They have abandoned any interest in the issues they campaigned on (inflation, crime, immigration, abortion, etc.) in favor of advancing an agenda of petty and puerile revenge against President Biden, his administration, his family, and his party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55460\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">House Republicans Openly Promise to Abuse Power and Impose One-Party, Totalitarian Rule<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sunday on Fox News, the GOP&#8217;s presumptive incoming <em>&#8220;leader,&#8221;<\/em> Kevin McCarthy, was pitched softballs by Maria Bartiromo, Fox&#8217;s Senior Trump-Fluffer. However, Bartiromo did put some pressure on McCarthy to make good on a prior promises to Kremlinize the House&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Bartiromo:<\/strong> What are you gonna do in terms of these Democrats that you have on such important committees? You&#8217;ve talked in the past about removing Ilhan Omar, You&#8217;ve talked about removing Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell. Will you deliver?<br \/>\n<strong>McCarthy:<\/strong> Yes I will. I&#8217;ll keep that promise. One thing I said from the very beginning, Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector. Why would we ever give him a security clearance in the secrets to America? So I will not allow him to be on Intel. You have Adam Schiff who had lied to the American public time and again. We will not allow him to be on the Intel committee either. And you look at Congresswoman Omar, her anti-Semitic comments that have gone forward, we\u2019re not going to allow her to be on foreign affairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kevin McCarthy says on Fox News that as Speaker he plans to prevent Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, and Eric Swalwell from serving on committees <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gekzYBRXSj\">pic.twitter.com\/gekzYBRXSj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1594349396652613632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So McCarthy is openly flaunting his fidelity to neo-fascism with the promise to oppress members of the Democratic Party. His stated justifications for doing so are, of course, all utterly preposterous.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Swalwell, McCarthy is outright lying. There has never been any denial of a security clearance for Swalwell, or any reason why he wouldn&#8217;t be granted one. McCarthy is making veiled references  to debunked allegations that Swalwell had a <em>&#8220;relationship&#8221;<\/em> with a suspected Chinese spy. That was a Fox News fallacy that was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/kevin-mccarthy-eric-swalwell-intelligence-committee\/2021\/03\/18\/8b8a97e0-881f-11eb-82bc-e58213caa38e_story.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">proven to be false<\/a><\/strong>. But that didn&#8217;t stop McCarthy from trying (and failing) to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow-show\/maddowblog\/why-house-gop-s-stunt-targeting-eric-swalwell-so-ridiculous-n1261581\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">boot him from the Intel Committee<\/a><\/strong> in March of last year.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Schiff, McCarthy is making totally unfounded accusations of lying, but naturally, he can&#8217;t provide any example of it. The truth is that McCarthy is just upset with Schiff because Schiff keeps telling the truth about Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Notably, Schiff was the lead manager in the first Trump impeachment, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43962\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for which he gave an inspiring closing argument<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With regard to Omar, McCarthy is simply exhibiting the bigotry that is the hallmark of the Republican Party. What McCarthy, the GOP, and Fox News have asserted is anti-Semitism is actually just Omar criticizing the Israeli government, which many Israeli and American Jews do without being insulted as anti-Semites.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff was later interviewed on ABC&#8217;s <em>&#8220;This Week&#8221;<\/em> by Jonathan Karl. He was asked about McCarthy&#8217;s yearning to oust him. Which led to this exchange&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Karl:<\/strong> One of things that Kevin McCarthy has said is that he&#8217;s gonna strip you of your position on the House Intelligence Committee.<br \/>\n<strong>Schiff:<\/strong> &#8220;I suspect he will do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene wants him to do. He&#8217;s a very weak leader of this conference, meaning that he will adhere to the wishes of the lowest common denominator, and if that lowest common denominator wants to remove people from committees, that&#8217;s what they&#8217;ll do. It&#8217;s going to be chaos with Republican leadership. And, sadly, that kind of crazy caucus has grown among the Republicans. Many Republicans who won primaries in deeply red districts are coming to Congress, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, and it&#8217;s a tragedy for the country.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Asked about House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy&#39;s promise to kick him off the Intelligence committee, Democratic Rep.
