Today on Political Rewind: The U.S. House approved a measure to strip freshman Georgia 14th District Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments. The action was a response to Greene’s bigoted and often-threatening remarks and social media activity that have come to light since she became a candidate for public office.

All eight Georgia Republican members of the House voted against the measure, which dramatically reduces Greene’s ability to influence legislation. But will her rising presence fall following an official rebuke?

Plus, a state Senate panel says the Department of Public Health needs more money to fight the pandemic than Gov. Brian Kemp proposes, even as new reporting suggests Georgia’s vaccine rollout is faltering.
