Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) objected to efforts by House Democrats to strip House Republicans of committee assignments:

“Today the House Democrats in an unprecedented partisan step removed a Republican House member from her committee assignments for rhetoric and social media posts they disagree with. By removing her from her from her committee they are silencing the voices and over-ruling the will of her constituents. Rep. Greene secured 75% of the vote in November and it is an abuse of power to deny her the same rights and privileges of all other Members of Congress. Sadly it seems to be par for the course under Speaker Pelosi, who on January 3rd used her six-seat majority to take away a right of Republicans to offer a final amendment to legislation on the House floor – a right that had been in place for over 100 years. On week two, she led a second impeachment of President Trump and this week she also forced a partisan fiscally irresponsible budget through the Congress that will add $13 trillion to the national debt. Her calls for ‘unity’ ring hollow with partisan acts like these.”
