John—I wanted to make sure you saw this email. House Minority
Leader Kevin McCarthy must expel Marjorie Taylor Greene, who continues to
be racist, xenophobic, antisemitic, and Islamophobic. [ [link removed] ]Will you join

Dear MoveOn member, 

There is no place in Congress for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene,
who most recently made an abhorrent comment comparing the mask mandate in
the U.S. House to the Nazi program to exterminate Jewish people during the
Holocaust.^1 There is no place in Congress for her racism, Islamophobia,
antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and attacks against survivors of gun
violence. There is no place in any workplace, much less the halls of
Congress, for those who harass, intimidate, and spew hate at their
colleagues.

[ [link removed] ]Sign my petition: Tell House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to expel
Rep. Greene from Congress, now!

McCarthy has refused to take disciplinary actions against Greene and voted
against removing her from committee assignments, which passed with
bipartisan support despite his opposition.^2,3 Instead, he continues to
embrace members like Greene while ousting Representative Liz Cheney from
House GOP leadership for telling the truth and calling out Trump’s Big Lie
that the election was stolen.

McCarthy and the GOP's silence in the face of Greene's unconscionable
conduct isn't just a bad look; it's a threat to other lawmakers. Her
recent threats against Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have caused
AOC to fear for her physical safety and hire more security, and
Representative Jimmy Gomez, who introduced the resolution to expel Greene,
reports receiving death threats from Greene's supporters.^4,5

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not an outlier. She is a perfect encapsulation
of today's Republican Party. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is
failing his duty to reprimand Greene for her heinous words and deeds. He
must expel Greene from Congress immediately.

And Rep. Greene doesn’t just spew hate. She directly threatens her
colleagues with it. Workplace safety is a growing concern across America.
Hate can be lethal. There should be no tolerance for anyone who threatens
colleagues. This goes for Congress as well—if not more so, since members
of Congress are supposed to be national leaders.

The list of reasons why Rep. Greene should be expelled from Congress goes
on and on, but here are a few: 

* She has repeatedly publicly supported calls to execute prominent
Democratic politicians, including liking a Facebook comment that
called for Nancy Pelosi to get "a bullet to the head." In other posts,
Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who were alleged to
be part of the "deep state" working against Trump.^6

* She’s endorsed conspiracy theories claiming that 9/11 was an inside
job and that the Sandy Hook shooting—where 26 elementary school
children and teachers were massacred—was staged.^7 

* She is Islamophobic and antisemitic and suggested the 2018
midterms—when our nation’s first two Muslim congresswomen were
elected—was part of “an Islamic invasion of our government,” and she
thinks "Jewish space lasers" are responsible for a wildfire in
California.^8,9

* She was one of the many members of Congress who voted to object to the
election results after the deadly, white supremacist attack on our
Capitol and our democracy.

* On January 12, after the insurrection and after results of the
election had been certified by all 50 states, by the Electoral
College, and by Congress, she tweeted, “President Trump will remain in
office.”^10

* She has repeatedly targeted, threatened, and harassed other members of
Congress, including Congresswomen Cori Bush and Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez. 

* Hundreds of posts, likes, and comments showing Rep. Greene inciting
violence by spewing baseless conspiracy theories that have endangered
the lives of many continue to resurface across the internet.

And that’s just scratching the surface. Our country and democracy are in
danger every minute that Rep. Greene is still a member of Congress.
McCarthy can change this. This is why we must come together to make sure
McCarthy expels Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress, now.
