Ted Lieu just destroyed Marjorie Taylor Greene

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the most unfit people elected to the House of Representatives in some time, has already been stripped of her House committee assignments. This has largely made her irrelevant. Now she’s apparently decided to spend her time wasting everyone else’s time, with random motions from the floor.

Let’s just say that Congressman Ted Lieu wasn’t having any of it. He posted this tweet in response to Greene’s stunt today: “Congratulations on making your first random motion to adjourn! Can you feel the power? You get to force all Members to show up on the floor. The downside of course is that it’s a waste of time and taxpayers money for us to vote on stupid, nonsensical motions.”

It’s a reminder that we need to find a way to vote far right freaks like Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Congress in 2022. Removing her from committees was the strongest action that House Democrats were allowed to do without Republican support. House Republicans are still refusing to provide enough votes to expel her. So it’ll come down to the voting public.
