None of these Democrats deserve to have their committee assignments stripped - it's not as if THEY attacked the U.S.

Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and Ilhan Omar are far better public servants than Kevin McCarthy's GOP terrorist cabal.

Kevin McCarthy doesn’t have an agenda for governing. He plans to use the House to get even with the enemies of Trump.

McCarthy told Breitbart:

The Democrats have created a new thing where they’re picking and choosing who can be on committees. Never in the history [of Congress] have you had the majority tell the minority who can be on committee. But this new standard which these Democrats have voted for—if Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the private sector, there is no reason why he should be given one to be on Intel or Homeland Security. He will not be serving there.

…..

Ilhan Omar should not be serving on Foreign Affairs. This is a new level of what the Democrats have done.

….

You look at Adam Schiff—he should not be serving on Intel when he has openly, knowingly now used a fake dossier, lied to the American public in the process, and doesn’t have any ill will [and] says he wants to continue to do it.

Eric Swalwell is suing Donald Trump for the 1/6 attack. Adam Schiff led the investigation into the Ukraine scandal and was the manager of Trump’s first impeachment trial. Ilhan Omar has been a fierce critic of Trump’s immigration policy, foreign policy, and the racism within the Republican Party.

None of these Democrats have done anything to lose their committee assignments. Unlike Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, and other House Republicans, they have not used their office to spread racism and threats of violence. None of the Democrats were involved in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

3. I don't think McCarthy can "strip" any Member not in his caucus of an assignment.

Committee assignments are handed out by the caucus leader.

Otherwise, the entire House has to vote on it - he may be able to bring those to a floor vote, but I suspect it won't go as well as he'd like. GOP Members might get a bit nervous about throwing that one around.

I could be wrong, though... not up on House rules anymore.

doubtfully,

He won't have the votes. The moderates despise him. MTG will "primary" him because he is weak. TFG will support her.
