Michigan Democrats vote to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees
Washington — House Democrats voted Thursday to punish Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia for past inflammatory remarks by stripping her of her committee assignments.
Lawmakers voted 230-199 on a rare resolution to remove one of their own — freshman Greene — from her seats on the House Committee on Education and Labor and the Budget Committee, citing the “conduct she has exhibited."
Eleven Republicans joined Democrats in voting yes, including Rep. Fred Upton of St. Joseph.
Greene spoke on the House floor Thursday and distanced herself from some of her past statements but did not apologize. "I walked away from those things," she said.
