MTG has new committee assignments.
After being stripped of her committee assignments by Democrats for inflammatory statements, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is back in action on both the House Homeland Security Committee and the House Oversight Committee.
The assignments will have to be approved by House Leadership.
From The Hill:
The House Homeland Security Committee, chaired by Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.), is expected to put sharp focus on the U.S.-Mexico border and plans to have two committee staff members working from the border. Greene has called to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejando Mayorkas over management of the border.
In a statement on her assignment to the Homeland Security committee, Greene said that the panel “will investigate the Biden administration’s violations of our laws and fund (and defund) programs to defend our border and American sovereignty.”
The House Oversight Committee is also set to dive into border issues, as well as investigate the business dealings of President Biden’s son Hunter Biden and the origins of COVID-19. ChairJames Comer (R-Ky.) will lead that panel.
“Joe Biden, be prepared. We are going to uncover every corrupt business dealing, every foreign entanglement, every abuse of power, and every check cut for The Big Guy,” Greene said in a statement. “And it’s not just the Biden Crime Family, the GOP majority will investigate every bit of government being used to abuse the American people. Every three and four letter agency will now have to answer to Republican oversight, not the rubber-stamp of Democrat rule.”
