Republicans Threaten Revenge On Democrats If They Regain Majority In Congress
Rep. Jim Banks
Republicans are outraged that Democrats are governing by majority rule in the House. In retaliation, they are vowing to do the same things they now decry as unprecedented and wrong. Never in the history of our country has a Speaker acted like such an authoritarian, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tweeted on Thursday.
He was upset that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had rejected his request to appoint Republican Reps. Jim Banks (IN) and Jim Jordan (OH) to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Both men voted to overturn the 2020 election results and pushed the lie that President Joe Biden only won because the election was stolen.
House Freedom Caucus Mounts Doomed Bid To Remove Pelosi
The far-right wing of the House Republican caucus is demanding the party immediately mount a quixotic bid to remove Nancy Pelosi from her position as Speaker of the House. They claim the California Democrat is too authoritarian.
In a letter dated July 23, the House Freedom Caucus asked Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the House Republican Conference to bring up a privileged motion by July 31, 2021 to vacate the chair and end Nancy Pelosi s authoritarian reign as Speaker of the House. They ask McCarthy (R-CA) to obtain authorization from the party conference to force a vote on a resolution to remove Pelosi.
