House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he voted to oust Omar from the Foreign Affairs committee.

said he's confident the Minnesota Democrat could be taken off the Foreign Affairs committee under emergency procedures as soon as Wednesday.on Tuesday that he voted to oust Omar from the committee, keeping up with a promise he had made last year before the Republican Party won control of the House.

Two other House Republicans—Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Ken Buck of Colorado—said that they would oppose removing Omar from the committee. House Democrats, who have harshly condemned the resolution to kick the Minnesota representative out of the committee, are expected to oppose the move. The resolution released on Tuesday asks to remove Omar because of some controversial statements criticizing Israel and pro-Israel lobbying she made in 2019 and 2021, which many on both sides of the political spectrum said were antisemitic. Omar has denied the claims and has since apologized for making the comments.

According to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the resolution to remove Omar will be introduced after another resolution to outline each party's committee picks is approved.

Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, after failing to unify their conference behind the idea. Why do people feel the need to cater to this woman?
