Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committee assignments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we\u2019ve reviewed this with the parliamentarian,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cNever before in the history of this House, has the majority abused its power in this way. Never in the entire history of this House have you ever abused the power in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further regarding the controversy Greene generated with things she said before becoming a member of Congress, McCarthy said, \u201cAs for the member in question, let me be very clear. Rep. Greene\u2019s past comments and posts as a private citizen do not represent the values of my party,\u201d McCarthy said.&nbsp;\u201cAs a Republican, as a conservative, as an American, I condemn those views unequivocally. I condemn them when they first surfaced and I condemn them today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis House overwhelmingly voted to condemn the dangerous lies of QAnon last Congress and continue to do so,\u201d McCarthy continued. \u201cI made this clear when I met with Rep. Greene. I also made clear that we as members have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard. She acknowledged this during our conversation and apologized for her past comments. I will hold her to her words and her actions moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said he offered to pull Greene off one of her committee assignments, but that Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD)&nbsp;rejected the offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is the new standard, if this is new standard, I look forward to continuing out the standard,\u201d McCarthy continued. \u201cBecause if you look for a side that has a leadership that\u2019s done something when their members do something as a member, not prior, look to me. Because I did just that. But when a Democrat freshmen said \u2018Israel has hypnotized the world,\u2019 that supporting Israel is \u2018all about the Benjamins,\u2019 and that 9\/11 \u2018some people did something,\u2019 did Speaker Pelosi kick her off Foreign Affairs Committee? Or did she keep her on the committee and even pose with her on the cover of a magazine? Will the standard change?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen another Democrat was compromised by a Chinese spy, that it was so serious that the FBI had to brief the congressional leaders, did Speaker Pelosi remove him from the House Intelligence or Homeland Security Committees after the briefing?\u201d McCarthy went on. \u201cI\u2019m the only other person that had that same briefing. Just recently, I was in the room with the speaker. I heard what was said. I\u2019ll be very clear, I would never have that member on either of those committees. Or did she reward him by making him the head of the subcommittee overseeing the CIA? I guess there\u2019s different standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the chairman of the Rules Committee objected to certifying the 2016 election, citing Russian interference, did Speaker Pelosi censure him?\u201d McCarthy continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow about when the chairwoman the Financial Services Committee told supporters at a rally in 2017, she was a member then, unlike the person we\u2019re talking about today, \u2018If you see anyone from the cabinet, in a restaurant, in a department store, at gasoline station, you get out, you create a crowd, you push back on them, and you tell them they\u2019re not welcome anywhere, anywhere, with anyone anymore.\u2019 After she called for violence against public servants, did Speaker Pelosi condemn it?\u201d McCarthy continued, referring to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr did she look the other way and make her chairwoman again? I don\u2019t know if you want to amend this one and add others so you can keep your standard. The answer is obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Democrats democrats attack Congresswoman Greene, they not only in ignore the infractions within their own party, they reward these members with prestige and influence,\u201d McCarthy added.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also fired a warning shot at Democrats by quoting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), saying, \u201c\u2018You\u2019ll regret this and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Leader McCarthy to Democrats&#039; Vote Against Marjorie Taylor Greene: &quot;You&#039;ll Regret This&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8iSfXVWp-Fw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
