House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced no disciplinary actions against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a statement released as he met with his caucus. McCarthy condemned her incendiary remarks, but offered no disciplinary actions. The statement against her read:

"Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference. I condemn those comments unequivocally. I condemned them in the past. I continue to condemn them today. This House condemned QAnon last Congress and continues to do so today."

McCarthy met with Greene on Tuesday, and the GOP leader said he gave her the same message:

"I made this clear to Marjorie when we met. I also made clear that as a member of Congress we have a responsibility to hold ourselves to a higher standard than how she presented herself as a private citizen. Her past comments now have much greater meaning. Marjorie recognized this in our conversation. I hold her to her word, as well as her actions going forward."

The House is set to vote on removing Greene from her committee assignments [Education and Labor Committee] on Thursday. Senate GOP leaders have condemned Greene forcefully, but have no power on her committee assignments. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) rejected a deal proposed by McCarthy to remove her from the Education and Labor Committee but allow her to remain on the House Budget panel.

"The Rules Committee will meet this afternoon, and the House will vote on the resolution tomorrow. There's no other way to slice this: McCarthy completely screwed this up and threw the conference under the bus in the process. It's the job of the leader to protect members from bad floor votes. He could've dealt with this a week ago and his inability to ever take a position allowed Democrats to make the decision for him and put our members in the absolute worse position possible."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) apologized for her past controversial remarks and embrace of the QAnon conspiracy theory during a heated closed-door House GOP conference meeting — and received a standing ovation at one point from a number of her colleagues. Greene told her colleagues that she made a mistake by being curious about "Q" and said she told her children she learned a lesson about what to put on social media, according to two sources in the room.

Various outlets have unearthed remarks by Greene supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that Democrats and Hollywood are behind an international child sex peddling scandal; backing violence against Democratic officials; arguing that schools shootings were staged to win support for gun control; and suggesting that California's wildfires were caused by a space laser to make way for a high-speed rail project linked to PG&E and the Rothschilds.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office earlier on Wednesday issued a blistering statement mocking McCarthy for cowardice and suggesting he was the leader of the QAnon party.

Store owner Alfie Oakes, who has publicly expressed conservative viewpoints and organized a busload of people to attend Trump's Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C. , told NBC that he does not believe the scientific data that has proven masks help prevent the spread of COVID. He also does not believe that more than 450,000 Americans have died.

"That's total hogwash," he said. "I've never worn a mask in my life, and I never will."
