The vote on the resolution to remove Omar from the panel was 218 to 211 and fell strictly along party lines, with one GOP member voting "present."

Good article and good rationalization by McCarthy for tossing this anti-semite.

I didn’t know the majority party could remove minority party members from a Committee. I thought each party was free to pick their representatives for a Committee. The only difference being that the majority party got to pick more members.

Recall Nancy booted members from their 1/6 committee.

During the vote Thursday, Omar apparently wore a bracelet with the words, "God bless whoever hating on me," and tweeted out a photo.

Sounds like something a 14 year old might say and do.

Drama Queen full of hatred. They always accuse the GOP of what they are guilty of.

Obvious Republican bias and hate speech against an immigrant, Muzlim, incesting Jew-hating, White-hating, Christian-hating Woman of Color,

The horror.

There is no rule but there was a Gentleman’s Agreement that each party could pick what ever members they like.

Then the Dems kicks MTG off her committees, so yeah Payback is a B....

God does bless those who hate evil.

Rat face, back stabbing, no Trumping, purple puss Nancy Mace (SC 1) blinked and voted Omar out after saying she wouldn’t. Must have felt some heat from home.

If the “refugee” wants to “change da wurl”, she need to go the hell home and start there. Shut down that government that made her have to run away like a chicken and leave her home country. We Americans can take care of America ourselves. We don’t need any “refugees” mucking it up.
