BREAKING: Massive Issue Just Emerged With Speaker McCarthy trying to give Ilhan Omar the boot from her committee assignments

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy wants to give Ilhan Omar the boot from her committee assignments, but it’s looking like roadblocks might be in place that stop him from doing so.

There’s one roadblock in particular that McCarthy is facing: he might not have the votes necessary to give Rep. Omar the same boot he gave Swalwell and Schiff, as The Hill reported, saying that Rep. Victoria Spartz of Indiana and Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina have both indicated that they won’t back the move.

Rep. Mace, in her statement on why she would not support removing Rep. Omar, said “I’m not going to be a hypocrite just because Republicans are in the majority now. 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.”…CONTINUE READING»>

Guess the fact that Omar is pretty much a terrorist and potentially broke more than a few laws, don’t matter.

“Mace worked on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. In 2021, she voted against impeaching Trump in relation to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, but nevertheless condemned his words and actions before, during, and after the attack. She also voted to hold Trump aide Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify before the House Select Committee investigating the attack.”

Nancy Mace is a disgrace. The Spartz woman is from the Ukraine. Sounds like hasn’t learned much from the happenings there.

RE: to give Omar the boot.

AOC: If they’re those Java side zipper women’s combat boots in full grain leather, with the fully lined supple glove interior then why not? I love ‘em myself.

“In May 2022, Politico reported on a toxic environment within her office, with Spartz’s temper quickly jumping from tepid to boiling.”

Jeez. We fight harder against one another than against the Dems. Dems never turn on each other unless there isn’t a Republican in sight.

"It’s not been a precedent in Congress to kick people off of their committees because of things that they say..."

They did it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
