House Freedom Caucus Expels Marjorie Taylor Greene (Congress, drug, solution)

[Member1]

The House Freedom Caucus apparently decided that Greene violated their code of conduct...

Says a thing or two about her, doesn't it?

[Goodnight]

When you are too extreme for the Freedom Caucus you need to do some soul searching.

I think McCarthy will defend her, he doesn't appear to have much in the way of standards.

This is a step in the right direction. You can't just act like a lunatic and still expect your fellow party members to put up with you.

[James Bond 007]

A reject among rejects. That's pretty bad.

It should we be nice if that standard was held by all members of Congress and both political parties.

I absolutely love her. She's a fighter when no one else will dare fight. We need more of her on the Republican side.

How can you watch this video and claim you don't like her?

You surely can if you’re name is Joe Biden.

She's largely complaining about a problem that conservatives have dismissed for years... Drug overdoses. How many times have we heard conservatives suggest that a junkie ODing is benefiting society? But now it's politically convenient for conservative politicians to play the victim card on this issue?


I'll agree, democrats suck at dealing with this issue as well. Giving out free crack pipes is not the answer. Distributing Narcan is closer to a solution. But still... Neither party can claim they are equipped with the tools necessary to tackle the very real problem of drug addiction in America. At this point, it has become a cultural issue. Good luck with that...

Oh...

She’s closely allied herself with Speaker Kevin McCarthy this year, lining up against many Freedom Caucus members when she supported both his rocky speakership bid and his debt deal with President Joe Biden.

...
Asked if her support for McCarthy and the debt deal fed into the decision to remove her from the group, Harris replied: “I think all of that mattered.”

Is this true?
