Ilhan Omar Removed From Foreign Affairs Committee

-

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to remove Rep. , D-Minn., from the powerful Foreign Affairs Committee.

The vote came to the floor on Thursday after Republican Reps. Ken Buck and Victoria Spartz reversed their decision to oppose the resolution to punish Omar for her history of antisemitic comments.

The Washington Times has more:

Ms. Omar, a Democrat and member of the far-left “Squad,” was kicked off the committee in a party-line 218-211 vote.

Ms. Omar, who came to the U.S. as a Somali refugee and was one of the first two Muslim women elected to , said she was being targeted by Republicans because she is an immigrant, a Black woman and a Muslim.

“This debate today is about who is going to be an American,” Ms. Omar said in a floor speech before the vote. “There is an idea that you are suspect if you are an immigrant.”

Ms. Omar has been vocal about her opposition to the Israeli and its supporters, particularly on the issue of Palestinian rights, which led to the allegations of antisemitism.

Omar's rhetoric in the past has also offended some Democrats, who have on occasion spoken out against her.

Every Democrat voted against today's resolution.

  1. It’s funny how she appears to feel singled out and picked-on, as She consistently spends her days ripping the guts out of the United States of America.
    It’s all about the Founders, baby.

  2. Is she really so obtuse that she doesn’t understand that it has absolutely nothing to do with her color, her religion, her sex or her national origin? Rather, it has everything to do with her loyalties – is she loyal to the US and the Constitution or is she loyal to terrorists and enemies of the US? Or is she just determined to pull out her deck of “cards” everytime people disagree with her – her race card, her religion card, her sex card, her immigrant status card. She has been granted citizenship to the greatest nation on Earth and has been elected to one of the highest offices one can attain, in spite of her dishonesty (marrying her brother….really?), yet she claims she is oppressed, discriminated against and suffers great injustices due to the “unfairness of the system.”.

    She needs to get a grip on reality. Better yet, she needs to be removed from office and sent somewhere that doesn’t have “systemic racism,” oppression and injustice. Oh, wait! There isn’t any such place – except here.
