After a 2-year hiatus imposed by Democrats, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now set to make a grand return to several congressional committees.

Recall that in 2021, Democrats ousted her from all her committee assignments because of past remarks she’d made which were deemed controversial.

“The House of Representatives has voted to strip Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments, following uproar over her past incendiary comments and apparent support of violence against Democrats. Thursday’s vote was 230-199, with 11 Republicans joining with all Democrats to back the resolution,” NPR reported at the time.

Two years later, and with Republicans now in control of the House, she’s finally en route back. In a ruling issued Tuesday, the House GOP Steering Committee assigned Greene to both the House Homeland Security Committee and the House Oversight Committee.

“I’m honored to be selected to serve on what could arguably be the most important committee this Congress, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. We will return the role of the Oversight Committee to investigating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement of the federal government, which is exactly what the American people are fed up with,” Greene said in a statement.

“Joe Biden, be prepared. We are going to uncover every corrupt business dealing, every foreign entanglement, every abuse of power, and every check cut for The Big Guy,” she added.

She said something similar in regard to her Homeland Security assignment:

“Our Southern border is being invaded by millions of illegal aliens, criminals, and potential terrorists. Our People are being murdered by Chinese fentanyl flooding in from the cartels. Our Border Patrol and ICE agents have their hands tied and have been turned into a welcoming committee by the Biden administration,” she said.

“Cyber attacks continue on our nation’s people and businesses along with many more threats to our homeland It’s time for accountability with Republicans in charge,” she added.

There’s only one small catch. The ruling must now be approved by the entire House GOP conference. The good news is that this shouldn’t be an issue for Greene.

“[T]ypically, the conference approves whatever Steering recommends,” CNN’s Melanie Zanona reported Tuesday.

NEWS: MTG & Paul Gosar have been given committee assignments for the new Congress, after being booted by Dems (and some Rs) for incendiary remarks.

Greene has been placed on Homeland Security Committee, while Gosar will get a seat on Natural Resources. Decisions were unanimous.

The House GOP Steering Committee — which is stacked with leadership members & allies — makes recommendations about other committee assignments, and then they still need to be ratified by the full GOP.

But typically, the conference approves whatever Steering recommends.

Notice Zanona also mentioned Rep. Paul Gosar. He too was stripped of his committee assignments in 2021, albeit for an entirely different reason.

“The House on Wednesday voted 223-207 to censure Arizona Republican Paul Gosar and remove him from his committee roles for posting an animated video that depicted him killing New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an action he has refused to acknowledge as inappropriate,” Roll Call reported at the time.

Like Greene, Gosar has also scored a seat on the House Oversight Committee, in addition to a seat on the Natural Resources Committee.

The decision by Republicans to empower both controversial lawmakers with committee assignments again provoked massive outrage from the far left.

Look:

As the former Vice Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, I’m HORRIFIED that it was just announced that Marjorie Taylor Greene will serve on the committee.

A QAnon conspiracy theorist + Jan 6 insurrectionist doesn’t belong on a committee that exists to fight extremism.

— Ritchie Torres (@RitchieTorres) January 17, 2023

Republicans just unanimously voted to put @RepMTG—a 9/11 “truther” who helped plan and incite January 6th—on the Homeland Security Committee and reinstate @RepGosar—insurrectionist who posted a video of himself killing @AOC—to the Natural Resources Committee.

— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) January 17, 2023

Marjorie Taylor Greene selected to sit on the Homeland Security Committee. Paul Gosar will return the Natural Resources Committee.
Never bet that the Republicans have hit the nadir of their depravity. They will prove you wrong every time.

— ProudVersum/Desperado (@versum_proud) January 18, 2023

Marjorie Taylor Greene who complains about the treatment of Jan6 insurrectionists was named to the Homeland Security Committee.
Paul Gosar, who is a climate denier, was seated on the Natural Resources Committee.

Make it make sense……You can’t.

Speaker McCarthy has promoted extreme MAGA Republicans:
– Marjorie Taylor Greene promoted to the Homeland Security Committee.
– Paul Gosar gets a seat on the Natural Resources Committee.

Cry as they might, there’s nothing they can do about Greene and Gosar’s assignments. Republicans won the House fair and square in the 2022 election, and as the saying goes, elections have consequences …
