Dems dissed: Rep. Ilhan Omar, RepAdamSchiff, and RepSwalwell confirmed to lose powerful positions
McCarthy has long vowed to remove some Democrats from their top positions in retaliation for the removal of some Republicans from their committee assignments in the last Congress, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , who was stripped of all her committees in 2021. As part of his plans, the Republican leader has specifically targeted Reps. Ilhan Omar , Adam Schiff , and Eric Swalwell .
“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,” McCarthy told Fox News at the time. “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.”
Schiff has also been a target of the GOP over the last several years after he led hearings for former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, during which the former president was accused of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Schiff has continued to elicit the ire of the GOP with his position on the Jan. 6 committee, an investigation Republicans have denounced as politically motivated.
