California Representative Jimmy Gomez reportedly plans to introduce a resolution to expel freshman lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress. Gomez is pushing the resolution claiming Greene has previously supported calls for political violence and advocated for “extremism and sedition.” The resolution requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
Fox News reports:
“As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that the September 11 attacks were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama,” Gomez, D-Calif., said.
He added: “Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.”
“Democrats and their spokesmen in the Fake News Media will stop at nothing to defeat conservative Republicans,” Greene, R-Ga., said in response to the Gomez’s announcement.
Greene was first known during her run for Congress as a supporter of the online conspiracy theory QAnon, which she later distanced herself from in an interview with Fox News in August.
