Expel Marjorie T. Greene From The U.S. Congress
The decision to expel a member of Congress from the United States Congress is not determined by public opinion alone. Expulsion from Congress is a rare occurrence and requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House of Representatives. It is typically reserved for serious offenses such as treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia, has faced controversy due to her past statements and support for conspiracy theories. Ultimately, the decision to expel a member of Congress rests with the House of Representatives, and it would require a thorough investigation and a vote by the members to determine if expulsion is warranted. Which it is.
Why is this important?
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been associated with several conspiracy theories in the past. It's important to note that she has distanced herself from some of these theories or claimed that her views have evolved. Here are a few examples:
1. QAnon: Greene has expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, which alleges a secret plot against President Trump by a deep state of pedophiles and Satan-worshipping elites. She has since distanced herself from QAnon and stated that she no longer believes in it.
2. 9/11 Conspiracy Theories: In social media posts, Greene has suggested that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and that evidence supports controlled demolitions of the World Trade Center buildings.
3. False Flag Shootings: Greene has commented that mass shootings, such as the Parkland school shooting and the Las Vegas shooting, were staged or false flag operations.
4. Jewish Space Laser: In a Facebook post, Greene endorsed a conspiracy theory that blamed wildfires in California on a Jewish-controlled space laser. She has since disputed this theory and called it a mistake.
5. Pizzagate: Greene has liked and shared social media posts about the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, falsely claiming that high-ranking Democrats were involved in a child sex trafficking ring operating out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria.
6. Deep State: Greene has frequently used the term "deep state" to refer to a secret network of government officials and bureaucrats working to undermine President Trump and his administration.
7. COVID-19 Conspiracy Theories: Greene has expressed skepticism about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, questioned the effectiveness of masks, and suggested that the virus may have been intentionally released.
8. Recorded Revenge Impeachments motions.
It's important to note that experts and mainstream media outlets have widely debunked these conspiracy theories. Greene's association with these theories has drawn criticism and controversy.
