Because of her QAnon conspiracy tweets that she sent out before she got elected, Georgia's freshman House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has been stripped of her committee assignments by all of the House Democrats and 11 Republicans.
The yeas are 230 and the nays are 199.
The resolution is adopted.
Now her Georgia constituents knew about her QAnon tweets and they voted her anyway, 75%.
And before the vote to strip her of her committee assignments, I thought she was thoughtful and considerate and contrite.
I never once said during my entire campaign, QAnon.
I never once said any of the things that I am being accused of today during my campaign.
I never said any of these things since I have been elected for Congress.
These were words of the past, and these things do not represent me, they do not represent my district, and they do not represent my values.
And if this Congress is to tolerate members that condone riots that have hurt American people, attacked police officers, occupied federal property, burned businesses and cities, but yet wants to condemn me and crucify me in the public square for words that I said and I regret a few years ago, then I think we are in a real big problem, a very big problem.
If this is the new standards, can we apply that to, oh, I don't know, kerosene, magazine, waters?
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
And you push back on them.
And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.
And then there's Maxine Waters' letter to Fidel Castro.
What?
Didn't know about that?
You didn't know Maxine Waters sent a letter to Fidel Castro, urging him not to send back a woman who was convicted of murdering a New Jersey state trooper?
Her name was Joanne Chesimar.
She changed the name to Asante Shakur.
And Congress unanimously passed a resolution telling Castro to send her back to America.
And Maxine Waters signed on to that resolution.
She didn't realize that Joanne Chesimar had changed her name to Asante Shakur.
So, Maxine Waters writes a letter to Castro.
And here's what it says.
Dear President Castro, Republican leadership quietly slipped this bill onto the accelerated suspension calendar.
The resolution did not mention Asanta Shakur, but chose only to call her Joanne Chesimar.
She said she didn't realize she was asking you to send back Asanta Shakur.
She didn't know her by Joanne Chesimar.
The second reason I oppose this measure is because I respect the right of Asanta Shakur to seek political asylum.
She's maintained that she was persecuted as a result of her political beliefs and political affiliations.
As a result, she left The United States and sought political asylum in Cuba, where she still resides.
She then talked about the persecution against the Black Panthers.
Note she was a member.
The Black Panther Party was the primary target of U.S. domestic government political harassment and persecution during this era of the 60s and 70s.
This illegal clandestine political persecution was wrong in 1973 and remains wrong today.
I hope that my position is clear.
I hope to see a new era of U.S.-Cuban relations in the future." She left America and went to Cuba, you know, like a vacation, a tour.
No, she escaped from prison and fled to Cuba.
She is a convicted murderer of a New Jersey state trooper and Maxine Waters likened her to a freedom fighter and asked Castro to keep her there.
Who does that?
Now, if this is the new standard, does it apply to Senator Chuck Schumer?
I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.
You won't know what hit you.
And Dems, the media, and unfortunately too many Republicans don't seem to know about or care about Chuck Schumer's 1974 racist scheme to purge blacks from a New York neighborhood.
I was just a fly on the wall, essentially.
I was 16, 17, something like that.
My father got invited to this meeting.
He wasn't that politically active, but he was a prominent figure.
And this was in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.
And they were introducing Charles Schumer to us.
And I think this is before he ran for Congress.
He was becoming a state assembly person.
They were introducing, and they were trying to sell him to us.
He was not a very impressive figure, I must say.
He was whiny, nasal, didn't seem to have much confidence.
And they were trying to put him forward and sell him on the basis.
And unfortunately, all the assumptions that went into this are horrible, but they put him forward on the basis that he's going to get the blacks off Avenue K. If you know the Flatbush section, It tends to be a white section of single-family homes, and for whatever reason, over the years, it evolved in that way.
But there's a cluster of apartment houses on Avenue K where blacks resided.
And frankly, they were not violent.
There were no classes going on in the streets.
