Gosar was eliminated for posting a parody cartoon exhibiting an anime model of himself attacking President Biden and Consultant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. No severe individual took it as a profound menace. As a result of it was a Japanese cartoon. With swords.

However Democrats, together with Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, voted to take away him from committee. Kinzinger now works for CNN and Cheney was defeated in her major.

Greene was faraway from committee assignments over social media posts made prior to her election to workplace.

I used to be the primary to say Impeach Biden & the primary to introduce articles of impeachment.
