Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar get committee assignments



CNN
 — 

Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona have been given committee assignments for the new Congress, after being booted from their committees by Democrats and some Republicans for their incendiary remarks, sources told CNN.

The House GOP Steering Committee on Tuesday agreed to place Greene on the House Homeland Security Committee, which has jurisdiction over the border and will likely play a role in potentially impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

And Gosar got a seat on the House Committee on Natural Resources, where he previously served.

Both decisions were made unanimously by the steering panel, sources told CNN, which is stocked with members who are close to and a part of House GOP leadership. The committee rosters will still need to be ratified by the entire House GOP, but typically the conference approves whatever the Steering Committee recommends.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has long vowed to put Greene and Gosar back on committees, while he has pledged to kick some House Democrats off of theirs.

The House voted in February 2021 to remove Greene from her committee assignments following incendiary and violent past statements including that she repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians before being elected to Congress.

In November 2021, the House voted to censure Gosar and remove him from his committees after he posted a photoshopped anime video to social media showing him appearing to kill Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Joe Biden.

McCarthy has repeatedly cited Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell, both of California, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota of examples of Democratic lawmakers whom he would remove from their committee assignments. Schiff and Swalwell serve on the House Intelligence Committee, while Omar serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

This story has been updated with additional developments Tuesday.

Dr. Dre Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene for Video Using ‘Still D.R.E.’ – Rolling Stone

Dr. Dre and his legal team have taken action against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she used the “Still D.R.E.” instrumental in a self-promotional video shared Monday, Jan. 9.

The objectively goofy clip pairs the “Still D.R.E.” beat — which Dre produced with Mel-Man and Scott Storch —with some slo-mo clips of Greene not exactly working hard but walking around the halls of Congress. There’s also some footage of Greene taking a phone call from “DT” (yeesh) and celebrating the end of Kevin McCarthy’s abject humiliation when he was finally elected Speaker of the House on the 15th try. 

After the video popped up on Twitter, Dr. Dre’s lawyers issued a letter, obtained by Rolling Stone, accusing her of “wrongfully exploiting this work through the various social media outlets to promote your divisive and hateful political agenda.”  The letter added that Dre (real name Andre Young) “has not, and will never, grant you permission not broadcast or disseminate any of his music.” 

After claiming the use of “Still D.R.E” in the clip constituted copyright infringement, the letter continued, “One might expect that, as a member of Congress, you would have a passing familiarity with the laws of our country. It’s possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on. We’re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.” 

Dre’s lawyers then demanded that Greene “cease and desist from any further unauthorized use of” the musician’s work. It also requested that Greene confirm she’s “compiled with these demands” before Jan. 11 at 5 p.m. ET

It doesn’t appear that Dre’s team had to wait that long: As of publication, the video has been removed from Greene’s Twitter account, with a message reading, “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.” (Mediaite has preserved a copy for those willing to subject themselves.)

Trending

In a statement first shared with TMZ, Greene claimed she was locked out of her Twitter as a result of the complaint — though at 3:50 p.m. she was able to post a screen grab of her statement.

Addressing Dre, Greene said, “While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs.”

Lawyers for Dr. Dre tell Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to stop using his music

Lawyers for rap legend Dr. Dre are demanding that Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stop his using his music, after the controversial politician used the hit “Still D.R.E.”

“I don’t license my music to politicians, especially someone as divisive and hateful as this one,” Dre, who was born Andre Young, said in a statement.

Greene, who represents a district in northeast Georgia, has promoted the far-right and baseless conspiracy theory QAnon, and in February 2022 she spoke at a white nationalist event.

In December she said she would have “won” the Jan. 6 Capitol attack if she had planned it with former Trump aide Steve Bannon, which earned a rebuke from the White House as well as Democratic lawmakers.

The letter from Dre’s attorney, Howard King, dated Monday, demands that the Greene immediately cease and desist from using Dre’s music. The letter says she has been using it on social media.

“One might expect that, as a member of Congress, you would have a passing familiarity with the laws of our country. It’s possible, though, that laws governing intellectual property are a little too arcane and insufficiently populist for you to really have spent much time on,” the letter reads. “We’re writing because we think an actual lawmaker should be making laws not breaking laws, especially those embodied in the constitution by the founding fathers.”

Music publication Rolling Stone reported that the recognizable “Still D.R.E.” beat was used in a video posted to Twitter, which appears to have since been removed.

A spokesperson for Greene on Monday sent a response from the Congress member to Dr. Dre that read: “While I appreciate the creative chord progression, I would never play your words of violence against women and police officers, and your glorification of the thug life and drugs.”

Boebert reportedly swears at Taylor Greene during House speaker vote

A tense encounter between Rep. Lauren Boebert and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was caught on camera as the House voted on Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become speaker— sparking speculation that the Colorado lawmaker told her GOP colleague to get the “f–k out of my face,” according to a report.

Greene, a McCarthy supporter, had confronted Boebert on Friday night after McCarthy failed on the 14th ballot over four days to win the speaker’s gavel as the California Republican’s supporters pressed members to vote yes.

“You need to stop,” Greene appeared to tell Boebert, one of a group of about 20 hardline conservatives who had been voting against McCarthy.

Video widely shared online captured Boebert, sitting next to Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, responding before turning away and ignoring Greene. What she said isn’t audible, but some on Twitter speculated it looked like she had cussed at her colleague, The Daily Mail reported.

“I’m not a expert lip reader, but I think Boebert told MTG to ‘the f–k out of my face,’” a user wrote along with a clip of the encounter in a tweet that had garnered more than 60,000 views by Sunday.

The testy exchange was caught by C-Span cameras that had been showing the chamber over the past several days during the voting process. But the video captured by the cameras does not include sound.

The verbal altercation happened around the time ​Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) had to be restrained after he lunged at Gaetz for opposing McCarthy. 

Gaetz voted “present” in the 14th round of voting to derail McCarthy’s bid for the gavel again Friday evening, even as others in the “Never Kevin” contingent began voting for the California Republican.

McCarthy went on to win the speakership on a 15th ballot early Saturday morning. 

Boebert voted “present” on the 14th and 15th ballots. 

Reps for Boebert and Greene didn’t immediately return requests for comment Sunday.
