Even if Kevin McCarthy wanted to punish Marjorie Taylor Greene for her hallway antics last week, could he? McCarthy (R-Calif.) no longer can deploy his most powerful weapon: removing her from her two committees. Democrats already used it for him, stripping the Georgia Republican provocateur from her committee assignments earlier this year. There is also the question of whether the GOP leader is willing to do anything. Republicans argue that Greene was unfairly booted from her committees because it was based on social media activity that happened prior to her time in Congress. McCarthy, who is known for being non-confrontational, could decide to make a remark that publicly distances the conference from her behavior or he could move to talk with her privately. TBD if he will... And then TBD if she’d listen to him. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested the House Ethics Committee should investigate her behavior. But that could take months and would be pretty toothless.
