House Ejects Marjorie Taylor Greene from Education and Labor Committee

The House voted largely along party lines Thursday to remove Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from her two committee assignments, a precedent-shattering move by Democrats to rebuke a Republican who has espoused extremist beliefs that she publicly renounced in part just hours before the vote.

The vote against Greene reflected deep frustration in the Democratic ranks over the Republican leadership’s reluctance to take its own action to marginalize Greene (R-Georgia), their desire to yoke the entire GOP to her extremism, and their anger over a lack of accountability for the January 6 Capitol riot.
