House Democrats are moving to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene. There obviously aren’t enough republican votes for that, but expulsion isn’t the goal. It’s to tie every house Republican to her lunacy, so we can use it against them in 2022. This is how strategy works :-)
The entire point of holding expulsion hearings against Greene will be to get every House Republican on the record about her. Then as her scandals get even uglier, they become easier to beat in 2022, because they voted to let her stick around.
MSNBC will say the expulsion hearings are a failure for the Democrats, because the votes aren’t there. Liberal Twitter pundits will insist that some magic solution should be used, and then bash the Democrats for not using it

You’ll think the Democrats are losing. You’ll be wrong
If all of you are willing to get strongly behind democratic leaders during the expulsion hearings, knowing we don’t have the votes, knowing that’s not the goal anyway, it’ll be a big success for us.

Or you can spend the hearings naively yelling “all hope is lost”
