Ilhan Omar, AOC, Eric Swalwell and countless Congressional Democrats have said or done things that warranted being dropped from committee assignments.

McCarthy tried to give Greene options, according to a person familiar with their talk: She could denounce QAnon and apologize publicly for espousing hurtful conspiracy theories and endorsing violence on Democrats. She could remove herself from the panel to spare her colleagues a vote on the matter. Or, she could face removal from her own GOP peers.
