Georgia Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brian-kemp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Kemp</a> slammed House Republicans on Tuesday who were trying to force House Speaker Mike Johnson out of his position, thus throwing the U.S. House of Representatives into chaos.
Kemp directed his remarks at Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who posted on X that he was supporting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene&#8217;s (R-GA) motion to vacate the speakership.
&#8220;I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate that was introduced by @RepMTG,&#8221; Massie posted. &#8220;He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker.&#8221;
Kemp responded: &#8220;Instead of bickering amongst themselves and handing Democrats control of the House, Republicans should do their damn job and vote on the important issues facing our nation. Enough is enough. I support @SpeakerJohnson.&#8221;

The effort by Greene and Massie to oust Johnson comes after former President Donald Trump held a press conference with Johnson where he backed up the House Speaker.
Trump said at the event on Friday that Johnson was “doing a really good job under very tough circumstances,” adding: “I stand with the speaker, we’ve had a very good relationship.”

“We’re getting along very well with the Speaker and I get along very well with Marjorie. We have a Speaker who was voted in and it was a complicated process … it’s not an easy situation for any Speaker,” Trump later added. “I think he’s doing a very good job, he’s doing about as good as you’re going to do and I’m sure that Marjorie understands that. She’s a very good friend of mine and I know she has a lot of respect for the speaker.”

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> will consider foreign aid legislation that would provide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-says-hes-confident-house-will-vote-on-ukraine-aid-after-easter-recess" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more assistance to Ukraine</a> along with &#8220;important innovations&#8221; after the Easter recess, Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA) said on Sunday.
Johnson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmcBNTCF1ZQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News host Trey Gowdy that lawmakers have been &#8220;working to build a consensus&#8221; to address national security issues that he said begins with U.S. border security.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been talking to all the members, especially now in the district work period. When we return after this work period, we&#8217;ll be moving a product,&#8221; Johnson said, suggesting there could be action as early as next week.
&#8220;It&#8217;s going to — I think — have some important innovations: <a href="https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/rep/release/risch-whitehouse-applaud-committee-passage-of-repo-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The REPO Act</a>. If we can use the seized assets of Russian oligarchs to allow the Ukrainians to fight them, that&#8217;s just pure poetry,&#8221; he said.
Johnson also mentioned a &#8220;loan concept&#8221; that has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lindsey-graham-meets-zelensky-says-he-floated-trumps-loan-idea-for-ukraine-aid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floated</a> by former President Donald Trump as a way to continue aid to Ukraine.
&#8220;We&#8217;re not just giving foreign aid, we&#8217;re setting it up in a relationship where they can provide it back to us when the time is right,&#8221; Johnson said.
The speaker said lawmakers want to &#8220;release&#8221; American energy and have natural gas exports that will &#8220;help unfund&#8221; Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s war effort in Ukraine.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of things that we should do that make more sense and that I think we&#8217;ll have consensus around. We&#8217;re putting that product together and we&#8217;ll be moving it right after the district work period,&#8221; Johnson added.
In February, the Democrat-led Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-passes-95-billion-foreign-aid-bill-despite-opposition-from-over-half-of-republican-senators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a $95 billion foreign aid bill that would allocate money for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, responding to President Joe Biden&#8217;s national security supplemental request.
While the House has refused to consider the legislation, with Johnson insisting border security reforms must be part of the equation, some GOP members have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-says-hes-confident-house-will-vote-on-ukraine-aid-after-easter-recess" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed for alternatives</a>.
During his conversation with Gowdy, Johnson also responded to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-files-motion-to-oust-mike-johnson-as-house-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">motion</a> from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to oust him as speaker after the House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-files-motion-to-oust-mike-johnson-as-house-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> a $1.2 trillion spending bill.

