Marjorie Taylor Greene Removed from House Ed Committee



On February 04, 2021, the House of Representatives voted 230-199 to remove Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments (Education and Labor, and Budget).

Eleven Republicans joined 219 Democrats in supporting Greene’s committee removal:

  • Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)
  • Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)
  • John Katko (R-NY)
  • Fred Upton (R-MI)
  • Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
  • Carlos Gimenez (R-FL)
  • Chris Jacobs (R-NY)
  • Young Kim (R-CA)
  • Maria Salazar (R-FL)
  • Chris Smith (R-NJ)
  • Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL)

Greene has proclaimed the shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (Parkland, FL) and Sandy Hook Elementary School (Newtown, CT) staged events (more on that here) and has called Parkland survivior, David Hogg, an “idiot” who is “trained like a dog” to advocate for gun control. In January 2020, Greene posted this Youtube video of herself badgering Hogg, who was in Washington, DC, to speak to Congress about gun control:
