WASHINGTON Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene faces a critical vote Thursday.
Members of the House will decide if she should be removed from committee assignments for contributing to the spread of conspiracy theories and supporting violence against high-ranking democrats.
There was no resolution on capitol hill Wednesday.
The Democrat-controlled House Rules Committee weighed removing Greene from two committees – the House Budget and House Education and Labor. Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed from her committee assignments in light of conduct she has exhibited, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) said during the hearing.
A full house vote will come Thursday.
Trump team quickly rejects testimony request, blasts unconstitutional trial
Former President Trump will not testify in his Senate impeachment trial, Fox News has learned. The president will not testify in an unconstitutional proceeding, Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News Thursday.
The former president s legal team fired back at impeachment manager Jamie Raskin s request Thursday for the former president to testify as part of the Senate impeachment trial, calling it a public relations stunt and saying they cannot prove the allegations against him.
The comments came after House impeachment managers requested that Trump provide testimony under oath either before or during the Senate impeachment trial about his conduct on Jan. 6, the day of the Capitol riot.

Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo had made it no secret that he suffered from what he called “COVID brain,” a condition he said affects some of his mental processes (an alleged lingering symptom of his coronavirus affliction). This “COVID brain” must have been acting up real bad Thursday as he viciously lashed out Republicans, accusing them of voting to become the “GOP-Q” party, and asserting that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) experienced something akin to an IED explosion in Iraq.
“
Turns out the GOP is pro-diversity after all,” he sneered at the top of his show, pushing the lie that Republicans were racist. “
Several recent precedents offer House Republicans a clear roadmap on how not to deal with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene:
Under no circumstances should the Republican minority leader appear on glossy magazine covers celebrating the ascendancy of the radicals in the party as Nancy Pelosi did with The Squad. That s an easy one. Don t mainstream them.
Republicans should never elevate anyone who believes that Jews are imbued with the power to hypnotize the world and/or armed with massive lasers though, as a Jew, I believe both could be quite useful to the House Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats did with Ilhan Omar. This is something you might see in an idiocracy, not in the world s greatest deliberative body.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been booted from her committee assignments, but Newsy found questionable posts from other GOP members.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now removed from her committee assignments after pushing conspiracy theories like the mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school was a false flag; a plane didn t hit the Pentagon on 9/11; and Jewish space lasers were responsible for the California wildfires. She apologized for the comments ahead of the vote, but it was too little, too late.
Newsy found she is not the only Republican set to serve on the House Education Committee with a history of sharing controversial, sometimes dangerous views.
