If GOP Wins House, Kevin McCarthy Has A List Of Democrats He’ll Axe From Committees – By Virginia Kruta (Daily Wire) / Oct 21, 2022
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has made it clear that he is ready to shake things up if Republicans retake the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives — and elect him as their new House Speaker — and he could begin by ousting several key Democrats from their committee assignments.
According to a recent interview McCarthy gave to The Federalist, there are three Democrats in particular who should expect to lose their committee seats as soon as he has control of the gavel — Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA), Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA), and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Both Schiff and Swalwell serve on the House Intelligence Committee, and Omar serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — and critics have called for one or more of them to lose those positions on a number of occasions.
