Adam Schiff tells The Independent that is ‘another promise by McCarthy to try to gain support from people that were not supporting him anyway’

Mr McCarthy has vowed to remove Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in one of his first major moves as House speaker. He also said he wanted to kick Representatives Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both of California, from the House Intelligence Committee.

“Swalwell can’t get a security clearance in the private sector. I’m not going to give him a government security clearance,” Mr McCarthy told Punchbowl News. “Schiff has lied too many times to the American public. He should not be on Intel.”

The three House Democrats brushed off the newly installed speaker’s threats to remove them from their committees.

Republicans have long disliked Mr Schiff for his role as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee during the probe into Russia’s influence on the 2016 presidential campaign and any ties between former president Donald Trump’s campaign.

Republicans have called for Mr Swalwell’s removal from the committee ever since Axios reported in late 2020 that a Chinese intelligence operative targeted him, took part in a fundraising activity and placed at least one intern in his office. Mr Swalwell reportedly cut off all ties to her and nobody accused him of any wrongdoing in an investigation.

In addition, Mr McCarthy said he wants to remove Ms Omar from her committees after she made comments about Israel and its influence in the United States, which many, including some Democrats, have interpreted as antisemitic.

But Mr Schiff brushed off the threats last week during the delayed vote for speaker.

“You know, that was, I think, another promise by McCarthy to try to gain support from people that were not supporting him anyway. But it shows why I think he has no respect from his own conference or the American people,” Mr Schiff told The

Independent last week.

Mr McCarthy’s push to boot members from committees comes after the House voted to remove Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar from their committees. The House voted to remove Ms Greene for a series of inflammatory racist remarks and promoting conspiracy theories before she won her congressional seat.

The House voted to remove Mr Gosar from his committees after he tweeted a video of the anime Attack on Titan with his head photoshopped onto a character that killed a character with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s head photoshopped on.

But last week, Mr Swalwell brushed off Mr McCarthy’s threat on Friday shortly before the House voted for speaker for the fifteenth time.

Watch 'Mulan' with your kid, wind up in prison? What will Arizona lawmakers think of next?
...
Senate Bill 1698 would criminalize anyone who exposes a child to a drag performance.

Take your daughter to see “Hairspray” and, by my read of the bill, you’d be guilty of a class 4 felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison. You’d also have to register as a sex offender.
...
This bill is brought to you by Sen. Justine Wadsack, R-Tucson, a member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus.

Freedom, that is, unless you allow your child to watch “Mulan,” in which case you’d be guilty of a “dangerous crime against children” if said child is under the age of 15.

I realize there’s political gold these days in demonizing drag but isn’t this just a tad … I don’t know … full-on, flat-out bonkers?

This was an opportunity to kill a black.

They look racist and racist devils don’t care about black folks and cops know they have the green light to kill blacks Without impunity

They want to exterminate you and the DA, judges, responders, media, all of them are obviously in on the plan.

Politicians do NOTHING!!! Yet we're still voting & paying our taxes, we're ALL being duped!!!! It's them AGAINST us!!!! SMFH

Like I say White cops don't get charged unless you have millions of peoples protesting. Black cops get charged right because they don't want them on the force anyway.

Instead of using "Reparations" use Reparative Justice

Members of the Asian American community in Wausau, Wisconsin, are outraged that the school district has put a teacher it admits used racist and sexist language back in the classroom.
...
An open letter signed by Asian American leaders in Wausau—which is 81 percent white according to census data, but has a large Hmong-Lao population—said they were outraged by the reinstatement of high school band teacher Robert Perkins.

“Despite corroborating statements confirming Mr. Perkins’ use of anti-Asian, racist slurs such as ‘chink’ and ‘ching chong,’ as well as statements from other witnesses that Mr. Perkins’ conduct caused unease among students from protected classes, the WSD investigator still found no grounds for a determination of harassment,” the letter reads.

The father of the boy who complained said his son was so upset he had not been in school for two weeks.

“When I saw it in my son’s eyes as he’s crying on the floor, it broke my heart that a grown man can do this to my son,” Tha Vongphakdy told WAOW.
