Ilhan Omar

House passes resolution to remove Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee

The Republican-led House of Representatives voted on Thursday to pass a resolution to remove Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the powerful House Foreign Affairs Committee.

House Republicans have argued Omar should not serve on the committee in light of past statements she has made related to Israel that in some cases been criticized by members of both parties as antisemitic ...

Right. The Republicans in the House are soo very worried about antisemitism. That's why they renounced the leader of their party, Donald Trump, after his dinner with two celebrity antisemites. And That's why they chastized Marjorie Taylor Greene for her Jewish space lasar trope. And that's why their party has managed to attract the huge number of two, yes two, Jewish people to serve as Republicans in Congress.

Oh wait.

The Republicans in the House got rid of Representative Omar because they hate her and their base hates her. And they hate her because she is a woman, a liberal, a Muslim, a refugee from Somalia.

No one is fooled by their sudden revulsion for antisemitism, and they know that, but it's all just a game, right?
