preview

&nbsp;Tuesday, Sep 13th 2022| 1.2kSeventy-three House Democrats have signed onto an effort to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress, with California Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez introducing a resolution to do so on Friday.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on Gomez's plans - and the number of co-sponsors he was able to attract, including prominent Reps. , Eric Swalwell, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'There is nothing more threatening to Democrats than strong Republican Women!!!' Greene tweeted Thursday, sharing a tweet about the move. 'House Democrats have declared war on House Republican Women!'&nbsp; &nbsp;In another tweet, which linked to the Georgia Republican's donation page, Greene said: 'In Nancy Pelosi's America, I've been expelled from Congress!'&nbsp;'And that's exactly what the Democrats are introducing TOMORROW: a Resolution to expel &amp; remove me from office for the mere crime of standing with the People, not the politicians!' she said.&nbsp;The timing isn't connected to anything Greene did this week, rather Gomez's office had 'quite a few' conversations with House Republicans about supporting the resolution and wanted to wait for those decisions to be made, Forbes said.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gomez's spokesperson Eric Harris told the publication that there was 'interest' among GOP lawmakers, but 'concerns regarding threats of violence and political retribution' prevented any from signing on.&nbsp;During the vote last month to strip Greene of her committee assignments, just 11 House Republicans signed on.&nbsp;Gomez called for a 'strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues,' Forbes reported.&nbsp;Instead, she's been embraced by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and former President Donald Trump, while Senate Minority Mitch McConnell - who broke with Trump after the January Georgia run-off losses - has condemned her.&nbsp;Gomez said he believed Greene should be expelled from Congress over some of the conspiracy theories she's signed onto - including on the legitimacy of school shootings and the Sept. 11 terror attacks - as well as social media posts that indicated she wanted top Democrats executed.&nbsp;Greene also took heat this week for voting against a resolution that gave Congressional Gold Medals to the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcment that protected the Capitol during the January 6 insurrection.&nbsp;The resolution gave one medal to the Capitol Police, another to D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department and another to the Smithsonian to be displayed with a plaque listing all the law enforcement agencies that were involved.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead of voting in the affirmative, Greene signed on as a co-sponsor to a separate resolution, sponsored by Rep. Louie Gohmert, that made no mention of the attack on the Capitol, though listed the three names of the of Capitol Police officers who died.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Share what you thinkThe comments below have not been moderated.The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.We are no longer accepting comments on this article.Published by Associated Newspapers LtdPart of the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday &amp; Metro Media Group&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
