The Democratic-led House Thursday voted mostly along party lines to remove Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her two committees following a charged floor debate rife with finger-pointing and threats of repercussions.

The vote was 230-199 with 11 Republicans joining every Democrat in stripping her from the Education & Labor Committee and the Budget Committee for a litany of incendiary, conspiratorial and menacing social media posts before she was elected.

The floor debate in a chamber already riven by division and mistrust turned raw as lawmakers took turns arguing not just about Greene's particular conduct but what it said about House members who demanded – or objected to – her punishment.
