Last week, it was Black MAGA. This week, it's Republican women. Man, those leopards are just feasting every day it seems.
For the first time since the 114th Republican-led Congress, it appears that there won't be any women leading House committees, Bloomberg Government reported.
Republicans have already named who they intend to take over each committee, but it won't be official until all members are sworn in on Jan. 3. So, Republicans can make changes before then and ensure there is some female representation in the assignments, but doing so would admit they need more diversity, equity and inclusion.
Weve never been the party that was about checking boxes or identity politics, but the difference is we have women that are qualified to be chairs, and I dont know why there wasnt one who was able to become a chairperson of a committee," she added.

Misogyny is identity politics.
Same as white supremacy.
Same as being straight and thinking that the only "normal" way to be.
Same as thinking America is a Christian Nation.
All of it - identity politics.
All of it - checking a box.

Why aren't they tending the home fires? It is what this male dominated party keeps saying. They need to become tradwives and stop trying to have dominion over men.
Snark....

much less heading committees or even being allowed to be in Congress.
