Within the past week, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has seen a great deal of backlash for her propagation of conspiracy theories that many of her colleagues in government could no longer ignore in the wake of the riot that struck the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
It is in this context that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell saw fit to condemn such theories as "loony lies" that function as a "cancer" for the Republican Party. It also prompted Democrats within the House of Representatives to draft a resolution that would formally remove Greene from all of her committee appointments.
And on the evening of February 5, that resolution came to an official vote.
