WASHINGTON - A bitterly divided House on Thursday ousted Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the Foreign Affairs Committee over past comments about Israel that were widely condemned as antisemitic, as Republicans moved to cater to the demands of right-wing members and mete out punishment to a Democrat their party has demonized for years...

No more foreign affairs for her. But she can still sleep with her brother, I assume.

[vivenne]

Any Republicans voting to keep her?

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Apparently one did.

[Fish Speaker]

Wow, no bias in that report. But then, it is the NYSlimes ...

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Geysers of tears in the NYT offices, I’m sure.

[George J. Jetso]

Best news I heard in a while. Next is AOC, she needs to be on the janitor cleanup committee.

NYT? No thanks, no hits for them today.

No, Democrats have not been “demonized for years.” by Republicans. Instead, their sorry politics and anti-American views have been highlited for the past few years.

When Democrats remove all Republicans, it’s not news.

When Republicans do it, it’s major news, especially if one is a raging hatemonger.

"A bitterly divided House.."

IMO, the house is "bitter" on one side only.

democrats are truly possessed by demons.

[CatOwner]

With a DEM Senate and an idiot DEM POS POTUS, this is about as good as it’s going to get, I suspect.

[daler]

“Wow, no bias in that report.”

And anyone that can’t readily see that is a leftist hack, nothing more or less.

[vivenne]

Thanks. Just saw it. Some guy from Mississippi?

[vivenne]

That’s pretty funny.

One thing i got to say is that after this house cleaning... y’all better maintain control of the house forever. When the democrats regain control of the house (Because of GOP incompetence) they will absolutely eradicate anyone to the right of Stalin off any house committee assignments.

McCarthy had better be in for a pound!

[ByteMercenary]

One R from Ohio voted ‘present’.

[JBW1949]

When I saw it was from the NY Times, I knew what to expect...I wasn’t wrong...

[MAGA2017]

Well, Ilhan Omar is a foreigner.

GOP not voting to remove Omar from commottee:
Dave Joyce (OH) voted “Present.” Wesley Hunt (TX), Greg Pence (IN) and Greg Steube (FL) didn’t vote. Steube is out healing from fractured pelvis. I don’t know why TX and IN guys didn’t vote. The two gals who’d said before they’d vote against it ended voting for it! One report said the original motion to remove Omar had been modified to provide an appeal process, which mollified the 2 gals. I don’t have any details on that process. But it’s nice to see McCarthy CAN bend RINOs to our side at least sometimes.
