Marjorie Taylor Greene

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell has a critical opinion of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) sense of loyalty to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

In fact, the news anchor went a step further insisting McCarthy had earned “another entry in the record books for the strangest and most stupidly phrased things said."

U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) revealed on Tuesday that the mysterious half-million dollars he had reported to the Federal Election Commission as a personal loan of his personal funds to his political campaign wasn’t actually from his personal funds.

The Daily Beast reports that Tuesday afternoon, “Santos’ political operation filed a flurry of amended campaign finance reports, telling the feds, among other things, that a $500,000 loan he gave to his campaign didn’t, in fact, come from his personal funds as he’d previously claimed.”

The path for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to follow through on his promise to boot various Democratic House members off their committees was complicated on Tuesday when, according to Axios, one member of his caucus came out against the idea: Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz.

"Spartz, in a statement, cited her votes in 2021 against kicking Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) off their committees," reported Andrew Solender. "'Two wrongs do not make a right. Speaker Pelosi took unprecedented actions last Congress to remove Reps. Greene and Gosar from their committees without proper due process,' she said. 'As I spoke against it on the House floor two years ago, I will not support this charade again.'" This comes after Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and David Valadao (R-CA) also expressed opposition to McCarthy's plan.

Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is not happy with Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) after the Louisiana Republican this week compared him to Glenn Close's deranged stalker character in the movie "Fatal Attraction."

In an interview with reporters on Monday, Kennedy said that Santos was "nutty as a fruitcake" over his serial fabrications of every aspect of his life.

Republicans have fought to have two Democrats removed from the House Intelligence Committee, and he's seeking to remove a third from all of her committees as well as from the House floor. Now they're fighting back.

Speaking to MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell on Monday, Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), all of whom are facing expulsion from their committees. A House vote removed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committees after she spoke at a white supremacist conference. Ten Republicans joined in the vote to remove her. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made some concessions with Greene for her support of him for the Speaker, Schiff alleges.

Antifa are "the fascists" rather than the far-right demonstrators they are fighting, argued Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday evening — in part, she said, because they support drag queens.

The remarks came in an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, as she discussed a protest in Georgia against a new police training center that turned violent, with activists torching a police car and an officer fatally shooting one of the demonstrators.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been drawing vehement criticism for allowing some of the most extreme members of his caucus, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, to have prime committee assignments. And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is calling McCarthy out for having an “apparent double standard.”

Punchbowl News has obtained a copy of a letter Jeffries sent McCarthy on January 21. Jeffries finds it ridiculous that McCarthy is trying to oust Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee while giving Rep. George Santos committee assignments.

Republican rising star Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is under increasing fire for wholeheartedly endorsing now-Rep. George Santos (R-NY) and encouraging GOP donors to fund his campaign -- only for them to find out they sent money to a fraud of epic proportions.

Santos is currently being buffeted by daily revelations about a startling number of lies about his background -- from his religion to the supposed cause of death of his mother due to 9/11 and questions about where his money is coming from -- and is now facing multiple investigations as he maintains his seat in the House.

"Rebel forces" aligned with former President Donald Trump are jumping into the race for Republican National Committee chair — threatening to upend things as longtime GOP leader Ronna McDaniel is fighting to stay in power against a challenge from Trump attorney Harmeet Dhillon, reported the Associated Press on Monday.

The vote will be held by the end of this week, settling a fight that has been brewing in GOP leadership for several months.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) forged an unbreakable bond with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during his hectic leadership fight, according to friends.

The Georgia Republican was widely seen as a political liability and a threat to his leadership when she arrived in Congress two years ago, but multiple sources told the New York Times they had formed a strong alliance as McCarthy fought to be elected speaker of a narrow GOP House majority.

For years, Republicans weaponized promises by criminal justice activists to "defund the police" against various Democrats, even those who never advocated for doing it themselves.

Now, warned Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) in an article for The Bulwark released on Monday, the Freedom Caucus is cultivating a plan of their own that would effectively "defund the police" — or at least, forms of federal law enforcement they don't like.

On Sunday's edition of This Week, United States Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) defended House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) for placing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) on the Homeland Security and Oversight Committees despite her history of peddling conspiracy theories about the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks.

ABC moderator Martha Raddatz asked McCaul:

With Donald Trump expected to finally leave Mar-a-Lago and kick off his 2024 presidential campaign next week, the Washington Post reports it might be a lonely affair as fellow Republican officeholders are begging off from attending in a key conservative state.

The former president will be making an appearance at the State House in Columbia, South Carolina -- a state that is home to two potential rivals for the GOP nomination: Sen. Tim Scott and former Gov. Nikki Haley.
