Impeach and remove Majorie Green from the House of Representatives

I don't believe in simply removing political rivals(let's use rivals as a more friendly term). However it is clear that Majorie Green is temperamentally unfit for the occupation that she now holds as a House of Representatives member. To put this in prospective, people took punitive punishment against then Rep-King, for let us say socially "insensitive" remarks(the remarks about Western Civilization, which not only would not have been too out of place 15 years ago, but had no baring on King's legislative record. Note, that no one ever cited a law he passed as unlawful.)

If we compare someone who believes in US-Western supremacy, to someone who believes in violence and intimidation it's night and day to me. The Republican Party needs to send a harsh message that this behavior isn't acceptable and signal to Pelosi the willingness to vote to impeach and remove her from the House and hold a special election for her seat.

 

Impeach her on what grounds?

 

Physically threatening another member of the body. This behavior isn't tolerable or acceptable within the grounds of the House of Representatives. If we censure people for their political beliefs, we can do more to protect our own representatives regardless of party.

 

0% chance she gets impeached. MSM has made her a celebrity and she will be one of the faces of the Republican party

Just like with the Dems & AOC - and it is to both parties detriment

 

I'd like to congratulate Maxine Waters for no longer being the biggest loon in The House.

 

Ok I missed it. How did she physical threaten her?

 

If you stand behind someone yelling at them, that's already physically intimidating. But when there's a pandemic and when this person has already had socially violent messages on social media? Were I speaker, her expulsion would be immediate. And it would be the same(and should be) if a Democrat engaged in such behavior.

 

So she didn't physically threaten her? She just yelled at her and berated her? That's not justifiable cause for expulsion or impeachment. She shouldn't have done it and deserves some sort of reprimand that can be agreed on. What did the other rep do to cause the interaction?

 

Yes. Screaming at someone, close-up, without a mask, during a pandemic, is a physical threat. That's a decent viral load.

Your incorrect opinion that this disease isn't dangerous is irrelevant.

 

Okay, let's be blunt about it: Say it were a male representative who walked from behind Ms. Bush and yelled at them. This discussion would be entirely different.(Well, it shouldn't be, but it would be.). Her behavior, both past and present is worthy of expulsion from the House of Representatives. We have to hold our bodies of government to a certain standard.

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene is about 99 cents short of a buck, she seems completely irrational.

 

So Green is infected with the china plague? I wish her a speedy recovery. Yelling at someone is not a physical assault china plague or not. If she made no threats it doesn't qualify as an assault at all.

 

The house actually has the authority to remove a congressman from office without impeachment, which also doesn't require a vote from both houses if I am not mistaken.

 

Not from my point of view. If you yell at your wife do you deserve to be arrested for spousal abuse?

 

It depends on the context of what was said, repeated behavior, etc. Also, there's differing remedies for differing situations. She could easily leave an unhappy marriage. One shouldn't be forced to move their office(and/or quit) due to an unruly worker. In the CEO business, I would have fired her ass.

You're making excuses for the inexcusable. That might go in Trump Tower, but at least for my own standards of leadership she would've most likely either been removed or given a very stern warning on her behavior moving forward.

 

I'm sorry, if all she simply did was yell at and berate her...from behind no less... then I don't see why she should be removed. Was there even yelling? How far apart where they? What was said? Is there video of what happened? I need something beyond a twitter post to base a decision on.

 

We certainly could use and welcome more evidence, but given her past I'm also not willing to extend her the benefit of the doubt. Serving is a privilege, clearly one that is too high for Majorie, and so I vote for her removal.

 

This isn't private industry so it doesn't work that way and I'm not saying such behavior is acceptable. I do agree that she definitely deserves a stern warning and/ reprimand of some sort but it doesn't justify expulsion and there are no grounds for impeachment.

 

If she isn't removed, it would just embolden her to continue that behavior. After what happened on the 6th, I'm on a zero tolerance policy for this kind of nonsense. You remove the disease from the body, and they'll be able to carry on. Again, it's a responsibility not a moral right. There's no contract ensuring her service.

 

So you say she should be removed for yelling at someone? In that case I hope you're arrested for assault next time you're accused of yelling at someone. I'm sure you'll agree to that? Facts be damned.

 

Well, without more context I vote that she stays. :shrugs: But its not really up to us is it? We JUST had an election. The people in her district voted for her and removing her based on something with pretty much no context and a twitter post is not just cause for removing her and going against the wishes of the people in her district.

 

This is just the latest in a string of incredibly loony behavior.

 

I'm glad it isn't your decision. From the evidence available what she did does not justify removal of an elected official. And what does Jan 6 have to do with anything? Is there evidence she was a participant?

 

If looney behavior was all that was required for removal of office then we'd be having to have an election again because pretty much everyone in Congress has done something or other that's "looney".

 

Keep her in the House ... she is the best illustration of just how ****ed up some MAGA supporters can become.
She's worth millions in negative GOP advertising.
