Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Is Stripped of House Committee Posts.<br />The vote to remove Representative Greene <br />from her committee assignments was 230 to 199. <br />Ten Republicans voted with Democrats.<br />Greene was censured due to racist and <br />xenophobic comments, her connections with <br />right-wing conspiracy theory organization QAnon .<br />and her endorsement of calls to <br />execute prominent Democratic House members, <br />including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.<br />The first-term GA representative had been <br />assigned to the House Education and Labor committee, <br />as well as the Budget committee.<br />It is the first time in the House's modern history <br />that the majority party exercised its power to strip <br />a minority member of their assignments.<br />The move effectively contains Rep. Greene <br />from exerting influence on House legislation.<br />Greene spoke in her own defense <br />before the vote but did not offer<br />an apology for her actions.<br />I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true and I would ask questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what I regret, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, (R-GA), <br />via 'The New York Times'.<br />Republican House members referred to <br />the vote as "dangerous for this institution.”
