It should have some bearing in the calls to remove freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from her committee seats in Congress that pro-QAnon comments she had made that have come under fire were made before she was a candidate, Rep. Andy Biggs said Wednesday.

"She will answer and tell you how she feels, and I think that's appropriate," the Arizona Republican said on Fox News' "The Faulkner Focus," adding that there have been "dangerous" comments coming from Democrat lawmakers while they were already in office 

"If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander," Biggs said. "Maybe what should happen is you let Republicans take care of our own and you Democrats take care of your own."

There have been "offensive or dangerous" statements from Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "a whole plethora of folks, while they are sitting here," Biggs added, but Greene's comments were "already known when she was running and she won overwhelmingly."

Three House Democrats introduced a resolution to force Greene off the Budget Committee and the House Education and Labor Committee over remarks she has made on social media. These have included accusations that mass school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and Parkland, Florida, were "false flag" operations and that the 2018 California wildfires were sparked by "Jewish space lasers."

Meanwhile, Biggs recently visited the southern border, and said that if the United States does not return to building the wall, which President Joe Biden stopped, there will be "huge gaps" and there will be areas that are undermined. 

"We're seeing that already, different areas have become the hotbed for human smuggling and drug smuggling and that brings heartache both this side of the border and the other side of the border," said Biggs.

He also said stopping the wall has also cost many people their jobs. 

"This is the first time in many months that I've been down to the border where I haven't seen crews going day and night to put up fencing," he said. "All those crews are gone. All this equipment is sitting there."
