US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) vow to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee has hit an early snag, as he may not have the votes to do it, The Hill reported on Thursday.
“There’s already two Republicans that have indicated that they won’t vote to put her off, and I think others will come aboard also,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), the senior Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, who is lobbying Republicans on Omar’s behalf.
“So I don’t think it’s going to be a simple vote. I think that she has a good chance of staying,” he added.
Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) said this week she’ll oppose the measure, calling McCarthy’s move “unprecedented” while citing her opposition to Democrats’ successful removal of GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) from committees in 2021.
“Two wrongs do not make a right,” she said in a statement quoted by The Hill. “As I spoke against it on the House floor two years ago, I will not support this charade again.”
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has been similarly cool to the concept, also pointing to her criticism of the Greene and Gosar evictions under Democratic rule, according to the report.
“I’m not going to be a hypocrite just because Republicans are in the majority now,” she told reporters Wednesday morning. “It’s not been a precedent in Congress to kick people off of their committees because of things that they say, even if you vehemently disagree with those things.”

Spartz needs primaried.
Who knows how many people have died because ILLyahn gave secrets to foreign governments in league with radical Islam?
Mace and Spats are the House version of Collins and Murkowski.
But two wrongs on different sides of the scale do balance things out, morons. While throwing old sayings around, ever heard the old saying: Fight fire with fire?
You can always count on Mace to be stupid. She is really one of those Democrats who run as a Republican.
Arrest her for Immigration Fraud re Brother-Husband
Why isn’t Omar in jail or deported? Can anyone explain it?
All Dems should be off all committees. Then Omar would not be singled out but would part of a consistent policy.
Two Republicans that have indicated that they won’t vote to put her off.
Here’s the key locker 37 at the train depot toss it when done.
$$$$$$$$$$
Make em vote. If they vote against that con artist then primary both of em. No quarter.
Sure, she is a democrat marxist. but I repeat myself.
“Omar is rabidly anti-American. She shouldn’t even BE in the House”....She shouldn’t be in the COUNTRY”
imho, AGREE!!! And that’s the message I left for McCarthy to say good for him for blocking her from Committee.
And, when I call Spartz & Mace...I will say the same! They need to stop worrying about hypocrisy and worry about what’s in best interest of our Country!
