McCarthy plans to make good on his threat to kick Democrats off House panels The new Speaker will prevent Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from serving on the Intelligence Committee and Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee Comes as pay back for Democrats kicking Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar off their panel assignments in the 117th Congress Freshman Rep. George Santos, who is under criminal investigation, will also get committee assignments
Kevin McCarthy will make good on Republican threats to kick Democratic Representatives Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee, as well as blocking Ilhan Omar from serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
The move is likely payback for former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stripping GOP Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from their committee assignments during the 117th Congress.
Republicans warned that Democrats would regret down the road deciding to dictate who serves on what committees. If operating under usual precedent, Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would offer their names to the respective committees and McCarthy would approve.
Speaker McCarthy, however, told Punchbowl News that he's already made the case against all three far-left representatives earning spots on these high-profile committees.

Ohmar and her allies to scream “that’s wasthist!!” in 3....2.....1
The party is over for these nasty DemonRats. Schiff was the worst. He lied his assz off about Russian collusion.... Supposedly Schiff will be running for Senate in California.
Benedict Biden’s theft of classified Federal documents is a very SERIOUS CRIME, because unlike with Trump, the VP does NOT have the power to declassify, only the POTUS! He should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED!
dirtbag Ratskin should be booted from whatever committee he’s on.
Schiff will no doubt be warmly welcomed in the Senate by McConnell.
Good!!!!
First of all, these are the worst of the democrats. The hard partisans. Not just that they were powerful democrats, but they are the least trustworthy types of them all.
Second, this is exactly what they would do.
Why is it always implied that republicans should play nice?
Third, these positions BELONG to republicans, and not just any republicans. Individuals who will make some serious things happen
But, but, but...according to dozens of Freepers here, Republicans caved and crumbled in electing McCarthy as SOTH. And that Trump no longer has any influence.
they will still hold their shadow government meetings as they did during the trump years.
A good start.
5.56mm
Schitt was the worst.
Jihad NOW!!
Why does Santos get an assignment? He’s a lying a-hole. Oops, almost forgot, they are all lying a-holes.
McConnell’s PAC will run ads for Schiff.
Wow some good news. Finally.
Ah, yes - Eric Fartwell
The doomsters and posers are not happy...
