Rep. Austin Scott Statement on Resolution to Remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congressional Committees

Press Release

Today, Congressman Austin Scott (GA-08) released the below statement upon the House of Representatives passing a resolution to remove Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from her committee assignments:

"I want to stress that the past remarks of Rep. Greene do not represent the values of the Republican Conference, nor of my home state of Georgia. This is a sentiment I expressed back in the summer when Rep. Greene was seeking election, and it is a sentiment I still hold today. If Democrats would have put a resolution on the floor to condemn her remarks, I and many Republicans in Congress would have supported it. But that's not what this is about. Removing her from her committees is an attempt for Democrats to seize further control in the House. In the past, the majority party has never attempted to remove a member of the minority party from their committees, and it is a dangerous precedent that will have far reaching implications for years to come," said Rep. Scott.
