The fact that 199 Republicans heard MTG's "I used to believe [cascade of conspiracies, disinformation, and lies] but now I'm sowwy. 😢" and decided to leave her on committees isn't surprising, but it is kind of sad. It's not like Republicans are the ones holding a narrow majority and they need Greene's vote to maintain power; it seems like a fairly easy and consequence-free way to strip her of her positions. I know it already was just a way to criticize Democrats, but you can't use the "Democrats are the real racists/antisemites/etc." argument when you have 90%+ of your own party voting in support of a person who, among many, many other things, thinks that "Zionist supremacists" are conspiring to replace white people in Europe.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there some great harm that would befall the Republican party if they stripped Greene of her committee positions or if she was expelled altogether?