There was no fear.
If there was a problem, I didn't detect a problem.
I lived there.
But to whoever had a problem with it, it would have only been on a strictly racist type of basis.
And so they brought Schumer to us.
They said, this guy's a genius.
He's got a plan to get the blacks off Avenue K. Really?
How's he gonna do it?
Well, here's what he's gonna do.
So he's gonna make some kind of a state-funded refurbishing of those buildings.
So on paper, it'll look like he's helping the blacks.
But of course, they can't refurbish it with the people living there, so they'll move the people out to other locations while they're refurbishing.
Then they'll turn it into a type of a co-op unit where you have to buy your way back in.
They were assuming that most of those people would not have the funds necessary to buy back in.
And so by then, maybe it would take a year or two for the construction.
They would be settled in the new area anyway.
They wouldn't bother to come back, and then They would sell these apartments to white people, and that would be the solution.
So, Jay, how does a man like Chuck Schumer, and no matter how popular he is in New York, everybody's got enemies, why haven't his opponents used this scheme against him in any of his campaigns?
Well, I think that the witnesses are embarrassed.
You know, the people who know about it are the people who collaborated with it, and they don't really want to put themselves out there.
You know, I was 16 years old, so I have no skin in the game, you know.
Jay, if I were running against Chuck Schumer, the first thing I would do is grab Jay Homnick, sit him down, videotape him for 60 seconds, cut an ad and put it out there.
I'm shocked that somebody has not done this.
This is a blatantly racist scheme for somebody who frequently pulls out the race card.
He's referred to Donald Trump as a racist for crying out loud.
Talk about walking, talking hypocrisy.
And as you know, Jay, Donald Trump entered into a consent decree in 1975, at least he and his dad did.
Trump was 28 years old.
And that's used against him as Exhibit A for racism.
Well, this happened around the same time, 1974.
Yet there's a no-fly zone over discussing this about Chuck Schumer.
I'm stunned, Jay.
I really am.
And if this is the new standard, does it apply to Representative Ilhan Omar?
In that apology, Omar said that she never meant to injure or hurt her constituents, particularly her Jewish constituents.
And this apology comes after she issued a pair of tweets over the weekend suggesting that AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, Has bought the support of her colleagues.
This is not, however, the first time that Omar has had to apologize for tweets that some see as having anti-Semitic overtones.
A couple of weeks ago, she said she was sorry for this tweet from 2012, in which she said, quote, Israel has hypnotized the world.
Now, Omar is one of the first Muslim women in Congress.
She's one of just a couple of members of Congress who support a movement known as BDS, which calls for a boycott of Israel until property can be returned to Palestinians.
Oh, all Ilan Omar has done is said that Jews have hypnotized the world and that some Jewish politicians have dual loyalties.
Oh, and she supports the boycott, divest, sanction movement that even Chuck Schumer has called anti-Semitic.
Now this brings us to Representative Elsie Hastings of Florida.
This gentleman was a Jimmy Carter appointee, a federal district judge.
On tape, caught discussing accepting a $150,000 bribe to give light sentences to some mob-connected defendants.
He has tried.
He is found not guilty.
But the 11th Circuit that governs this area felt that he had fabricated evidence and recommended that he be impeached.
The Democrat-controlled House voted to do just that.
They voted 413 to 3 to impeach him.
Again, this was a Democrat-controlled House.
And the Senate convicted him on 8 of the 17 counts that were sent by the House.
The man played the race card, ran for office, got elected to the House, has served several terms, and now sits on the House Rules Committee.
Only in America.
So, if Marjorie Taylor Greene is a new standard, can we apply that to Ilhan Omar?
Can we apply that to Maxine Waters?
Can we apply that to Chuck Schumer for his 1974 scheme to purge a New York neighborhood of its blacks?
Now, as you know, we have been demonetized by YouTube.
The good news is, and the reason I'm smiling, is that we must be doing something right.
