It’s good to vote on expelling her but it won’t pass. The only solution to getting her out of Congress is arrest her if she did anything illegal regarding the Capitol insurrection or attempt to primary her with a more sane Republican.

I have little sympathy (and favor long prison terms) for enemies of the United States, both foreign and domestic.

Survivors of Parkland and parents of slain children should be invited to testify and have her sit there. I think some parents would do it.

............Greene is also facing criticism for a video of her confronting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg before she was elected to Congress went viral Wednesday. And last week, other students who survived the Parkland, Florida, school shooting and families of the victims are calling for Greene's resignation, after comments surfaced that showed her agreeing with people who said the 2018 shooting was a "false flag" operation, remarks Pelosi called special attention to Thursday. The California Democrat also criticized Greene's placement on the House Committee on Education and Labor.


"Assigning her to the Education Committee when she has mocked the killing of little children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, when she has mocked the killing of teenagers in high school at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school -- what could they be thinking?" Pelosi asked Thursday. "Or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing? It's absolutely appalling, and I think the focus has to be on the Republican leadership of this House of Representatives for the disregard they have for the death of those children."
