The orange doesn’t fall far from the tree. Yes, we’re speaking of the Big Orange Liar and his tree, and how he fundraises off of anything and anything. And sycophant Kevin McCarthy is the fruit of the same poisoned grove.

Today we learn that McCarthy is considering keeping Eric Swalwell, Ilhan Omar and Adam Schiff off of committees, when they’ve done nothing to deserve such treatment. But in his mind, they have. They didn’t bend the knee or kiss the ring at the right time in the last Congress, ergo they will pay in this one. Raw Story:

“He put out an email today, a fundraising email saying, he’s doing it because of our antics and he was trying to raise money off of it, which shows this is just about vengeance,” Swalwell told Raw Story on Wednesday at the Capitol.

McCarthy claims that Democrats “set the precedent,” which is false. In the past Congress, the full House voted to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from the Education Committee after she alleged a Jewish Space Laser was creating the California wildfires. Eleven Republicans also joined Democrats in the vote that ended with 230 to 199 voting to remove her.

“I you didn’t like the precedent are you saying that two wrongs make a right?” Swalwell asked. “It’s only about vengeance.”

McCarthy making the unilateral decision could set a precedent that could put future Republicans in a difficult position and give Democrats the freedom to kick a member off a committee without a vote.

‘If you’re a Republican member on the Intel Committee now, he just, basically guaranteed that your seat could be at risk in the new Congress,” said Swalwell.

The larger picture here is the one to focus on. It doesn’t matter what’s right or wrong anymore. Any action which is taken is taken on the basis of theatrics and money. This is the Culture War Congress. It may go down in history as the first Culture War Congress. I pray it would also be noted as the last. But maybe not. Maybe this is where we’re going each time the political pendulum swings, as it always does, and the GOP is in power.
