Republicans looking to remove Ilhan Omar from committees because Dems are trying to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
Obviously.
It ain't the worst option with their base, is the real problem.
Just amazing. Its like someone in the GOP said "two can play at that game!" and then they all decided to pee on themselves.
Not surprised by this in the least. Ilhan and AOC (especially the former seeing as she's muslim) are like empire state building tier lightning rods to the right. They can't help targeting them for any perceived criticism against the right no matter how well earned.
I'm definitely using this going forward lol.
That would involve them admitting that government can work, which is anathema to Republicans
remove the muslim woman fighting for a better world, yeah.
totally the same as that nutcase who believes every right wing conspiracy imaginable.

Ilhan has a couple extra characteristics that they hate. She is a muslim and an immigrant.
Their base can't carry them.
The party is at a huge inflection point: do they just double down on this horseshit, keep the crazy WWC in their base and basically forfeit the suburbs for the next few decades?
It's an incredibly short-sighted play.
Man, Ronny Jackson has really gone off the fucking deep end. Talk about selling your soul, this guy's capitulation is even more blatant and humiliating than Cruz endorsing Trump in 2016.
The state this Party is in is a national embarrassment. January 6th will be tame in comparison if this the politics in the US is not addressed.
Their base can't carry them, but the average swing voter can. And the average swing voter is, well:
Not to mention, individually, most Senators and representatives are in districts where literally the only thing they need to worry about is the base and a primary.

Honestly, I think shit like this sinks them with the uninformed undecided voter (of which there are many, I agree).
When they start learning that the GOP protected a woman who believes that Jews are firing lasers from space, and someone who believes that Sandy Hook never happened... Well. You lose them pretty quickly.
And just going by the data, Independents and even a small, but significant, number of Republicans have no interest in going down this rabbit hole either. It's just not a tenable position for long term success.
God, these people are shit incarnate. It's pure retaliation with not a micron of justification beyond being angry that the Democrats want a vile piece of garbage like Greene removed. The fact that they think someone like her is actually the victim and just fine tells you all you need to know about them and 95% of the GOP.
This is already a losing strategy in national elections
Republicans are leaving the party after Jan 6 estimated
6,000 AZ
10,000 PA
4,000 NC
The number reported total is about 30,000 have switched party affiliation
Which could mean more terrible candidates get primaried
I live in GA we as voters paid close attention when it was clear in June she would be running unopposed and had proud boys oath keepers security took a pandemic loan to find her campaign.
The national media finally caught on since Trump pushed her now to his base that's ok I'm sure about 20 will be found aiding the inssurections I will bet she will be on that indictment list.

Agree with all of this.
Republicans can only afford to lose so much of suburbia and it appears they don't give a shit as long as their crazy, urban base is placated.
Mitch knows this is a losing strategy, but since all of them are afraid of getting primaried they're going to do what is in their best interests of being re-elected.
Damn, how petty.
They're incapable of shouldering the slightest maturity to reprimand overtly racist & dangerous MTG.
