Kevin McCarthy said if GOP retakes House, MTG and Paul Gosar may get 'better' committee assignments

WASHINGTON – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said if he becomes speaker of the House next year, he would reinstate Reps. Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene to committee assignments they lost.

Gosar was removed from his posts after he shared a violent doctored video of an attack on a fellow lawmaker and President Joe Biden, and Greene lost her assignments after she espoused multiple dangerous conspiracy theories.

But McCarthy, R-Calif., said Thursday if Republicans take control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections and he was voted in to be the chamber's speaker, he would reinstate them.

“They’ll have committees. They may have other committee assignments,” said McCarthy, R-Calif., during a news conference. He then went a step farther, saying, "They may have better committee assignments.”

This is the face of the Republican party.
