Two votes on Thursday involved the future roles of two GOP House members – and neither result is pleasing conservative observers.
In one case, a former Texas political leader finds it shameful that House Republicans overwhelmingly rejected a call to punish a high-ranking member of their own party for her disloyalty to President Donald Trump. By a secret ballot vote of 145-61, Republicans defeated an effort by staunch conservatives in the party to remove Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) from her number-three leadership position in the wake of her vote last month to impeach President Trump.

218-210: House approves RULE for the resolution removing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committee assignments (Budget, Education and Labor) on a party line vote. pic.twitter.com/bwSgjNnbMg Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) February 4, 2021
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) actually took to the House floor to claim she hasn t believed in QAnon since 2018 (a bald-faced lie) and assert that BREAKING NEWS 9/11 actually happened.
She also conflated Q with the media.
Now, the idiot is about to bounce her off her committees. The Democrats are not being timid this time.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-California) referred to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) as a member of the “Q” political party after House Republicans failed to take any action against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).
Pelosi released the statement following news that the Republican caucus would not remove Greene, a supporter of QAnon, from the House Budget and Education panels. Greene has been criticized for espousing anti-Semitism and conspiracies, including claims that several school shootings were staged, a prominent Jewish family was responsible for a laser in space starting wildfires, and prominent Democrats had engaged in Satanic rituals involving children.
