New Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene received the Steve King treatment this week. In an unprecedented move, Democrats in the House of Representatives overrode her fellow Republicans to strip her of her committee assignments, allegedly because of old social media posts [
Politico, February 4, 2021]. But she’s defiant. “I’m fine with being kicked off my committees because I’d be wasting my time,” she told the Regime Media in a Friday morning press conference, pointing out that the Democrats are exercising tyrannical control of the House anyway. Her powerful performance confirms her as a leader of the Trump base which is the real target of the Democrats’ increasingly blatant totalitarianism.

The current posture of some congressional Republicans, including House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy and Sen. Lindsey Graham, reflects a clear belief that the party needs former President Donald Trump to be successful going forward.
McCarthy and Graham have leaned in on Trump’s popularity and suggested that his participation will be necessary to deliver a solid midterm performance. My hunch is that a Trump-centric strategy would have some chance of success in the House, where (a few exceptions aside) the races are confined to districts rather than being statewide. That would allow Republicans to play more safely to a specific proclivity among a district s voters, such as support for Trump.
