Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) days on the House Foreign Affairs Committee are numbered. After getting only a slap on the wrist for making a series of anti-Semitic comments after taking office, it appears she is going to receive the Marjorie Taylor Greene treatment.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said, on Saturday, that when Republicans are in control of the House in 2023, he will strip Omar of her committee assignment. During a speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s leadership meeting, he said: “We watch antisemitism grow, not just on our campuses, but we watched it grow In the halls of Congress.”
“I promised you last year that as speaker she will no longer be on Foreign Affairs, and I’m keeping that promise,” he continued.
Fox News reported:
Since being elected to Congress in 2018, Omar has made several controversial comments widely deemed to perpetuate antisemitic tropes, including saying it was “all about the Benjamins” for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and tweeting, “We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” which was seen as equating Israel and the U.S. to the Taliban.
In a tweet before joining Congress, the Democrat claimed Israel had “hypnotized the world” and after being elected she submitted a resolution to the House comparing boycotting Israel to boycotting the Nazis.
Last year, Rep. Greene was removed from her committee assignment when she compared vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany’s treatment of Jews. “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star,” she said.
Democrats used their majority to strip Greene of her committee assignments over this, and other comments she made before running for office. The move was roundly criticized due to the fact that these matters are typically handled by the party of the offending lawmaker.
McCarthy vowed he would reinstate Greene to her position after he becomes Speaker of the House.
This is yet another case of “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” The left erupted in fury at Greene’s comments, which were admittedly silly. But the idea that Democrats would take punitive action against her when they have folks like Rep. Omar and others in their camp who have repeatedly made anti-Jewish remarks was the epitome of hypocrisy.
I argued previously that House Republicans should do the same with Omar and other members of “The Squad,” who have made these types of remarks while being sitting members of Congress. The only chance of discouraging Democrats from engaging in this politically-motivated behavior is to show them their people will not be spared when they are no longer in power. Perhaps this will be only the beginning.
They're going to investigate the felony immigration fraud she committed with her brother?
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will strip Omar of her committee assignment.
Wow. Powerful.
How’s her brother husband doing?
From what I have read, the Dems are holding out all those House seats hoping to steal some. They then plan to start bumping Republicans out by dirty tricks, until they have control of the House again.
We have control right now, but we really need to be alert, just to keep it.
yes!
now do the other squad racists!
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that he would keep his promise to bar Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) from committees if elected Speaker of the House.McCarthy said, “Yes, I will. I’ll keep that promise. One thing I have said from the very beginning is Eric Swalwell cannot get a security clearance in the public sector. Why would we ever give him a security clearance and the secrets to America?
So I will not allow him to be on Intel. You have Adam Schiff, who lied to the American public time and again. We will not allow him to be on the Intel committee either.
Good… And while they’re at it, they should deport her worthless ass
They then plan to start bumping Republicans out by dirty tricks, until they have control of the House again.

Firing Squad, I volunteer My services.
Oh and how The Squad will whine along with the harridans on The View.
More failure theater from McCarthy.
Rile up the supporters while failing to pass any meaningful reforms.
Shouldn’t she receive an honor killing for running her mouth and sleeping with a white infidel?
He is First Mate on a Somali Pirate ship awaiting ship movement information from Omar.
How about returning the POS back to the foreign shithole she crawled out of after marrying her brother and getting into the USA illegally?
SPJNK.
MTG makes the case for human cloning.
Not nasty enough, if they don’t deport her, or imprison for immigration fraud.
If her comments and attitudes were in the body, of lets say, “someone that does not look like her”, they would be laballed by the media very differently.
I don’t expect any reforms out of this Congress. McCarthy and Republicans have only one tool to pass legislation. It’s appropriations and they won’t use it. They are gutless. More than anything I would like to be proved wrong.
You won’t be proved wrong.
McCarthy is going to try to pump up this Hunter Biden stuff and get Republicans to be distracted with it. If you ever mention it to someone who doesn’t watch Fox News, they have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s a loser issue and easily sets up Trump to be attacked for Jared Kushner’s bribes from the Saudis.
Instead of investigating things that Joe Biden is CURRENTLY doing with immigration or China, McCarthy and the establishment are going to rehash Hunter stuff that has already failed to be of interest to the public. And of course, he will not allow meaningful legislation to go through the House to present contrast with the Senate Democrats.
It’s designed to fail.
