House Democrats are coming for Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene again.
After voting to strip her of committee assignments for actions and statements they didn’t like, she’s heard that they now want some of her House floor privileges repealed.
“Oh, they hate me, the Democrats,” she told Secrets.
“I’ve even caught wind that they’re talking about making it to where only people on committees can make motions to adjourn on the House floor,” she added.
Rhode Island Democratic Rep. David N. Cicilline confirmed that he is considering such a move, prompting Greene to tell us, “When I heard that, I said, ‘You mean Mussolini,’” a reference to former Italian dictator and National Fascist Party leader Benito Mussolini.
That effort came after she forced a vote on adjournment just before the House took up President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus spending bill. It was not going to pass, but she wanted lawmakers on record, especially Republicans, and she also wanted to slow down the process.
And she plans to force floor votes on other bills, drawing the ire of Democrats. “Oh yeah, I’m going to do it. I’m going to use anything I possibly can to work against what the Democrats are doing,” she said. “Why would I want to serve in Congress if I’m not using every tool I can to stop what they’re doing to our country?”
