Because of offensive tweets posted by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., before she won office, House Democrats joined by 11 Republicans voted to strip her of her committee assignments.
If this is the new standard, can we apply this to the Rev. Al Sharpton, aka a Democratic kingmaker, whose support was solicited by every major 2020 Democratic presidential candidate?
About Sharpton s power and stature, The Atlantic, in 2019, said: The 2020 Democrats courting of Sharpton is well under way. He says he expects his endorsement to make a difference when he makes it. . Sharpton occupies a distinct space. Other than Barack Obama, there is no better-known Black leader in the country, nor one with bigger reach: The National Action Network has 100 chapters across America, and Sharpton himself hosts a radio show on 70 stations every weekday and a TV show on MSNBC on Saturdays and Sundays.
