The House voted on Thursday to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her two committee assignments over her past endorsements of violence and promotion of conspiracy theories.

With a bipartisan vote of 230-199, 11 Republicans joined with Democrats to oust Greene from the Committee on Education and Labor and the House Budget Committee, Fox News report.

House Republicans appointed Marjorie Taylor Greene to both panels last month after the Georgia freshman was sworn into Congress. 

Democrats said they were forced to take action to uphold the standards of decency in Congress as GOP leadership earlier refused to penalize Marjorie Taylor Greene for the incendiary remarks she made before she was elected last November.

Rep. Jim McGovern, the chairman of the House Rules Committee, said that serving on a committee is a privilege and not a right.

"When someone encourages violence against a member, they should lose that privilege," McGovern said in the report.

McGovern noted that "the party of Lincoln" is becoming the party of violent conspiracy theories, "and apparently, the leaders of the Republican Party in the House today aren't going to do a damn thing about it."

Marjorie Taylor Greene's Claims

Republicans earlier condemned Greene's past comments, including the QAnon conspiracies, claims that mass school shootings were staged, suggesting that a plane did not hit the Pentagon during 9/11 and endorsed violence against prominent Democratic officials.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was also known to espouse anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views. But the 46-year-old lawmaker said Thursday these were words of the past and did not represent her and her district.

She further noted that the press is just like QAnon, saying that the media was just as divisive as the conspiracy theories promoted by QAnon supporters, according to a CBS News report. 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not escape Greene's attack too, as the latter repeatedly expressed support for assassinating powerful Democrats, including her.

Business Insider reported that Marjorie Taylor Greene liked a Facebook comment in January 2019, saying Pelosi should get a "bullet to the head." She also said Pelosi would suffer "suffer death or she'll be in prison" for "treason."

Pelosi slammed House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy for his refusal to act on the matter. In a statement, the House Speaker said that McCarthy has chosen to make House Republicans the party of conspiracy theories and QAnon, adding that Greene is in the driver's seat.

USA Today reported that McGovern also said that they had hoped that the Republican leadership would have dealt with the matter but failed to do so.

"The question we all have to ask ourselves is what is the consequence of doing nothing," McGovern said in a report.

Meanwhile, McCarthy blasted the Democrats for overstepping their bounds and said that he understands that Greene's comments have caused deep wounds to many. And as a result, he claimed that he offered House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer a path to lower the temperature and address these concerns.

But instead of coming together to do that, McCarthy said the Democrats chose to raise the temperature by taking the unprecedented step to further their partisan power grab on the committee assignments of the other party.

Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, on the other hand, said Democrats were setting a dangerous precedent of punishing lawmakers for acts made years before becoming a Congress member.
