Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has lashed out at “morons” in both parties who voted to kick her off two committees, a day after the House of Representatives meted out the unprecedented punishment that Democrats said she had earned by spreading hateful and violent conspiracy theories.

All but 11 Republicans voted against the Democratic move on Thursday but none rose to defend her lengthy history of outrageous social media posts.
