Washington — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy pledged to remove three House Democrats from their committees if Republicans gain control of the House and elect him speaker in 2023.
McCarthy told Breitbart News in an interview published Monday that Democrats have set a "new standard" of removing lawmakers from the opposing party from their assigned committee with their decisions to kick Congressman Paul Gosar of Arizona and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, both Republicans, off their panels last year due to violent content posted to social media.
The California Republican said that if the GOP wins a majority of House seats in the November midterm elections and tap him to serve as speaker, Democrats Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff, both off California, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota would be removed from their committees.
