  ethics? the GOP has ethics?
context: TBC, this is about power. There are a number of excuses that are going to come up, but it's about vengeance for Gosar and Greene.
  That's it. Nothing more to it; no other motive. It's about saying "Well, they had someone removed from committees too". >
  
  Hard disagree on there not being other motives.  She was picked because she’s a Muslim immigrant and woman of color who’s been critical of Israel.  Screwing her over checks a lot of hate boxes for their rabid base >
  
  I agree on your reason it was her specifically. If she hadn't gotten reelected, I think it would be someone else, though. They would have kicked someone off committees because this isn't about any specific disagreement or distrust, just the principle of retaliation. >
  
  Hmm.. you guys think she's going to get her separate water fountain soon? >
  
  Republican Bigots. >
  
  So, republicans? >
  
  Yeah, I guess so. Republican politicians anyways. >
  
  No surprise here.. my only hope is the GOP continues to make themselves untenable to independents and moderates.. >
  
  The GQPers on the r/Conservative sub are proving this point.  If independents and moderates would spend 5 minutes with them, they would never vote for the GQP side again.  It is so vitriolic over there and blatant Islamophobic and bigoted comments.  I wasn't on this site during the Obama "birther" conspiracy theory but it seems like it would've felt the same. >
  
  Just re enforces that all republicans are bad. Up and down the chart never ever vote republicans >
  
  Racism and Islamophobia wins the day >
  
  I'd expect nothing less from the GOP than ostentatious power flexes based on false equivalences and petty revenge. >
  
  Ethics? >
  
  There is an implied "removal of" before that word in the headline >
  
  What made republicans pick these 3 to be kicked off committees? >
  
  Revenge >
  
  Even Republicans must know that McCarthy has made conflicting promises by the boatload. His word is meaningless. >
  
  great >
  
  ethics promises… so cutting more ethnics? >
  
  Haha, what comic book villains. And then we get to watch as Democrats don't do anything and this goes away. Sometimes I wonder if this is all just satire for the writers upstairs. >
  
  Nice to see them hard at work tackling inflation! >
  
  I believe her exact quote is “all about the Benjamins” that means Jews. She also has a number of anti-Israel statements. So yeah whatever water fountain she wants is fine. Just stay off my fucking foreign affairs committee. >
  
  "All about the Benjamins" refers to $100 bills that have Benjamin Franklin's face on them.  It is/was a common phrase referring to political lobbying or corruption in general, and was the title of a movie.
  She said it as a way of saying Israel had a strong lobby, or if you like, a corrupt lobby.  At the time Benjamin Netanyahu was prime minister of Israel, and some Republicans (e.g. Trump) liked him, so it was clever in that way as well.
  It was only a Jewish slur if you believe all Jews support Israel, or that all Jews are rich funders of lobbying or government corruption.  Or if you are prejudiced against this Muslim woman of color and want a smokescreen to pretend you are not singling her out. >
  
  Forever divided. >
  
  “Ethics promises” from the QOP? >
  
  The party of no ethics.
