Democrats in the United States House of Representatives are moving forward with a vote on Thursday to strip Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments.
Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on Wednesday said Greene’s actions on social media, which included a suggestion Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be executed, were unacceptable.
“She came to Congress with extraordinarily hostile rhetoric and hostile actions,” Hoyer told reporters.
“Her actions in the Congress have been consistent and she has placed many members in fear for their welfare.”
Democrats have called for Greene’s removal from Congress amid heightened tensions following a deadly riot at the US Capitol on January 6 by supporters of former US President Donald Trump, who has since been impeached in the House for his role in inciting the insurrection.
