I’ve previously stated that MTG’s comments are unacceptable, & today I voted to remove her from her committee assignments. These are also members I’ve consistently said should be removed from committee assignments for their irresponsible, inflammatory speech:

When Ilhan Omar continuously made anti-Semitic comments about Israel, Nancy Pelosi swept it under the rug and suggested that they “move forward.” Why wasn’t she removed from her role on a committee that helps set US policy toward Israel?
Why was it excusable for Rep. Maxine Waters to falsely accuse the U.S. government of deliberately trying to poison inner cities with drugs in the 1980s? Or to incite violence against Trump’s cabinet members? https://bit.ly/3tvdkj4
We can’t forget former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only repeatedly engaged in Holocaust denial on social media but also accused the Bush Administration of plotting 9/11.
If MTG is being removed from her committee positions for her past inappropriate comments, then these members should've received the same treatment. I'll continue to demand that Democratic leadership & the press stop the double standard & hold these members equally accountable.