&#8220;I think all of my other Republican colleagues recognize this is a distraction from our mission &#8230; to save the Republic and the only way we can do that is if we grow the House majority, win the Senate, and win the White House,&#8221; he said.
Calling Greene a &#8220;friend,&#8221; Johnson said he shares her frustrations about government spending. He added that they have exchanged text messages and plan to talk soon.
&#8220;I want to talk with her about reforming the budgeting and spending process going forward. That&#8217;s what Republicans are for. That&#8217;s the transformational kind of changes that we can forge, if we all stand together,&#8221; he said.

A federal judge on Friday greenlit legal action from GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia against two California cities over rallies canceled in each in 2021.
Gaetz and Greene sued the cities of Anaheim and Riverside last year after multiple venues repeatedly canceled reservations by the lawmakers to hold America First rallies. The Republican lawmakers allege that the city officials pressured the venues to cancel in response to leftist backlash and that the cancellations violate free speech protections.
“Plaintiffs adequately allege that the Municipal Defendants delegated to their respective agents the authority to cancel the rally (and/or ratified the relevant conduct after the fact) and that the event cancellations were expressly predicated on viewpoint discrimination,” U.S. District Judge Hernan Vera, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 22-page <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.891532/gov.uscourts.cacd.891532.95.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion</a>.
Vera’s ruling is a procedural win for Gaetz and Greene, though not a total one. The lawmakers included in their complaint accusations against leftist groups, such as the NAACP, that Gaetz and Greene said illegally conspired with Anaheim and Riverside officials to stop the rallies. The judge rebuked the lawmakers for a “complete lack of any alleged facts to support a ‘meeting of the minds’ as required for a conspiracy claim.”
“Here, the Complaint — even charitably construed with all reasonable inferences drawn in Plaintiffs’ favor — is utterly devoid of any specifics plausibly alleging such an agreement,” Vera wrote.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1711286276343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0fBaWjje6IONihcMZ4R_jT">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
“The gravamen of Plaintiffs’ claims against the Nonprofit Defendants is, both legally and literally, a conspiracy theory that relies purely on conjecture,” the judge continued. “And without an unlawful conspiracy, all that is left to aver against the Nonprofit Defendants are the unremarkable allegations that they exercised their own First Amendment rights to lobby for the cancellation of the event. That is protected.”
In 2021, Gaetz and Greene were involved in booking three different venues across Orange and Riverside counties. Each venue <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-07-14/reps-matt-gaetz-and-marjorie-taylor-greene-file-lawsuit-alleging-free-speech-violations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">canceled</a> in succession as activists’ complaints inundated the venues in opposition to the rallies. After the last venue canceled within 24 hours of the scheduled event, Gaetz and Greene elected to hold a “peaceful protest against communism” outside Riverside City Hall.
Gaetz and Greene are represented by a legal team that includes John Eastman, a controversial lawyer who advised President Donald Trump near the end of his term. Eastman was indicted along with Trump in the Georgia election case for allegedly trying to overturn the results of the 2020 race in the state.

Matt Gaetz

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) blames the current House GOP dysfunction on Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Gingrich appeared on Fox News on Friday with host Laura Ingraham to bemoan the chaos that has fractured the House Republican caucus and which threatens to oust the second Republican speaker since October. He said trouble within the caucus has contributed to a series of early departures within the GOP that has made its slight majority even smaller.
“We shouldn’t underestimate how bad what Matt Gaetz did was for the whole system. He unleashed the demons. He went after somebody who had raised $480 million, had gained seats for three elections in a row. He drove Kevin McCarthy out of office,” Gingrich said, according to <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/newt-gingrich-blames-matt-gaetz-after-mtgs-motion-to-vacate-johnson-he-unleashed-the-demons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mediaite</a>. “From that point on, it has been a disaster.”
Gaetz led a revolt of a small group of Republican House members against former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in October, ousting the Republican leader from the speaker’s chair. The rebellion threw the House GOP into chaos for a short time, after which Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana was voted to take up the speaker’s gavel. At the time, Gaetz accused McCarthy of cutting secret deals with Democrats and undermining House conservatives.
“I don’t blame [House Speaker Mike Johnson.] I think Speaker Johnson has a hand that’s virtually impossible to play. And that’s where I think some of the people just make it worse,” Gingrich said.
Gingrich went on to say that the disarray among House Republicans emphasizes the need to elect former President Donald Trump back to the White House in November and give Trump and Republicans a large majority to govern in Congress.
“When I was speaker, I had a lot more ability than Johnson did to run the house, because I had a big enough majority, you could have five or 10 people who were crazy and you can still govern,” Gingrich said. “[Johnson] doesn’t have a one-vote majority. The fact is there are eight or 10 or 12 people who are going to get up every morning voting no. … So, he really has no majority at all.”
“You have to decide. Sooner or later you’re going to realize the bills have been worse since McCarthy was gone. The Democrats are in greater control. The hard-liners on the right have done nothing except make it worse. The Freedom Caucus right now has been a disaster in public policy terms. If you think your job in life is to grandstand and complain while the other team runs over you, they’re doing a great job,” the former speaker added.

