House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy condemned past incendiary statements by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene but said he’ll take no action to punish the Georgia Republican, as House Democrats moved to oust her from two committees.
Greene kept the backing of House Republicans after she faced them Wednesday night in a private meeting where she backed away from her previous promotion of QAnon and other conspiracies that had brought denunciations from Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell and other, as well as Democrats.
