MAJOR UPDATE: This post is wrong. Click here for actual vote on removing MTG from her committees
Democrats voted to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of all her committee assignments today after she gave a great speech renouncing her conspiracy theories of the past and speaking with regret about them:

The only good thing from all of this is that it appears to have united the Republican Party. All of them stood with Greene and none of them voted with Democrats to oust her.
I’m honestly a little surprised because I assumed a handful of Republicans would vote with Democrats. They almost always do on issues like this – just look at Liz Cheney. Even Mitch McConnell blasted her from the Senate. But I guess on this day, even with someone who the media and Democrats have tried to make as toxic as possible, they all voted together with Greene.
UPDATE: Actually this was the final vote. Above was the question preceding to the final vote. My bad. It’s pretty much the same though:
