Play all audios:

US politicians in the House of Representatives held a vote ton controversial GOP congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene yesterday. Ms Greene, a freshman in the lower house who arrived after


last year's election, represents Georgia's 14th district. She quickly raised alarm bells amongst prominent Democrats as controversial statements and actions from her past


resurfaced. HAS MARJORIE TAYLOR-GREENE BEEN EXPELLED FROM CONGRESS? Ms Taylor-Greene became a controversial figure in the Capitol last month when details of her life before taking office


arose. The congresswoman, who was Vice President of Taylor Commercial, a company founded by her father before taking office, also posted support for local conspiracies. According to CNN, she


authored a blog post in 2017 following a deadly white nationalist rally at Charlottesville, Virginia calling it an "inside job". READ MORE: EX-PRESIDENT'S 'STAUNCHLY


LOYAL' BASE THREATENS GOP VOTE Ms Greene also previously backed QAnon, a conspiracy which claims the 'deep state' wanted to overthrow former President Donald Trump. She also


liked social media posts calling for violence against Democratic lawmakers and claiming school shootings and the 9/11 attacks were staged. Ms Greene has since disavowed the conspiracy, but


house Democrats have claimed her views make her unsuitable for the committees she occupies. The GOP placed her on the house education and budget committees last month. Lawmakers scheduled


two votes yesterday, both of which passed in favour of ousting Ms Greene.  In the first earlier in the day, Republicans stayed unified as 209 voted to keep Ms Greene, while 218 Democrats


voted to oust her. The second was more bipartisan, as 11 Republican representatives split from the mould and voted to strip Ms Greene of her committee places. The second vote to oust her saw


230 representatives in favour, with 199 against.
