Kevin McCarthy says Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff will be removed from House Intelligence Committee if GOP wins majority in midterms

If the Republicans get a majority in the elections, they will remove the Democrat from the Intelligence Committee, McCarthy said.

McCarthy said during the press conference that the committee was politicized by the presence of Schiff. The chair is currently held by Schiff.

Why is he still chair of the committee and why is he still on the committee? McCarthy said that if there is a new majority, he will not be.

You can't make this committee political, you can't use it as a position of chairman to lie, and you should be focused on what the American people want you to be focused on around the world.

During the Trump administration, where he was a vocal critic of the former Republican president and pressed for inquiries into the Trump campaign's relationship with Russia, he was the ranking member of the powerful committee, which oversees the nation's intelligence agencies. After Democrats regained control of the House, Schiff became the committee's chair.

If Republicans win the House in November, McCarthy will remove other Democrats from their committee assignments. McCarthy said Democrats have removed Republican lawmakers from committees.

McCarthy said that the Democrats have created a new thing where they pick and choose who can be on committees.

The Georgia lawmaker was stripped of her committee assignments by House Democrats last year after several news reports showed her in support of violence against Democrats. A Mother Jones report revealed that she had served as a Facebook moderator for a group that posted about executing Democratic lawmakers. She harassed a survivor of the school shooting.

Gosar was removed from his committee assignments by Democrats after he posted an edited video showing him killing a lawmaker.

McCarthy wants to remove several Democrats from their committee assignments.

McCarthy supported expelling Eric Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee due to his contact with a suspected Chinese spy.

He called for her to be kicked off the House Foreign Affairs panel due to her past comments.
