Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Saturday that when he becomes the speaker of the House of Representatives in January he plans to remove “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN), from the House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her “antisemitic” comments.
When the Republicans take the majority in the House next year, McCarthy will likely become the next speaker, pending a vote for the position on Jan. 3. Speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s 2022 leadership meeting in Las Vegas McCarthy pledged to the audience “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.”
The room erupted in cheers in response. Since she was elected to Congress in 2018, Omar has had a history of making many comments against Jews and Israel and using antisemitic tropes. After being elected to Congress, she submitted a resolution to the House comparing boycotting the Jewish state of Israel to boycotting the Nazis. In February 2021, 1,500 rabbis called on Congress to rescind the appointment of Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN), to the position of vice chair of the House foreign affairs subcommittee based on her past anti-Semitic statements and behavior. Omar has an extensive history of using anti-Semitic statements and tropes as well as promoting conspiracy theories about Jews. In a now-deleted tweet Omar wrote “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza#Palestine#Israel” In another now-deleted tweet, Omar said Jews were buying political support tweeting, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” According to The Daily Wire, in an interview, Omar suggested: “Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state, Israel is not a democracy, and compared Israel to Iran — which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.” Omar also embraced the anti-Semitic heads of the Woman’s March which included Linda Sarsour….
CAIR lobby will say you're "islama-phobe"
Soros/Haaretz will say you're "racist."
Ilhan Omar will say "it's because I'm a person of color."
First good thing since he was elected.
McCarthy is a Deep State stooge.
He’s doing what his Deep State masters tell him to do.
This ain’t about anti-semitism.
But Deep State may be readying to kick Omar to the curb.
Not if Deep State ordered it done and he’s complying.

Amanpour will come up with a WWII analogy.
You can start by getting a new roommate, clown. What’s that little putz Frank whispering in Kevin’s ear?
Wonder if even the Deep State sees trouble coming from the totally unscrupulous Ilhan.
Even the biased AP said:
Omar marries political consultant, months after affair claim
By AMY FORLITI
March 12, 2020
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota has married a political consultant who worked for her, months after the two were accused of having an affair, which she denied.
Filings with the Federal Election Commission show Omar’s campaign paid Tim Mynett or his firm nearly $600,000 since July 2018. Though it may raise eyebrows, family members, including spouses, can be on the campaign payroll as long as the family member provides services at a fair market value.
.....the work needs to be reasonable and there has to be actual work being done.
....
“Remember the story began with her denying a relationship, and now she’s marrying that person,” Jacobs said. “I think there are legitimate questions that constituents might ask about whether Congresswoman Omar has been fully truthful in her discussion of this relationship, and the nature of her marriage to a previous husband,” whom Omar divorced last fall.
A relationship between Omar and Mynett was publicly alleged in August, when Mynett’s then-wife, Beth Mynett, filed for divorce and accused her husband and Omar of having an affair. In response, Tim Mynett filed his own court document denying that he told his wife he was in love with Omar and was ending his marriage to be with the congresswoman.
.......
Omar has been dogged by questions about her personal life since she first ran for state representative in 2016, with conservatives alleging she was married to Hirsi and another man at once, and that the other man was her brother. She has called those claims “disgusting lies.”
prosecute her for election and immigration fraud also
and the majority of American Jews will still vote for democrats.
the fact that this person was ever allowed into our government is a total disgrace
I won’t agree or disagree with what you posted but add an opinion….
At the least, McCarthy is reacting to the Republican caucus majority to secure the votes to be Speaker of the House.
I am sure that if someone else becomes leader then they will do the same thing. We don’t need a rino to do it.
Why is Trump endorsing McCarthy for Speaker? I had hoped Trump had learned something from previous bad picks.
Ban her from ALL committees like they did MGT.
Should not have telegraphed it. Why give her and the Dims two months to come up with a way that he’s racist/bigoted/sexist/etc...?
I read Schiff and Swallwell off the intelligence committee.
Omar is a freeloading “refugee”. She has no business being in the U.S. Congress. She may be a U.S. citizen but she is NOT an American and never will be.
to mc carthy... screw bum
“Omar suggested: “Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state, Israel is not a democracy, and compared Israel to Iran — which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”
This is classic middle eastern Islamic deception. They complain in the West about Israel by comparing them to someone they know their audience doesn’t like, to wit, Iran. This impliedly criticizes Iran, thereby making the complaining party appear reasonable, planting the idea in their target audience’s mind “Well, even if they’re a bit misguided about Israel, the fact that they criticize Iran as a rogue regime means they are basically reasonable people with reasonable standards.”
But you can bet your boots that if push ever came to shove between Iran and the West, Omar would do everything possible to deflect any retribution against Iran. Including by blaming everything on Israel.
