WATCH: Ilhan Omar reacts to Kevin McCarthy's plan to pull her from committees
Washington Examiner ^ | January 8, 2023 | Emily Jacobs

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Sunday condemned House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) plans to kick her off the House Foreign Affairs Committee as hypocritical.

Omar was asked about McCarthy's repeated promises to yank her committee assignments during an appearance on MSNBC's Yasmin Vossoughian Reports. The progressive lawmaker was specifically questioned about if there were any developments on the matter in the days since McCarthy had secured the speaker's gavel.

"I have not [received any updates]," Omar said. "It’s my understanding that we obviously have to get the rules package done. Hopefully, Monday, when we reconvene, that is on top of the agenda, and then the different caucuses, our caucus and their conference, will make appointments to committees and we will go from there."

Taking aim at McCarthy specifically, Omar then remarked on McCarthy's difficult path to the speakership before referencing her Somali background as a reason to keep her on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

She should ALSO be expelled from the country for her felonious lying on her residency form.

If McCarthy was a real man he’d throw every demonrat of every committee.

Disagree. They’re supposed to be assigning people to committees NOW. This is in the top ten of things to do. Get Schiff & others blackballed, too.

What is hypocritical is having a security risk on a committee where security is important. She needs to be on a committee that distributes breads and circuses for her idiot constituents.

Well, Ilhan, we will all concede that you are an expert when it comes to hypocrisy.

This muzzie “refugee” has no business in the U.S. Congress. Talk about a turd in the punch bowl.

Why isn’t she in jail and then deported? The corruption of US Justice is massive.

What’s this “we” s**t, Kimosabe? Your incestuous butt isn’t a thing any more.

McCarthy needs to do this as tit for tat in response to MTG being expelled from all committees by Pelosi.
