It was still impossible to identify the biggest outrage of the week in American politics last week. As there was no clear line in history between the Dark Ages and The Renaissance it has become apparent there will be no clear demarcation between America’s Dark Age (a/k/a the Trump era) and the American Renaissance. That said the most despicable actions seemed to center around the Republican House Caucus and I’d like to analyze that a bit today.
The GOP House caucus held a closed door meeting with two items on its agenda: considering disciplining Liz Cheney by removing her from her leadership position and disciplining Marjorie Taylor-Greene by removing her from her committee assignments.
Cheney’s “sin” was voting to impeach Donald Trump; Taylor-Greene’s was, among other outrages, advocating the assassination of the Speaker of the House. The caucus did nothing about Greene other than many giving her a standing ovation. Cheney retained her position by a secret ballot vote of 145-61.
The next day the full House took up the Taylor-Greene matter and stripped her of her committee assignments. Only 11 Republicans voted to remove her from those committees. The House vote was 230-199, all 199 (listed below) were Republicans.
If we couple the Taylor-Greene and impeachment public votes there are only nine who voted both to impeach Trump and strip Taylor-Greene of her committee assignments. Now compare that with the 61 who opposed Cheney in the secret ballot. My only conclusion is that about 50 current House Republicans are cowards and about 130 are crazy. Somewhere around 10 (or 5% of the GOP caucus) are neither.
Whether crazy, cowardly or a combination of both they are dangerous and only the voters can remove them. Unless they are retiring all of the 199 who felt advocating the assassination of the Speaker of the House is just fine are listed below.
