Why would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America? So I will not allow him to be on Intel. You have Adam Schiff, who had lied to the American public time and time again. We will not allow him to be on the Intel committee either. Congresswoman Omar, her anti-Semitic comments that have gone forward; we\u2019re not going to allow her on Foreign Affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi set the precedent,\u201d Gingrich, whose 1994 Contract with America led to the massive 54 seats gained by the Republicans as they took control of the House for the first time since 1954, recalled. \u201cShe did something that had never been done before and reached into the minority party to decide who could and could not serve on some committees. I think Kevin McCarthy is following her precedent. So the Democrats have nothing to complain about because they started this dance and frankly, the three people he\u2019s picked so totally deserve being kicked off committees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable,\u201d Gingrich continued. \u201cAdam Schiff made a career out of lying to the American people while serving as chairman of the Intelligence Committee without any question, just plain, flat-out lying. Swalwell has had a relationship with a Chinese communist; that\u2019s unimaginable for somebody who\u2019s going to have security clearance. And of course, Omar is a viciously anti-Israel, anti-Semitic orator who has consistently violated the norms of civilized behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think those are three pretty good targets. And I commend Speaker-designate McCarthy\u00a0for taking them head-on,\u201d Gingrich concluded.<\/p>\n<p>When he warned of his future action regarding leftist Democrats as he spoke Fox News\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/mccarthy-vows-remove-swalwell-schiff-omar-house-committees\" data-testid=\"standard-link\">Sunday Morning Futures<\/a>, McCarthy also stated, \u201cWe\u2019re also going to stand up to what\u2019s happening, not just in the halls in Congress, but what\u2019s happening to our higher education institutions, the antisemitism that\u2019s going on on these campuses and others. We will investigate that as well and stop this to make sure that America does have the freedoms that we said we would keep, and we will stand up to it as we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of the most influential Republicans in recent decades, commended House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for his stated desire to remove hard-core leftist Democrats from position on House committees if he is elected House Speaker.
