A Democratic lawmaker is introducing a resolution to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress.
“I believe some of my Republican colleagues, and one in particular, wish harm upon this legislative body. I’m not saying this for shock value. It’s the conclusion I drew after a member of Congress advocated violence against our peers, the speaker, and our government,” Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) said on Friday.
He added, “I take no joy in introducing this resolution, but any member who incites political violence and threatens our lives must be expelled and I’ll do everything I can in my power to protect our democracy and keep all of my colleagues safe.”
