”The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency has in the past and will continue to ensure a voice of unity”

That is, once we’re done firing everyone.

She should sue

WT*? Is there any situation that she said anything offensive on those platforms, or is just using them enough?

The Democrats just removed Green from Georgia from all committee assignments.
A partisan vote, not sure if that’s been done before
I wonder if they’ll come to regret it sooner than later

Actually 2 RINOs voted for it, so now it’s bipartisan

Interesting.

I would assume that all of them would vote 'no' on a direct question, "should Dems be allowed to remove a R member." I also think that a lot more members, possibly a majority, of Rs would've voted to remove her in a purely R vote.

The Republicans had the option to remove her without even putting it to a vote, but Kevin McCarthy is a doofus

+1.

Kevin McCarthy should've put it up for a vote last night.

I don’t think the way for the republicans to start winning again, is to fold to the Democrats. That’s not gonna work

This shouldn’t have a Democratic agenda. Plenty of Republicans see it as a primarily Republican problem.

The problem is the attitude that Republicans should oppose anything a democrat brings up or else it’s ‘folding’.

Well not sure what planet your on, but the 2 parties are pretty far apart these days so it’s kinda hard to find places where republicans should agree with Dems, but for sure sidelining Green shouldn’t be one of them

Is there a single person here who actually believes that a caucus that couldn't even get a clear condemnation of Ilhan Omar is kicking out Green because they are so offended by her conspiracy theories?

Plenty of Republicans disagree with you, starting with Mitch McConnell. Greene is beyond the pale

I happen to be all for a 60/40 caucus. But I don’t think the Democrats would be willing to give in a drop anywhere. Anything there’re gonna do now is all partisan.... and far left. So I don’t think any republican should cross the aisles for basically anything right now

For those joining the conversation now, here’s a picture Greene posted of herself carrying a machine gun with 3 Democrats titled ‘Defeat The Democrats’.

That was my point. You’re calling for partisanship by saying Republicans shouldn’t support a single thing Democrats support, and then complaining the democrats are partisan. It’s actually hilarious.

First things first. Any politician is only out to save themselves and any republican trying to move away from Trump is doing it because they think it’s beneficial.
Second, I heard a few min of her speaking (I think it was today) and she was very good. And you prob won’t here this wherever you get your news  from, she apologized and explained everything

No she did not (though whoever told you only 2 ‘Rinos’ supported to bill to remove her may have lied to you about that too)
