McCarthy condemned Greene’s comments but made no commitment to punishing her for them.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declined Wednesday to commit to any sort of punishment for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene over her history of incendiary comments. Instead, he blasted Democrats for « choosing to raise the temperature » by moving towards kicking her off her committee assignments. McCarthy said in a statement that he’s met with Greene over her « past statements » and said he holds her to her words and actions going forward, but made no comments to indicate he or the steering committee will look to move Greene from her committee assignments. The House Rules Committee voted to advance a resolution to strip Greene of her committees Wednesday, paving the way for a final vote in the full House on Thursday. « I understand that Marjorie’s comments have caused deep wounds to many and as a result, I offered Majority Leader Hoyer a path to lower the temperature and address these concerns, » McCarthy said.
