Meet Michael McCaul, House comedian

 
Headline:  HuffPost, 1/22/2023
“She doubted 9/11. She doubted a plane hit the Pentagon,” ABC’s “This Week” host Martha Raddatz pointed out to McCaul. “She later apologized for that, but she said that in 2018. Should she be on that committee? You were on that committee.” 
“I chaired the committee,” McCaul replied. “You know, these conspiracy theories that people go down, I disagree with those. I’m having to debunk this. This one was the worst violation; 9/11 was not a hoax. It was carried out by al Qaeda. There’s no question in my mind.” 
But the lawmaker insisted that Greene “has matured ... I think she realizes she doesn’t know everything, and she wants to learn and become, I think, more of a team player.”
