“He Has No Values.”

 

“Host Chuck Todd asked Rep. Adam Schiff (D-California) during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press to respond to Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (R-California) suggestion after the Democratic House voted to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) from committee assignments that a future GOP majority could take similar action against individual Democrats.

“Schiff replied that he was unconcerned about McCarthy’s comments: ‘Kevin McCarthy stands for nothing except the perpetuation of his own position. He has no values, and in my view cares about little except for hoping to be speaker one day, God forbid,’ he said. ‘If members of either party are threatening other members of the body and suggesting they be executed, if they are casting doubt on 9/11 or school shootings, if they’re heckling victims of crime like Marjorie Taylor Greene did with the victim of the Parkland shooting … they should be expelled from their committees, whatever party they are in,’ the Democratic congressman said.

“Schiff added that he was not worried about setting a precedent that could be used against Democrats ‘as long as we hold the same standard. You have members that are threatening to execute each other, and they should be removed from their committees,’ he added, referencing comments Greene ‘liked’ on Facebook calling for Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s [D-California] execution” (The Hill).
