Providing for Consideration of H. Res. Removing A Certain Member From Certain Standing Committees of the House of Representatives
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H. Res. 72, to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee post.
Congresswoman Greene is part of the cult conspiracy mindset that has infected segments of our American society and is ripping our Nation apart.
The wild conspiracy theories that QAnoners invent are, in essence, outrageous lies. Even more alarming, they are lies backed by the threat of violence.
Yes, Representative Greene and her QAnon adherents are ready to defend their deranged lies with violence. They have expressed a desire to assassinate Speaker Pelosi and to publicly execute those who disagree with their malignant lies. They have even expressed a passionate desire to overthrow our constitutional democracy.
Congresswoman Greene indicated before last year's election that, if Donald Trump lost, Americans may need to reclaim freedom with the price of blood.
Marjorie Greene has harassed a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, calling him a coward and proclaiming the massacre was staged as a plot to pass more gun laws.
Yet her Republican colleagues believe she has the proper credentials and principles to serve on the Education and Labor Committee. Some will play both sides, but that is a false equivalence.
I think it is clear that we need to draw the line at Jewish space lasers and calling for political assassinations, not policy differences. At least with one xenophobic racist, both sides were able to put country over party. The party of Honest Abe can no longer be honest with itself.
Marjorie Greene and her fellow conspiracy theorists have saturated our Nation with lies. It is time to turn the tables and start talking about truth for a change.
Gandhi liked to say: ``Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.''
Mr. Speaker, I urge everyone to join in defending truth. Stand up for truth even if you are alone.
