MSNBC’s Chris Hayes said Tuesday that far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had “let the truth slip about what really motivated” serial liar Rep. George Santos (RN.Y.) to step down from his House committee assignments.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) “tried to make it seem like resignation was all Santos’ idea and that it was all about the ongoing investigations into his campaign finances,” Hayes noted.
Hayes then aired footage of Greene saying, “He just felt like there was so much drama, really, about the situation, and especially what we are doing to remove (Minnesota Democratic Rep.) Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. .”
“Oh yeah. Of course, there you have it,” Hayes said, suggesting that Republicans “wanted to clear the decks, get rid of this nasty argument.”
“So now they can kick Congressman Omar out of the State Department for no valid reason, because George Santos, who should never have been put on a committee in the first place, really, if you think about it, his assignments,” he continued. “All the while insisting that he has done nothing wrong.”
