The Republican Party is against House of Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene for spreading lies and conspiracy theories. Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday called her “a cancerous tumor” for his party.
Mitch McConell lashed out at Greene in a statement for her “crazy lies”. Greene is a member of the United States House of Representatives on behalf of the state of Georgia. She is an avid supporter of former President Trump and insists he won the election.
She also embraces all kinds of bizarre conspiracy theories. For example, she claims that no plane flew into the Pentagon in the attacks of September 11, 2001, that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for the death of former President John F. Kennedy’s son who was killed in a plane crash. Greene also believes that school shootings were pre-staged to curtail the right to gun possession. On social media, she liked posts calling for the murder of Nancy Pelosi, Democratic leader of the House of Representatives.
“Someone who makes statements like this is not living in reality,” McConnell told Political Magazine The Hill. “This has nothing to do with the difficulties of American families or substantive debates that could reinforce our party,” McConnell said.
The Democrats, in part because of her support for the storming of Congress, want to expel Greene from all House committees if the Republican leadership doesn’t.
But Greene doesn’t seem ready to back down: “The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country,” she posted on Twitter. Greene claims she has support from Trump, saying she spoke to him by phone on Saturday. She assured that she will “never apologize” for her comments and actions.
The United States Constitution allows a member of the House of Representatives to be expelled from Congress by colleagues. That would require a two-thirds majority in the House. The removal of a Congressman from office has only occurred five times in total. The two most recent cases were in 1980 and 2002 related to corruption convictions.
