QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threw a temper tantrum again this week because the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill haven’t been punished, and dared suggest that New York isn’t part of our country’s national security.
The 13 House Republicans have been receiving death threats from conservatives for putting the needs of the nation first instead of engaging in petty partisan politics like Greene has been doing since taking office in January. Greene has previously attacked the lawmakers by calling them “traitors.”
Now Greene is throwing a hissy fit because the group is not being punished for their votes, as reported by CNN reporter Melanie Zanona on Twitter.
NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene just ripped into Kevin McCarthy for failing to punish the 13 House R’s who backed the bipartisan infrastructure bill, saying the defections and lack of consequences are a sign of “weak” leadership.
“It’s a complete failure,” she told reporters.

MTG also said the episode is hurting McCarthy’s chances for speaker & she needs to see changes before supporting him.
“I’m going to be laying things on the table that I want to see changed over time, and then we’ll see what happens and see if anyone else is running,” she said.

Then Greene demanded the lawmakers be removed from their committee assignments, including Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.), because she doesn’t think New York lawmakers are qualified to make national security decisions.
Greene wants all 13 infra Rs booted from committees, but singled out 2 frontliners: Nicole Malliotakis, a member of the whip team, and John Katko, ranker on Homeland.
“What’s a guy up in New York have to do with Homeland Security? Shouldn’t it be someone down along the border?”

As everyone should know, the Department of Homeland Security was created in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. New York is also the nation’s financial center. That absolutely makes it an essential part of our national security worthy of representation on the committee.
Greene herself does not serve on any committees because the House voted to bar her from them due to her calls for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to be executed.
If anything, Greene should be the one who is punished for her behavior. She not only should be expelled from Congress but she should also be prosecuted for inciting violence and helping to plan the Capitol insurrection.
