The House is set to hold a vote tomorrow on a resolution stripping GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments in the wake of troubling and bigoted social media posts as well as endorsement of insane conspiracy theories.
NEW: House will vote tomorrow on resolution stripping MTG of committee assignments
No deal between Hoyer and McCarthy after their phone call

I spoke to Leader McCarthy this morning, and it is clear there is no alternative to holding a Floor vote on the resolution to remove Rep. Greene from her committee assignments. The Rules Committee will meet this afternoon, and the House will vote on the resolution tomorrow.

It’s safe to assume that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar will vote in favor of the resolution. Today, she explained why that vote matters:
Republicans desperate bad faith ploy to justify bigotry must be defeated.
They can not succeed in bullying their way out of accountability.
That’s why this vote matters. https://t.co/UHTveanYwf

Ilhan Omar evidently hasn’t looked in a mirror in a while.
For some reason, the phrase "you should probably sit this one out" comes to mind. https://t.co/ovYLWKGbG0

There might be a reason Ilhan Omar’s name is being mentioned along with Greene’s.

Last time we checked, anti-Semitism fell under the “bigotry” umbrella.
Greene shouldnt be running a lemonade stand and should be sent packing but dont need to be preached by a gargantuan anti-semite on what bigotry is. https://t.co/V9EV0Sl3QK

Anti-Semite says what?
I’d be happy if both of you are held accountable together for your shared bigotry. https://t.co/jDhUWP9VuO

Nope, sorry. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s anti-Semitic conspiracy theories just aren’t as equal as Ilhan Omar’s. That’s why Omar’s allowed to keep pushing them without facing any real political consequences.
Feel free to make more anti-Semitic remarks. It's not like the press won't keep covering for you.

It’s not like her Democratic colleagues won’t keep covering for her.
Remember when Nancy Pelosi and her party wouldn't condemn Ilhan Omar by name for anti-Semitic comments but instead passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism & other bigotry in general?

We remember. So does Ilhan Omar, we bet. But she’s not going to talk about that.
Anyway, something for Omar to consider (which she most likely will not):
You know that if Republicans take back the House in 2022 they will use this precedent to take you off every committee assignment you have, right? https://t.co/I2tGv6SHF3
