House tables Mace push to remove Omar from committees over Kirk comments

The House on Wednesday voted to table a resolution brought forward by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) to formally reprimand Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and remove her from her committee assignments after Mace alleged she “smeared Charlie Kirk and implied he was to blame for his own murder” in re-posting a video on social media.

Mace had forced action on the matter through a privileged resolution to censure Omar and strip her committee assignments, but Democrats moved to table the matter, thereby rejecting it.

The House voted 214-213 to table the resolution, with four Republicans voting with Democrats to defeat Mace’s anti-Omar effort.

Those four Republicans were Reps. Mike Flood (Neb.), Jeff Hurd (Colo.), Tom McClintock (Calif.) and Rep. Cory Mills (Fla.) who was facing a retaliatory censure and was the deciding vote at the last minute.

Omar after the vote thanked her “colleagues for having my back and not furthering lies on the House floor.”

“Appreciate them safeguarding first amendment protections and the usage of the censure. Finally some sanity in the House,” she posted on X.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries excoriated Mace in a statement ahead of the vote.

“Nancy Mace is a complete and total disgrace. Her racist, unhinged and xenophobic comments about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are beneath the dignity of the Congress. Is this what civility looks like in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives?” Jeffries said.

“We live in an era of intense political violence as we have seen with the recent assassinations of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Nancy Mace’s crazed rhetoric has put a target on the back of Rep. Omar. Mace must cease and desist her inciteful behavior immediately,” Jeffries said.

Really hate Congress they embrace evil and corruption no matter the Party.

If demonicRATS move to remove Mace from her committee assignments, I’ll bet Republicans will neuter themselves and vote yes.

[DIRTYSECRET]

McClintock. I don’t get him. Been there too long I guess.

Nancy is good for the Party when she is laser focused on problems and events outside of her own personal experience.
This (removing Omar from committee assignments due to her slanderous remarks on Kirk) was a good topic to be raised for discussion, even though it lacks enough support to remove Cong. Omar at this particular time.

Nancy is good for the Party when she is laser focused on problems and events outside of her own personal experience.

In her case, it's an asset because she's not corrupt or prone to blackmail.

However due to her trauma (most likely due to being the first female cadet at Citadel) she does not have the temperament required to be an executive (Governor).

Mike Flood - (202) 225-4806

Jeff Hurd - (202) 225-4676

Tom McClintock - (202) 225-2511

Cory Mills - (202) 225-4035

I agree. Nancy has many fine abilities as a politician, but wherever she goes in life, she carries some heavy emotional baggage with her. Most of it has never been unpacked, inventoried and examined.

She paid a high price to become the ‘First’ female cadet. I admire her ambition, but I still think some branches of service should remain structured for one sex only, either for men or for women.

Conservatives residing in any of those four states: Take note!

Ugh….Cory Mills is the one currently facing legal action from an ex-girlfriend for assault. No wonder he voted not to censure and remove….lthe dems were trying to censure him.

You have to wonder that only four representatives switched sides on this matter. It is likely that Speaker Johnson did not want the censure and ensured that the minimum four representatives from purple districts jumped sides. President Trump has bigger issues and likely did not want to expend political capital on what amounts to theater. In the case of McClintock, he may be gerrymandered out of his district if the California Legislature goes through on the threat of redistricting to eliminate Republican seats. There are likely several dozen other RINOs who would have voted against censure but did not want to take the political risk unless necessary.
