Democrats seek to expel Republican Greene from committees

Congressional Democrats on Monday moved to strip freshman Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of committee assignments over incendiary comments including denying school shootings took place and expressing support for violence, Reuters reports.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz introduced a resolution to remove Greene from her seats on the education and budget committees of the House of Representatives. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Democrats would vote on the measure if Republicans do not take action themselves to hold her accountable.
