omar is just your standard anti-Semite

 

[Bullseye]

Well that's a lie.

You make a great fourth.

 

[noonereal]

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.

There is zero comparison between MTG and Omar.

My God, do people seriously not know the differance between someone with non centrists positions and beliefs and uneducated, fat, hate machines who act immature and spead disinformation?

There is ZERO comparison. ZERO.

He's punishing people for what was done to green and boebert.

That's like saying McConnell was "punishing people" by eliminating the filibuster for Supreme Court justices after Reid eliminated it for all the lower justices. In both cases the Democrats were warned that it wouldn't stop with them, that what goes around comes around, and went ahead anyway.

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.

It's going to be very entertaining.

Well, I wouldn't have thought the McConnell thing was punishment, but since you put it that way, they are really similar, and the GOP is a really vengeful buncha weenies.

No, the Republicans are willing to play by the rules the Democrats choose to impose. If the Democrats don't like those rules being applied to them, then perhaps a mutual reversion to the old rules can be negotiated ... the next time the Democrats take back control.

I haven't noticed a tendency for republicans to follow any rules at all.

Are you sure we're talking about the same people?

Let me know when you want to debate instead of demonize.

Debate what? That republicans don't care about rules, constituents, honesty, or anything else unless it leads to power? I don't think there is any room for debate.

And Omar is just your standard anti-Semite

Who knew that Ms Omar would come back at Mr McCarthy with a very calm and intelligence response, right? Probably would be wise for Mr McCarthy to let this one go.

"Instead of doing anything to address the open hostility towards religious minorities in his party, McCarthy is now lifting up people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Emmer and so many others," she wrote. "If he cared about addressing the rise in hate, he would apologize and make sure others in his party apologized. McCarthy's effort to repeatedly single me out for score and hatred — including threatening to strip me from my committee — does nothing to address the issues our constituents deal with. It does nothing to address inflation, health care or solve the climate crisis."

America is just such a dumbass country lol…

 

[eman623]

It's a purge.

It's payback.

And then she accused him of racism.

“What it does is gin up fear and hate against Somali-Americans and anyone who shares my identity, and further divide us along racial and ethnic lines,”

Omar will need to explain why she was removed because of racism but not Swalwell and Schiff. Or maybe she's just a big fat lying POS.

 

[CaughtInThe]

It's interesting isn't it? The crazier the House is, over the next two years, the more Gen Z (and those voting for the first time) will see.

I pray the QHouse screams about abortion every day. And not allowing student loan forgiveness. And trashing minority groups.

Let the young people sort it out.

 

[sub1028]

Why is McCarthy so afraid of truth?

It's their turn, and the truth works both ways

 

[anatta]

whio started this junk about removing other party memebers from committees? Pelosi

 

[CLAX1911]

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.

Good that's smart Adam Schiff is a habitual liar Eric swalwell gets it on with foreign spies and Omar is an anti-semitic piece of shit.

It's a sad thing if this is the Democrat A team.

Without diving into an extensive research on how many Speakers have done this, here's one that took place 9 years ago.

Five years ago, then-Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, stripped four Republicans of key committee assignments because they disagreed with him on policy grounds and voted against leadership positions.

a party leader removing someone of his own party -sure.. ya i wouldn't waste too much of your time on research
it's just an observation ..more hyper-hyper partisanship all around

 

[PoliSciPulse]

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...

Interesting you blame Republicans just for vengeance and revenge. The fact of the matter is, ever since Clinton (if not Nixon), Republicans and Democrats have been engaged in a retribution cycle. For example, Trump (impeachment #1) was revenge for Clinton's impeachment was revenge for the Watergate investigations. Note that Trump impeachment #2 was, at face value at least, way more legitimate than impeachment #1.

Another example, the nuclear option that gave us a 6-3 (?) conservative majority in SCOTUS was the result for Harry Reid using it.

For a Presidential example, Merrick Garland being AG is revenge for him not being confirmed to the Supreme Court.

I'm not sure how one would stop the cycle of retribution other than to tell the parties to knock it off. But with many politicians having a childlike mind, the response would be HE DID IT FIRST! >.<

Putting the crazies on the freedom caucus on full display will help voters know that the republican party isn’t a safe choice in 2024.

When the Democrats won back the house what did Pelosi do?

I'll wait for your answer.
