Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), the ranking Republican member on the House Armed Services Committee, says Democrats were setting a precedent by expelling controversial freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her assigned congressional committees.
During an interview that aired Friday on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Rogers explained there were plusses to Democrats spending time on Greene and impeachment. According to the Alabama GOP lawmaker, if Democrats continued to pursue Greene and former President Donald Trump, they were not passing legislation.
“You just described why I’m not that unhappy about what they’re doing,” he said. “I hope this impeachment trial in the Senate lasts three months. If they’re spending two or three months on an impeachment trial, they’re not passing bills into law. I’ve been doing this a long time. The further you go into an election cycle, the dimmer the chances of you passing meaningful legislation are happening. If you want to get big things done, you better do it in the first three or four months of a two-year cycle because big things don’t happen that closer that election gets to you. I want them to spend a lot of time on silly stuff because that means they’re not passing bills.”
Rogers said when Republicans eventually regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives, which is a strong possibility after the 2022 midterm elections, a GOP majority could pursue similar actions against Democrat House members imposed on Greene.
“I hate what they’re doing with what we call MTG, Marjorie Taylor Greene, because it’s just a terrible precedent,” Rogers continued. “They’re trying to hold something somebody said before they were in Congress and take their seats away. And plus, we have never allowed in the history of the Congress allowed the majority party to decide what committees minority parties are in. It’s always been each party decided that for...

I am hoping the next 2 years will be so bad that the Dems will lose both house and Senate and then one by one they impeach the whole cast.

ReplyDeleteThe democrats now control the voting process. Even if, for some odd reason, anyone wanted to elect a republican, it ain't gonna happen unless they are deep state worthy.
ReplyDeleteCharlie (above) hits the nail on the head. Our overseers may allow some token Republicans to be elected in the future......but they'll be token PLIABLE Republicans. Easy to control Republicans.
ReplyDeleteTo change the subject the picture shows Representative Greene shouldering a pistol length AR15. My understanding of the law is that it is illegal to use a pistol brace in such a Maner. The gun does not appear to be long enough to be used in such a manner. Am I wrong.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe a word liar Mike Rodgers says, now that Trump is out of office all the Rino's are strutting around talking tough against the democrats. Where was he and the rest of the "so called republican" assh#les in DC when Trump was in office and needed backing? Lee used to stand with Ted Cruz against the democrats which if you paid attention, Lee stopped about 6-7 years ago. Getting to that sweet retirement govt check was way more important than defending republicans as he was hired to do. F.U. Lee.
