McCarthy doesn’t have the votes.  
The Speaker can’t just remove minority party committee members from most standing committees. Each party determines their own assignments for most standing committees and removal requires a floor vote.  
Greene and Gosar committee removals were bi-partisan floor votes for threatening other house members.
“I promised that when I became Speaker, I would remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee based on her repeated anti-semitic and anti-American remarks. I'm keeping that promise.” - McCarthy 

Sooo, Jewish space lasers huh? Oh wait, revenge you say? Just a little bit of grade school bullshit you say…

The heated partisan conflict over committee assignments began in 2021, when Democrats and a small number of Republicans voted to remove Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) from their panels. Republicans said at the time that the move set a new precedent and vowed to take revenge. McCarthy this week formally removed Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee.

Just another day of Republicans sabotaging the US government. >

I think more then revenge Reps just want to take everything Dems did to them in the Trump years that was seen as once-in-a-lifetime or just a major step in general, and do it to them for stupid reasons in a bid to take all the gravity out of them in the future. That’s why I think so many people have mentioned impeaching Biden, some before he was even sworn in. >

Some of that yeah but also I think it gives them cover. Republicans think it gives them a valid excuse to do things because “Democrats did it first”. As you say, the gravity of the action is less. They are just defending themselves, yada yada. 
But it is revenge. Republicans have spent a lot of time and money telling a story how Democrats are The Enemy. In their minds you can’t let an assumed attack just go without a counter attack. Because The Enemy and all that jazz. I mean, what would Fox News Propaganda say, which is really 90% the reason Republicans keep getting voted in. Republicans are in burn it all down mode and are at the extreme end of desperation. Republican voters are fueled by ongoing outrage entertainment. If government is working, if people’s lives are getting better, that’s a problem for Republican politicians. Doubly so if Democrats get actual credit for it. >

What, they're worried about optics NOW? >

They are worried about losing their committee seats if they don't do the speakers bidding or if democrats take the house. They know once they go down this road the house minority party will have no say like in the UK. >

This. >

Excerpt:

Why it matters: It could lead to another destabilizing loss for Republicans on the House floor just weeks after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took 15 ballots to capture the speaker’s gavel amid defections from his party.
Driving the news: Buck, a member of the right-wing Freedom Caucus, told NBC News’ Chuck Todd he is against Republicans removing Democrats like Omar from their committees.

"I think that we should not engage in this tit-for-tat," Buck said.
Buck’s office confirmed his plans to vote no, telling Axios he “right now wouldn’t support the removal of Rep. Omar" from the Foreign Affairs Committee. >

A lot of GOP politicians are trying to do false equivalency with Omar vs what happened to Gosar and MTG.  Those two were removed because they were inciting violence.  The GOP wants Omar gone because she’s a brown Muslim woman who’s critical of the Israeli government >

Kevin McCarthy is now vying with Trump to see for this season who can be America's Biggest Loser. >

The fact there are already three GOP House members who are resisting McCarthy sounds like the writing on the wall for the next 2 years! >

The GOP collectively are children. When they aren’t, screaming, crying, causing a scene, having a melt down or a temper tantrum, they engage in childish games such as these.
MTG doesn’t even deserve a seat at the kiddie table let alone on a committee of any sort. She does not even qualify to be in the building, and Gosar isn’t much better. 
F’cking GOVERN for once. Jesus FC. These clowns screw around with the debt ceiling as they are threatening to do and the reverberations could very well be felt the world over, and potentially permanently damage our country’s credit rating. For a long ass time at least, and yet these are the people who are supposed to be our leaders. Will they let the debt ceiling be our downfall just to prove whatever point they have at that moment in time? Who the hell knows at this point. >

Isn't it wonderful to see them fight among themselves. Seems like they've learned from the Democrats. >

It time the republican party is no more. Biden should just do what emperor palpatine did and become the true Dark Brandon!
