House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Sunday vowed to remove Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee.
The top Republican in the House of Representatives has vowed to keep several Democratic lawmakers off of congressional committees if he is elevated to speaker by his caucus. Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” the bans would apply to Reps.
“He will adhere to the wishes of the lowest common denominator,” Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said when asked about McCarthy’s pledge to remove him from the House Intelligence Committee.
Newt Gingrich defended the likely soon-to-be Speaker Kevin McCarthy Monday on Fox & Friends after McCarthy said he would remove three Democrats from committees.