Johnson is now facing threats of removal from within the House GOP caucus after he pushed through the House a $1.2 trillion omnibus spending package last week over dissent from House conservatives. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-files-motion-to-oust-mike-johnson-as-house-speaker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a motion to remove the speaker’s gavel from Johnson over his handling of the legislation. Greene <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-files-warning-160647542.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> her resolution was “more of a warning than a pink slip.”
Gaetz defended Johnson last week as House conservatives voiced discontent with the speaker.
“If we vacated this speaker, we’d end up with a Democrat,” Gaetz <a href="https://apnews.com/article/speaker-johnson-motion-vacate-marjorie-taylor-greene-3461bd8b95e718e178132ac16f36562a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a>. “When I vacated the last one, I made a promise to the country that we would not end up with a Democrat speaker. &#8230; I couldn’t make that promise again today.”

Washington D.C.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker on Friday.
Greene filed a motion to vacate the speaker as tensions flared over a vote on a $1.2 trillion spending bill, according to <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/03/22/marjorie-taylor-greene-mike-johnson-motion-vacate-chair/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Caller</a>. Johnson spearheaded negotiations over the bill, the last chance to avoid a government shutdown.
Greene spoke out against the bill from the House floor on Monday morning.
“No Republican in the House of Representatives can in good conscience vote for this bill. It is a complete departure from all of our principles,” Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1771191443828191442" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. She specifically mentioned provisions of the bill that deal with abortion and border security.
“This bill will absolutely destroy our majority, and will tell every single one of our voters that this majority is a failure. This is the bill that the White House cannot wait to sign into law,” she said.
Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/reesejgorman/status/1771198628704419968" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> did not mark the resolution privileged, a procedural tool that would then require House leadership to schedule a vote on the motion within two legislative days. She may mark the resolution as privileged later, however.
Johnson took over as House speaker after former California Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the role by a small group of disgruntled Republicans led by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz in October. Johnson took control of the fractured majority after several failed rounds of internal voting to find a Republican who could unite the conference.
Johnson expedited the spending omnibus through the House this week ahead of an expected government shutdown.

“We have to govern,” Johnson said, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/mike-johnson-ignores-gop-critics-signals-fast-vote-on-avoiding-shutdown-21795a85" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>. “We have to demonstrate that we can keep this thing together and keep the train on the tracks.”
The spending bill has riled conservatives in Congress and elicited threats against Johnson’s speakership from House conservatives.“This bill, if it passes, will likely determine who controls the House of Representatives,” Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/2933768/freedom-caucus-members-hint-ramifications-for-johnson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “And this bill will most certainly determine who the next speaker is.”

