Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) gave remarks for the first time since the House of Representatives voted to remove her from committee assignments, a decisive step that comes in the wake of recently unearthed incendiary and violent past statements from the congresswoman that have triggered widespread backlash from Democrats and divided congressional Republicans.
The vote tally was 230-199 with 11 Republican House members voting with Democrats to remove Greene from her committee assignments.
House Democrats, who control the chamber, set up the vote after first attempting to pressure Republicans to strip the Georgia Republican of committee assignments on their own. House Republicans did not take that action, however, and House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday released a statement calling the push by Democrats to take away the congresswoman's committee assignments a "partisan power grab."
Greene defended herself ahead of the vote in a speech on the House floor and attempted to distance herself from the dangerous and debunked QAnon conspiracy theory, which she has previously embraced.

Greene represents everything that is wrong with America.
@Reid Earl ok cultist 👍
@Mark Peter look marks peter, bath that would suck hard marks peter, to have the name you have, MARKS PETER. Have you had your peter marked on? Do you make Peter marks on you understand? Dont bring humanity in this. This is about America damn it.
@Darcy O’Kweef Biden did actual work. Guess that’s a surprise to you after seeing the Cheeto just play golf and tweet his presidency away.
That was one term wasn’t it? A huge loss in the Senate, the House, 60+ court cases AND the presidency? What a bunch of winners the republicucks are 😂🤣😂
@Reid Earl <— moron right here. Funny you say that when Trump backed the facists last summer where they chanted “soil and blood”.
If she would’ve apologized from the beginning, this probably would’ve turned out differently. Instead, she had to basically be forced to apologize.
You really belive that?
She still never actually apologized
@Msgt D Oorah those same machines that got republicans voted into office .your boy trump lost the popular vote twice .
I haven’t seen a single apology for any of the atrocious thing she’s said or done. Have you? Am I missing something here?
@Msgt D Oorah have you taken your meds today? 🥴😵
“i have a lot of free time on my hands” that is not something you want to hear from a crazy person
Exactly what everyone is thinking
The devil makes work for idle hands.
If you have see the movie Casino and have concerns about what the House Democrats did, maybe move her down the trough. But Education and Budget? How about ‘conservation and forestry’ and ‘water, oceans and wildlife’.
😂
So doing your job, what you were appointed to do, is all of a sudden a “waste of my time”? Wow
“The tongue kills”, be responsible for you words and actions…because Karma comes around.
I’ve never seen a tounge kill anyone except in a movie.
@seamo9000deBuilder SUPERBEING more dumb i see
**EXACTLY,,, EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE,, WITH THEIR LANGUAGE!!! HATEFUL WORDS AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE DANGEROUS!!! IT’S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE PAID A PRICE,,, FOR THEIR IGNORANT WORDS!!!**
@John Edward kinda like maxine waters, nancy pelosi, kamala harris, joe biden, ilhan omar, and aoc with all their violent rhetoric?
Oooooh yesss.but it is so great when karma comes around & you’re there to see it happen.
She is literally a waste of everyone’s time.
and space and air…give it to someone who is worthy…..
Gooo MAGA… Manipulated American Gullible Aholes… She’s as sorry as Sadam Hussein… Choices do have consequences.
@Upper 90 What the hell are you talking about??? I am not joking–I honestly do not get you. “The media” didn’t SAY the things psycho Marjorie Green said; they just have SHOWN her expressing her lies, conspiracy theories, and anti-democracy bile. If we despise fuckhead Greene, it isn’t because of the damned media. It’s because of GREENE! Stop passing the blame. “The media” is not the reason the GOP has become a circus; the clowns and dancing elephants in the party are the only ones to blame for that.
@Tatey Ambrose but the media does teach you how to hate the other side now don’t they, every time you turn on the news media it’s always hate speech. You’re telling me you can’t see it
@Tatey Ambrose I’m just saying she made a good point, that the media all they do is preach hate speech, she’s right no matter how crazy she is, what’s so hard to understand about that.
Judge Judy to Marjorie: “Beauty fades, dumb is forever.”
@M C You deleted and changed your initial comment completely. You attacked illegal immigrants and called them criminals. Anyway, I have to admit you did a good job in describing Greene ..She encompasses everything you mentioned ..
Joy Simpson well said. I just look at this woman and all my food came right back up to my throat 🤮, seriously 😒
@boss 630 lol!
@Jacqueline Lewis not even a little
So true. Sadly, the Republicans despise people as smart and capable as Judge Judy. They HATE women like her.
All this proves is that she cannot think straight, she’s easily influenced by fake things, and has no critical thinking skills.
Nah just proves she’s racist
Paula P , excellent observation and 100% on point! Sad day for her district in GA. She’s taken a page from her idols play book, however she didn’t realize that she’s new to this “game” in DC!
@seamo9000deBuilder SUPERBEING lol
Q is REAL!!! Why is the Left so Brutal to this young, pretty, defenseless, woman?? She suffered enough bullying from you people!! We need Unity with us Conservatives.
She sounds like she just drank a whole bottle of Chablis!!!
Or maybe Clorox!
Or too much hydrochlorine!
She’s not sorry thats why she said she now has alot of time to talk to people
She’s not sorry for what she said, she’s sorry she got caught.
She was issuing veiled threats!
@Nina Razzo And why would you put someone like this in charge of education committees?
“I don’t have free speech” – batshit becky said at her nationally televised press conference
@Rob Cotton It didnt happened to AOC, Omar and rashida with their inflamatory anti semitic speeches
@The Truth did you know if it happened to ligma?
@The Truth cry more. i love the salty tears.
@Rob Cotton im not American. I dont care. Im sad that the ex leader of the west is now a commie far left country
@The Truth Huh? Ex leader is far left? I don’t think so. He leans waaaay to the right (almost as much as he leans when he stands in his awkward leaning-forward posture).
She talks like a psychopath. Like everything she is saying seems so perfectly insincere. Why are you conveniently sorry now?
Why is her arms shorter than her body mommy?????? Mommy does she put conditioner in her dried out bleached hair???? Mommy, Mommy will the money she raised for the campaign be used to fix her upper teeth. It looks like her chicklet teeth are real fuqed up. Daddy is she tweaking??? She says YESTERRRR-DAY real funny mommy!!!!
MTG is the poster child for needing free health care in our country, including mental health care.
Not to mention abortion. Why do racist believe they are blessed by God.
Can’t fix stupid
@R F Speaking of racism why did the l i b t a r d s tear down statues and burn cities over racism yet vote for the party that invented it ? The DNC spent 140 years out of 193 years in power in Slavery then Jim Crow then oppressed black communities to this day
@M C you are insane too – rothchilds sky laser california fire u know?
Trump, you hear that “SHES SORRY” I GUESS THAT MAKES HER WEAK!
She can try to act cool but she’s actually fuming
Yup. Her husband is gonna have to hear all about it tonight.💅🏾
You’re 100% right, her body language and fake smile tells it.
uughh Ohh EM GEE, she sounds like a 60 year old who talks like a 16yr old ditzy rich girl like omg seriously, its like EL OHH EL
One more face lift or filler and no one will recognize her when she’s spouting insanity anyway.
“And the lie detector determined THAT was a lie.”
She looks like a character from “The wrong turn. “
Its always everyone else’s fault. Its her fault she got kicked off committees
