The House should have expelled QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) because she’s continuing to make a nuisance of herself to the point that even Republicans are joining the Democrats to shut her down.
For the third time in a week, Greene moved to adjourn the House in a scheme to delay or prevent votes from being taken on several key pieces of legislation, including those pertaining to election and police reform.
It’s only been weeks since Green was removed from her committee assignments over her offensive and outrageous statements and behavior. Clearly, however, she’s not standing down in her quest to be the most annoying and obstructionist member of the House.
For some reason, any member of the House can request an adjournment whenever they want, thus forcing the entire House to waste time on a pointless vote that will end with a majority vote to deny the request.
On Wednesday, Greene made yet another such motion.
House NOW voting to adjourn for the day, requested by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over her opposition to the House taking up the Democrats’ election and police reform bills this week.

Then she attacked Democrats and accused them of pursuing a “radical” agenda.
Green (R-GA) before requesting for House to adjourn:”I rise today to inform Democrats the radical path you’re taking will cause you to lose in 2022.” Also says the $1.9T COVID-19 relief bill is “shameful” and “the Democrats’ hate police bill that puts police on Biden’s hit list.” pic.twitter.com/WwdzLwuQfn

Democrats want accountability in policing, and they want elections to be free and fair for everyone. There’s nothing “radical” about that at all. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing voter suppression laws designed to keep themselves in power and supported the Capitol insurrection that resulted in a police officer being murdered and several more being brutally assaulted by Trump supporters.
Fed up with her antics, 18 House Republicans joined Democrats to shoot down her motion to adjourn.

This is why Democrats should have pushed to expel Greene. She’s not there to work for her constituents. She’s only there to draw attention to herself by being the most obnoxious and toxic member. It’s time to end the madness and kick her out. She’s not worthy of being a member of Congress.