MTG Files Motion To Oust Mike Johnson As House Speaker

President Joe Biden was criticized by Democratic lawmakers on Thursday after he used the term “illegals” during his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/people-are-going-to-remember-that-screaming-daily-wire-hosts-slam-biden-over-angry-sotu-delivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State of the Union</a> address..
Biden referenced “illegals” after Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-botches-laken-rileys-name-during-sotu-shouting-match-with-mtg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressured him</a> into referencing Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, according to police. Biden flubbed Riley’s name during his speech, calling her “Lincoln Riley.” 
“Lincoln Riley!” Biden said. “An innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. That’s right. But how many of the thousands of people being killed by illegals? To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself. I understand.”
Biden went on to say that amnesty should be granted to millions of illegal immigrants in the country and said he needed Republicans to pass a Democrat-backed bill in order to have the ability to secure the border. Despite his push for leftist policies, many Democrats were not happy with his reference to “illegals.” 
“As a proud immigrant, I&#8217;m extremely disappointed to hear President Biden use the word ‘illegal,’” Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL) <a href="https://twitter.com/RepChuyGarcia/status/1765950131159859281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. 
“Disappointed that<a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS"> @POTUS</a> would use such dehumanizing right wing rhetoric to speak about immigrants tonight. No human being is illegal,” Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) <a href="https://twitter.com/DeliaRamirezIL/status/1765943756979634574">said</a>. 
“Let me be clear: No human being is illegal,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) posted on X after the speech. 
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, <a href="https://apnews.com/live/state-of-the-union-updates-watch#0000018e-1c25-d7d8-a7ee-bebf66ef0000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Associated Press that she was disappointed with Biden’s reference to illegal immigrants. “I wish he hadn’t engaged with Marjorie Taylor Greene and used the word illegal,” she said. 
 “Just like we should not be implementing Republican policy, we should not be repeating Republican rhetoric,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said. 
The Biden administration has previously <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-state-of-the-union-uses-term-illegal-immigrants-his-dhs-warned-against-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> to rid the government of any use of the term “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant.” Instead the administration has referred to the flood of illegal immigrants who have crossed into the United States in the last several years as “newcomers” or “undocumented.”

&#8220;This change is designed to encourage more inclusive language in the agency’s outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners, and the general public,&#8221; the Department of Homeland Security said of its decision to stop using the term “illegal alien.”
Biden has come under fire from Republicans over his handling of the border, and House Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/remind-him-of-the-crisis-he-created-house-gop-unites-to-send-biden-message-during-sotu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wore</a> pins that read “Stop The Biden Border Crisis” at the State of the Union.

U.S.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed a BBC reporter this week who was trying to get a sound bite out of her by bringing up one of Greene&#8217;s past controversies.
The interaction between Greene and the BBC’s Emily Maitlis at a Super Tuesday watch party at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort this week started off cordially, but quickly turned adversarial.
Maitlis asked Greene, who is a top ally of the former president, if Trump was closer to picking his VP nominee and whether Greene believed that she should be on the list.
&#8220;That&#8217;s the question everyone asks,&#8221; Greene responded. &#8220;And no, I don&#8217;t think Nikki Haley should be on the list. But of course President Trump will choose who he wants for VP.&#8221;
&#8220;Would you like to be on that list?&#8221; Maitlis pressed.
&#8220;He&#8217;s got a long list,&#8221; she responded. &#8220;I support President Trump in any way, any way he&#8217;d ask me. But I can assure you, it won&#8217;t be Nikki Haley.&#8221;
The reporter then shifted gears to talk about conspiracy theories.
&#8220;Can you tell me why so many people that support Donald Trump love conspiracy theories, including yourself?&#8221; Maitlis asked. &#8220;He seems to attract lots of conspiracy theorists.&#8221;
Greene fired back, &#8220;Well, let me tell you: You&#8217;re a conspiracy theorist and the Left and the media spreads more conspiracies. We like the truth. We like supporting our Constitution, our freedoms and America First.&#8221;
&#8220;What about Jewish space lasers?&#8221; Maitlis pressed. &#8220;Tell us about Jewish space lasers.&#8221;
Greene responded: &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you go talk about Jewish space lasers and really why don&#8217;t you f*** off? How bout that?&#8221;

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) announced on Thursday a bid to force a vote on censuring <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)</a>, a member of the leftist &#8220;Squad,&#8221; for remarks concerning her native Somalia.
Greene accused Omar, a Somali refugee who became a U.S. citizen, of acting as a &#8220;foreign agent&#8221; and making <a href="https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1753092167931732460" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;treasonous statements&#8221;</a> in a January 27 speech at a Minneapolis event about the U.S. government&#8217;s support for the interests of Somalia.
The resolution not only seeks to censure Omar but also remove her from the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Omar was previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-boot-ilhan-omar-off-foreign-affairs-committee-over-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked off</a> the Foreign Affairs Committee last year over comments she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/02/us/politics/ilhan-omar-house-committee-republicans.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made about Israel</a>.

