Marjorie Taylor Greene Gets Severely Punished By House For Trump Conspiracies, Violent Comments

The House of Representatives on Thursday evening stripped Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., of her committee assignments as punishment for supporting Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories and the executions of prominent Democrats before she was elected to the House.

The House removed Greene from her committee assignments on the Budget panel and the education and Labor Committee in a vote of 230 to 199, with 11 Republican lawmakers voting against the Georgia representative.

The 11 Republicans who voted in favor of Greene’s removal included Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Rep. Chris Jacobs (N.Y.), Rep. John Katko (N.Y.), Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (Fla.). No Democratic lawmakers voted against the resolution that was put forth by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., on Wednesday.

Greene took to Twitter to slam the House’s decision and announced plans to hold a press conference on Friday morning. “It’s not just me they want to cancel. They want to cancel every Republican. Don’t let the mob win,” she wrote in one post.

“I’ll be holding a press conference tomorrow at 11 AM. See you there,” the Georgia representative stated in another.

The voting finished just hours after Greene took to the House floor on Thursday to express regret for some of the theories she has shared and attempt to distance herself from the QAnon conspiracy theories she previously embraced.

During her speech, Greene said that she “stumbled across and became interested” in QAnon theories, which she posted on her Facebook account in 2017. The Georgia representative argued that she had stopped believing in QAnon theories a year later after finding misinformation.

"I was allowed to believe things that weren't true. I would ask questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what I regret,” she said.

However, in July 2020, Greene told a local news reporter that she was “concerned about a deep state” and fueled more QAnon theories.

The Georgia representative also blamed the media for her 2018 and 2019 comments indicating support for the execution of prominent Democratic politicians — including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — and FBI agents.

"If it weren't for the Facebook posts and comments that I liked ... I wouldn't be standing here today and you couldn't point a finger and accuse me of anything wrong," she said.
