weird that he says "just for context", but then doesn't provide the context.

Some sources are reporting that she did in fact dismiss any idea that the school shootings were fake.  Conflicting reports on exactly what was said.

The self-evident context is she is a stark raving loon.

So how many Republicans will vote yes on the resolution? Kinzinger definitely will, but who else?

Does it really matter much, though? If a majority of congressional Republicans had backbone they would vote to expell this moron from the House. However, over 140 of them showed their true colors on January 6 by voting to overturn an election after an insurrection happened.

I still can't believe they did that. The lunatic fringe.

I saw this coming in 2008. That others didn't is the only surprising thing here.

What did you see?

Honestly I would love to see her forced into running in her actual home, the 6th district. It would be hilarious and McBath might get like 80% of the vote.

She was originally running here (I remember seeing her signs!), but she carpetbagged up to NW Georgia when Graves retired. I don't even think she could've won the primary down here, but if she did, she would've gotten trounced in the general.

What a sick, evil person she is.  Why on earth should someone who has to go in front of Congress to say she believes twenty first graders got murdered not be in an asylum?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Marjorie did give an apology on the House floor this morning, saying she does not believe in  qanon anymore, believes 9/11 happened, and that school shootings are real, and regrets those statements and seeks forgiveness from Jesus. However she also took time to attack Democrats on abortion.

McCarthy has also set out a strongly worded letter demanding the GOP caucus vote to keep her on committees.

There may not be any GOPers voting yes.

It would be a REALLY bad look for Kinzinger's "Restore the GOP" if he votes no.

If she will also public state that the election was not stolen, Democrats should suspend the vote with a backroom deal with her and McCarthy that the vote can be held at any future time if she steps outrageously over the line again.

She didn’t apologize

The base already turning.

Birtherism and other appeals to racisme. The notion of Demcorats or minorities being "not real Americans" and thus needing their voting rights stripped. Obstruction for the sake of obstruction. The general right wing reaction to Obama's presidency, really. Remember the rallies with effigies of Obama being lunched?

"Not my president" started with Republicans and Obama, and there were already Republicans in 2010 and 12 starting to call elections they lost as fraudulant, including claiming Obama stole the election.

It was only a matter of time before these sort of people were elected to office, or officeholders sold their soul to appeal to the worst elements of society to keep their own seats.

Do you think Shrader or Cartwright will be the only Dems to vote no on punishment for MTG?

Have some dignity woman (said in the style of Robert Baratheon)

Only 2 Republicans so far in support. I'm guessing one is Kinzinger.

Up to 4 now, but it's definitely passing. No Democrat is voting against.

Kinzinger and Fitz.

Nevermind. Back down to 3.

[Farmlands]

Yep. The other one is Fitzpatrick, no doubt trying to win back some of those comfy "moderate hero" points he lost after the second impeachment vote.

[politicallefty]

Who's the 3rd? I'm guessing a Biden district Republican.

[KaiserDave]

It’s 8 now

[user12345]

It’s 8 now

Up to 9!

[politicallefty]

It’s 8 now

That's interesting and quite unusual.

Up to 11 now!

A bit suprising, probably the 9/11 conspiracy theories.
