House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced no disciplinary actions against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a statement released as he met with his caucus.
During the meeting, he told members he did not want to remove Greene from her committee assignment, according to a senior GOP source in the room.
In the statement, McCarthy condemned her incendiary remarks, but offered no disciplinary actions.
“Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference,” the statement read. “I condemn those comments unequivocally. I condemned them in the past. I continue to condemn them today. This House condemned QAnon last Congress and continues to do so today.”
McCarthy met with Greene on Tuesday, and the GOP leader said he gave her the same message.
“I made this clear to Marjorie when we met. I also made clear that as a member of Congress we have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard than how she presented herself as a private citizen. Her past comments now have much greater meaning. Marjorie recognized this in our conversation. I hold her to her word, as well as her actions going forward.”

what’s with the four anti-semites in the squad – why ae they allowed to say anything they want against America
In the Senate the Republicans need to get at least one Democratic Senator to flip parties.
She (and certain other members of congress too) deserve disciplinary action but there first has to be a general guideline of what people in congress get disciplined for. After the fact discipline for one congresswoman only is a bad precedent.
This is very troubling. An open Anti-semite, No disciplinary actions?
This is a wake up call for us, we arent loved by EITHER party.
I doubt she is any more an Esav than anyone else in that plenary. Perhaps less so than at least some. She has in the past stated she believes in some strange things about which some people libel certain Jews, not all Jews.
The much more relevant question with regards to antisemitism is how she treats Jews in her district and elsewhere.
