Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell losing their committee assignments shouldn’t have been a surprise; Kevin McCarthy said he was going to do it if Republicans took back the House. Now that they (and Ilhan Omar) have lost their committee assignments, the crying and rending of garments are almost too much to take. Seriously: Neither Schiff nor Swalwell will shut up about it.
Riding in to white-knight for them is Rep. Jamie Raskin, most distinguished by serving on the January 6 select committee. He complains that McCarthy has seated serial fabulist George Santos on a committee and has “bowed and scraped” to “compulsive liar and conman” Donald Trump.
By refusing to seat Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar on their committees while seating compulsive liar and conman George Santos and bowing and scraping to compulsive liar and conman Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy has shown America exactly what he believes in: nothing.

Lying is bad, but we must admit we’re getting a kick out of Santos, whose background is as fictitious as President Joe Biden’s. And since Raskin’s brief on the January 6 committee was to make sure Trump never held office again, he probably had Trump on the brain.
This dude ⬆️ is an absolute clown.

Mike Pompeo confirmed they stopped giving Adam Schiff classified information because they could correlate leaking of that info by Schiff.

Are you willing to bet that Swalwell wouldn’t sell us out to the Chinese to keep them from releasing the Fang Fang-Swalwell sex tapes? Kevin isn’t willing to take that bet.

Jamie the country is laughing at you.

what do you mean ‘their committees’? your party owns them or something?

Political poll:
Would you trust Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, and/or Ilhan Omar to take care of your pets, if you were out of town? #Congress— Brett From L.A. (@ItsBrettFromLA) January 25, 2023
A single committee, not "committees". They're banned from the Intelligence Committee because they wouldn't be able to get a security clearance anywhere else.

You're an election denier.

We forgot to mention that in our headline; yes, election denier Jamie Raskin.
“Their” committees? Bad, but interesting, take.

Speaking of compulsive liars, you are lucky to have kept your seat.

Boo hoo.

Woo hoo!!! Thank you @SpeakerMcCarthy for getting the corruption out of this committee!

Seriously, how long are these two going to cry about it on Twitter and on every cable news channel that will have them?
