Jimmy Gomez, a Democrat from California’s 34th Congressional District, said in a press release on Wednesday, his decision come after “numerous reports revealing her repeated endorsements of sedition, domestic terrorism, and political violence.”On Thursday, Rep. Jim Cooper, a Democrat from Tennessee's 5th Congressional District, said he plans to support the resolution to expel Greene.Rep. Cooper also said he supports an ongoing effort to keep Greene from being seated on the Education and Labor Committee and said Greene should be censured.Rep. Jahana Hayes from Connecticut's 5th Congressional District, is circulating a letter asking that Greene not be seated on the education and labor committee because her "words and actions disqualify her from that privilege."&nbsp; &nbsp;Greene, who represents the 14th Congressional District , recently made headlines following a review from CNN of social media posts Greene made that reportedly before she was elected to Congress while also promoting extremist conspiracy theories.The following is the full press release issued by Gomez on Wednesday:LOS ANGELES&nbsp;– In light of numerous reports revealing her repeated endorsements of sedition, domestic terrorism, and political violence,&nbsp;Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)&nbsp;announced today he will introduce a resolution to expel Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from the U.S. House of Representatives.“As if it weren’t enough to amplify conspiracy theories that the September 11&nbsp;attacks were an inside job and the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was staged, a string of recent media reports has now confirmed that Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had previously supported social media posts calling for political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama,”&nbsp;said Congressman Gomez. “Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country, that I call on my House colleagues to support my resolution to immediately remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from this legislative body.”On January 26, 2021,&nbsp;&nbsp;uncovered social media activity and posts by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling for violence against Democrats in elected office.In one Facebook post from 2018, Congresswoman Greene replied to a supporter who asked how they can “hang” former President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying the “stage” was being “set” and that it would need to be done “perfectly.”Congresswoman Greene also liked a comment from 2019 that a “bullet to the head would be quicker” than an election for removing Speaker Pelosi from office, and messages about executing FBI agents working for the “deep state.”In September of 2020, Congresswoman Greene posted a meme of her with a gun pointed towards progressive members of Congress. And in June of 2020,&nbsp;&nbsp;of Congresswoman Greene espousing racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic attitudes, saying in one video that Muslims should be barred from serving in government.Stay with the WRCB app for updates to this developing story.ON AIR© Copyright 2022 , 900 Whitehall Road Chattanooga, TN&nbsp;| &nbsp;|Powered by from .{{title}}{{summary}}You don't have any notifications.Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device.Topics
