Greene has faced bipartisan criticism for comments related to several conspiracy theories. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy released a statement yesterday that criticized Greene's comments but did not support her removal from the committees (source).
Extra: Meanwhile, House Republicans voted for Liz Cheney (R-WY) to retain her party leadership position yesterday. Cheney (the third-ranking House Republican) faced criticism from some Republican lawmakers after voting to impeach former President Trump following the US Capitol attack.
