Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) vowed revenge on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) after he kicked the Democrat off of the House Intelligence Committee.
>>"Kevin McCarthy just kicked me and @RepSwalwell off the Intelligence Committee. This is petty, political payback for investigating Donald Trump,” Schiff tweeted. “If he thinks this will stop me, he will soon find out just how wrong he is. I will always defend our democracy.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) was also removed from the committee by McCarthy, a move in which Democrats believe is “political punishment.”
In a letter, the House Speaker explained his decision to Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, saying that keeping the two on their committees would pose a national security threat to the U.S.
>>“The misuse of this panel during the 116th and 117th Congresses severely undermined its primary national security and oversight missions — ultimately leaving our nation less safe,” McCarthy said in his letter.
