Politico Here's his plan: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he plans to kick three Democrats off their committee assignments if Republicans win back the majority next year.
"In an interview with Breitbart, the GOP leader said his party would move to strip Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from their posts on the House Intelligence Committee, and remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from her spot on the House Foreign Affairs Committee." . . .
. . ."How he sees it: The California Republican has vowed to retaliate against Democrats after Speaker Nancy Pelosi took action against two of his party’s members last year. All three of the lawmakers McCarthy named are lightning-rod figures for the GOP, most notably Schiff, the Intelligence Committee chair who led multiple House investigations focused on Donald Trump.
“The Democrats have created a new thing where they’re picking and choosing who can be on committees. Never in the history [of Congress] have you had the majority tell the minority who can be on committee.” — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to Breitbart.