Controversy over Omar&#8217;s speech largely rests on how the Democrat&#8217;s remarks <a href="https://www.startribune.com/fact-check-what-did-rep-ilhan-omar-say-in-widely-criticized-speech/600339956/?taid=65ba8ac684bcb10001ecf9f9&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;refresh=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to a group of Somali supporters</a> have been translated from Somali to English. She was speaking about a controversial port deal between Ethiopia and Somalia&#8217;s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/somalia-somaliland-ethiopia-coast-deal-a36449a0712249a59d74ad44d09d262c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breakaway region of Somaliland</a>. Some have called for her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/calls-grow-for-ilhan-omar-to-be-expelled-from-congress-after-she-says-shes-advocating-for-her-homeland-of-somalia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expulsion from Congress</a> while Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) <a href="https://twitter.com/GOPMajorityWhip/status/1752712810683904006" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded an ethics investigation</a> into Omar&#8217;s &#8220;appalling, Somalia-first comments.&#8221;
According to the interpretation in Greene&#8217;s censure resolution, Omar spoke about telling people how &#8220;the U.S. Government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do. They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia.&#8221;
Omar added, according to Greene&#8217;s resolution, &#8220;For as long as I am in the U.S. Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others. Sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.&#8221;
Omar insisted a viral video with a similar translation of her remarks was &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1751719238316724330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">completely off</a>.&#8221; The Democrat also reposted on X a <a href="https://twitter.com/AnalystSomalia/status/1752061355530571978" target="_blank" rel="noopener">different translation</a> of her speech published by Somalia analyst Abdirashid Hashi.
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/calls-grow-for-ilhan-omar-to-be-expelled-from-congress-after-she-says-shes-advocating-for-her-homeland-of-somalia">professional translation</a> obtained by The Daily Wire differed from the one put forward in the viral video, but confirmed the overall sentiment that she views promoting the needs of Somalia as a top priority for her congressional office. Omar clearly signaled that she is working in Congress to protect Somalia and make sure that “Somalia will never be in danger.”
&#8220;As long as I am in the U.S. Congress, no one will take a way in the Somali sea or water,&#8221; Omar said, according to the translation. &#8220;And I will not support the U.S. government in supporting other people to rob us. Rest assured that it will not happen, Minnesota. The lady that you sent to Congress knows about you, and she feels your interest like you all do.&#8221;
Throughout history, <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Discipline/Expulsion-Censure-Reprimand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27 members</a> have been successfully censured, which is a formal rebuke and a less severe form of punishment than expulsion, though there has been an uptick of late. House members who were censured last year included Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-censure-adam-schiff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Schiff (D-CA)</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI), and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-censure-bowman-over-fire-alarm-incident?%3Futm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY).
Just before Greene introduced her censure resolution, Omar <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4442166-greene-omar-censure-force-vote/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told The Hill</a>, &#8220;I have nothing to say about the insanity of that woman.&#8221; Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) <a href="https://twitter.com/cspan/status/1753095492932661556" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called out</a> what he described as a &#8220;frivolous censure resolution, designed to inflame and castigate and further divide us.&#8221;

