The vote to remove Greene from her committee roles came after a weeks-long uproar over social media posts that either encouraged political violence, endorsed conspiracy theories or espoused viewpoints that were racist, anti-Semitic or transphobic.https://bit.ly/2YS28i1
QAnon supporters believe Donald Trump was fighting a globalist ring of cannibalistic pedophiles that includes Democrats and Hollywood celebrities. Greene shared many of QAnon’s theories before her election but said ahead of the vote that she now knows the conspiracy is not true.
Greene spread many of the conspiracy theories in 2018 and 2019, before her election to Congress. More recently, however, she joined Trump in falsely claiming the results of the 2020 election were invalid and said she would never back down or apologize for her past actions.
The House took the unprecedented step of removing Greene from her committees after they could not reach an agreement with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about how to address her behavior, which also included harassing survivors of school shootings.https://bit.ly/2YS28i1
“You would think that the Republican leadership in the Congress would have some sense of responsibility to this institution,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. McCarthy said Greene’s removal would “only deepen divisions in this House.”https://bit.ly/2YS28i1
Senate Republicans have been far more forceful than their House counterparts in their denouncement of Greene.
They face reelection in statewide races that are typically more competitive than many highly partisan House districts.
