House Democrats on Thursday took the unprecedented step of removing embattled Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green from two key roles.

Her positions on the House budget and the House education committees.

The final vote was 2 30 toe 1 99 with 11 Republicans voting to remove Green.

Earlier in the day, Green and ardent Donald Trump supporter took to the House floor to express regret for some of her incendiary remarks, which have thrust her into the national spotlight, including voicing support for an array of unfounded conspiracy theories.

I was allowed to believe things that weren't true, and I would ask questions questions about them and talk about them, and that is absolutely what I regret.

While she failed to offer an apology for supporting violence against Democrats, Green disavowed Q and on and tried to distance herself from her past statements such as arguing that school shootings were staged and questioning whether a plane flew into the Pentagon on 9 11.

You see school shootings air absolutely riel, and every child that has lost those families mourn it.

I also want to tell you 9 11 absolutely happened.

I remember that day, crying all day long.

Watching it on the news greens speech came one day after the chambers Republican leader Kevin McCarthy opted not to reprimand her.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she found McCarthy's inaction disturbing.

I remained profoundly concerned about House Republicans leadership, acceptance of extreme conspiracy theorists.

Green countered by slamming the House vote and warned about the president.

Democrats were setting never before in the history of this institution as the majority attempted to exercise a veto over the minorities right to make committee assignments.

Yet today the majority is choosing to do just that.

This leads the institution down a dangerous path, the end of which we cannot see.

Killin on is a dangerous, sick cult period.

We are deciding whether someone who has encouraged violence against members should be given a platform on a standing committee.

 That's what the topic is here today, and I have to say I didn't even know that was a question.
