Only in James Clyburn’s bizarre brain does this make sense.

(Daily Caller) — Although many Democratic congressional leaders have called on embattled New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, many are reluctant to say what the next course of action would be if he were to refuse to do so.

However, on Monday’s broadcast of “Hardball” on MSNBC, House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina, said there were certain things they could as a caucus to discourage him staying in the House of Representatives. He referred to what the caucus did to New York Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel, in the wake of his 2010 Ethics Committee hearing.

“That’s absolutely true, but I don’t know that will ask him to leave,” Clyburn said. “I think that we can do certain things [take away his committee assignments] — yeah and other persons in caucus who have and a precedent set a couple years ago, you may recall when a member was removed from the Ways and Means Committee because of a scandal. So I believe that Mr. Weiner serves on a very important and exclusive committee. And so there are certain things that the caucus can do, which I would hope we would just act once and for all and get it behind us and stop talking about it.”