MTG Aims To Force Vote On Censuring Ilhan Omar For Remarks On Somalia

MTG Aims To Force Vote On Censuring Omar

Congress is a waste of space and time. Congress should be clawing back its own authority from the executive branch and actually doing things from time to time.
But they&#8217;re not focused on what matters. Instead, they are focused on camera spots.
Yesterday, Hunter Biden showed up on the Hill. The goal for him in showing up on the Hill was to try to demonstrate Republicans would not allow him to testify openly; they want him to testify behind closed doors. Originally, the committee said he could pick to testify behind closed doors or to testify openly, and then they said they actually wanted him to do both. They want him to testify behind closed doors in order to testify openly.
Realistically, you really want people to testify behind closed doors because otherwise you end up with grandstanding.
So, what did we get yesterday from both sides of the aisle? Grandstanding, instead of actually doing the work of legislating.
Nancy Mace did her part, ripping Hunter Biden. She <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4400443-mace-spars-lawmakers-hunter-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began:</a>
<blockquote>My first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That’s my first question.” Then she continued: “Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege. Coming into the Oversight Committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here. Mr. Chairman, I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here and right now and go straight to jail.</blockquote>
This is the kind of stuff that gets sent out in fundraising emails and achieves absolutely nothing.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1882-the-final-countdown-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Not only that, but Republicans should stop accusing people of being beneficiaries of white privilege because the real privilege that Hunter Biden has is not that he is white. It&#8217;s that he&#8217;s Joe Biden&#8217;s son.
All you end up doing when you make white privilege references is opening the door to dolts like AOC to grandstand. And so she did, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xv7sIzTQ24">responding</a>:
<blockquote>I’m just going to address briefly, quickly, that moment about privilege and all of this that we&#8217;re seeing here. And it was a very beautiful speech by the gentlelady who, as she mentioned, helped lead on the majority, the now-majority, side on the Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee. But I think it&#8217;s so exemplary of the point that she also oversaw the elimination of Civil Rights Subcommittee on this committee, which really kind of gives the whole game away. We show up, we give speeches, we give flowery words, but, at the end of the day, participate in the structural erosion of the rights and representation of people that are marginalized: women, people of color, people that just need to see their due process and civil liberties protected in this country. </blockquote>
How is it possible that Congress gets worse with each and every passing year?
Then Hunter Biden stormed out of the room as Marjorie Taylor Greene was <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5101297/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-hunter-biden-coward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">yelling</a> at him: 
<blockquote>Apparently you&#8217;re afraid of my words. That’s too bad. And I think it&#8217;s clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republican women because he can&#8217;t even face my words, as I was about to speak to him. What a coward.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, on the Left side of the aisle, Jared Moskowitz was doing the same thing as he combated the Hunter Biden debacle by <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/moskowtiz-trolls-gop-with-huge-photo-of-trump-and-epstein-at-hearing/vi-AA1mLuF0#details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holding up a photo</a> of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
This is where we are. This is our Congress.
This is all great for our Republic, by the way. This is all just wonderful, and I&#8217;m so glad that we can do all this on camera and everybody can get their minute of face time. It&#8217;s great.
I know that they like to say things on camera and that&#8217;s wonderful. But they are elected officials on the public dime. So at a certain point, maybe they could actually pass legislation or hold someone actually accountable. Maybe. 
 
And what do they do for a living? I&#8217;m just wondering, at some point, if they will do something useful?
It&#8217;s all kayfabe. All Congress is at this point is a waste of space in kayfabe.
Congress is full of clowns in the circus.

This all demonstrates we have an irresponsible political party, a deeply irresponsible political class, and a broken congressional system. It is broken because the polarization of the parties makes it so.
No conversation actually takes place between the parties.
Instead, the goal of politicians is to eventually get out of politics and go make money elsewhere.
Something needs to be done about the political system of the legislature because it is full-scale, full-stop, a disaster area.

House Oversight Committee Considers Citing Hunter Biden For Contempt Of Congress

President Joe Biden&#8217;s embattled son Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, leading to a raucous scene as reporters tried to shout questions at him — including one intrepid reporter, who asked &#8220;what kind of crack&#8221; he preferred.
The younger Biden crashed a House Oversight Committee hearing — while members met to discuss a contempt citation against him for defying an earlier subpoena — and as he attempted to exit the building afterward, reporters swarmed him and shouted their questions in the hopes that they&#8217;d be acknowledged.

