Kevin McCarthy and the Republican Party just did what they’ve threatened for the last two years.
They removed me from the House Intelligence Committee where I have served as Chairman and the top Democrat for years.
This is political retribution for my leading the impeachment of Donald Trump, pure and simple, and a dangerous effort to go after anyone who holds them accountable. It also turns the Intelligence Committee into a political plaything for their right-wing supporters.
John, I really need you with me to help respond to this baseless attack on my ability to serve my constituents and the American people.
I’ll have much more to say soon. But for now, thanks for standing with me — because it’s not just a personal attack on me. It’s an attack on accountability and effective oversight.
