Good evening and welcome to politicsnation. Tonights lead, a nation divided, struggling to stand. Today marks one month since an angry insurrectionist mob stormed the u. S. Capitol. The broken glass and busted doors is been repaired. The political fractures remain. A few republicans voted to revogs the Committee Assignments of georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, a freshman lawmaker who has traffics in the same Conspiracy Theories and racist tropes that drove the january 6th rioters. Greene has shown support for executing Speaker Nancy Pelosi and has behaved so towards her coworkers that one asked to have her office moved away from greene. When given the chance to deal with greene privately ended up giving her a standing ovation.