Hunter&#8217;s attorney Abbe Lowell attempted to quiet the crowd, promising that he would answer questions if they would just calm down and allow him to make a statement on behalf of his client.
No sooner had he made that request than one reporter shouted, &#8220;What kind of crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden?&#8221;
Biden was also asked, according to Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry, whether he was high right then.
&#8220;As Hunter Biden suddenly fled the contempt hearing over his subpoena defiance, ending a surprise appearance he staged with Democrats, reporters and others shouted a number of questions at him in the hallway, including &#8216;Hunter, are you on crack right now?'&#8221; Sperry posted via X.

Reporter Goes For Broke In Hunter Biden Melee: ‘What Kind Of Crack Do You Normally Smoke, Mr. Biden?’

Reporter Goes For Broke In Hunter Biden Melee: 'What Kind Of Crack Do You Normally Smoke, Mr. Biden?'

House Oversight Committee

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marjorie-taylor-greene" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> (R-GA) said on Wednesday that she plans to introduce legislation that would make it easier to combat <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/swatting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;swatting&#8221;</a> incidents that have impacted her and many others across the country.
The announcement came as Greene, also known as &#8220;MTG,&#8221; and other elected officials were targeted this holiday season by calls to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/law-enforcement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">law enforcement</a> involving fake reports of an emergency.
&#8220;The dangerous swatting harassment continues, as tonight, one of my family members was swatted at their house,&#8221; Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1740193293965902021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said in a post</a> to X. &#8220;I will be introducing legislation to make it much easier for law enforcement to arrest and prosecutors to prosecute these criminals.&#8221;
Swatting incidents can already lead to <a href="https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47557#_Toc135223786" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charges</a>, but they have become increasingly commonplace with the <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/the-crime-of-swatting-fake-9-1-1-calls-have-real-consequences1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rise of technology</a> that makes it easier to trick people. <a href="https://www.13abc.com/2023/12/28/multiple-schools-hospitals-synagogues-targeting-swatting-hoaxes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Schools, religious institutions</a>, hospitals, online gamers, and public figures are among the many targets of the hoax calls. In <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/la-man-arrested-swatting-incident-led-police-killing/story?id=52057251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some</a> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/14/us/swatting-sentence-casey-viner/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cases</a>, the result can be deadly. The FBI has formed a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/fbi-creates-national-database-track-swatting/story?id=100527427" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national database</a> to help track swatting.
This week, multiple elected officials reportedly became victims of swatting calls, including <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/12/26/boston-mayor-michelle-wus-home-swatted-on-christmas-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/second-house-republican-gets-swatted-on-christmas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY)</a>, and <a href="https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/crime/2023/12/28/rick-scott-reports-swatting-attempt-at-florida-home-what-is-swatting/72046922007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)</a>.
&#8220;Last night, while at dinner with my wife, cowards &#8216;swatted&#8217; my home in Naples. These criminals wasted the time &amp; resources of our law enforcement in a sick attempt to terrorize my family,&#8221; Scott said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/SenRickScott/status/1740355797190934542" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post to X</a> on Thursday. The senator also said he and his wife Ann wanted to thank local law enforcement &#8220;for all they do to keep us safe.&#8221;
In a post to X on Monday, Greene announced that she had just been <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1739312209996497293" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;swatted&#8221; for &#8220;like the 8th time&#8221;</a> while celebrating the Christmas holiday with her family.
Police in Rome, Georgia, said someone in Rome, New York, called the suicide hotline claiming to have shot his girlfriend at Greene&#8217;s address and warning he would kill himself next, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/police-confirm-christmas-swatting-incident-marjorie-taylor-greenes-hou-rcna131131" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>. A Rome police spokesperson <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-not-the-first-incident-marjorie-taylor-greene-swatted-at-her-home-on-christmas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said her department</a> called Greene&#8217;s security team and a police response to the congresswoman&#8217;s home was cancelled at their behest.
“My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this,” Greene <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1739312209996497293" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a> in her post to X. “I appreciate them so much and my family and I are in joyous spirits celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ!”
