Pelosi issues scathing statement over McCarthy's
handling of extremist member
Nancy
Pelosi has just released a scathing statement about minority leader Kevin
McCarthy’s refusal to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee
assignments over her racist, anti-Semitic and fringe beliefs.
The
Democratic speaker’s press release identifies the Republican leader’s party and
state affiliation as “Q-CA,” rather than “R-CA”.
“After
several conversations and literally running away from reporters, Minority
Leader Kevin McCarthy (Q-CA) made clear that he is refusing to take action
against conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Pelosi said in the
statement.
“As a
result, the House will continue with a vote to strip Greene of her seat on the
esteemed House Committee on Education & Labor and House Committee on
Budget. McCarthy’s failure to lead his party effectively hands the keys over to
Greene – an anti-Semite, QAnon adherent and 9/11 Truther.”
Pelosi
noted that several Republicans, including No 2. Senate Republican John Thune,
have outlined the need to denounce Greene’s racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric.
Quoting
Thune, Pelosi said, “McCarthy has chosen to make House Republicans ‘the party
of conspiracy theories and QAnon’ and Rep. Greene is in the driver’s seat.”
