WASHINGTON—House Republicans were set to move forward with a vote to oust Democratic Rep.

In your dictionary freedom of speech not available to democrats?

Clearly she has serious anger issues. We don't need it at the Congressional level. Too many urgent matters to address!

That’s okay too. 🙄😷

It is a shame when our elected government works on party lines rather than what is right for the country. This should have been done a while ago.. who is funding all this nonsense.

how about citing her all around bullshit

Omar = Racist anti-Jewish bigot and hater.

Shouldn't she work for Americans? What exactly is she doing except spreading antisemitism and hate?

Good move.

Nancy Mace is a wreck

Some people did something

WERE SET? What happened republicans start arguing with themselves again?

Good. She's about as Anti-American as you can get. We love Israel. ❤️ 🇺🇸🇮🇱

As a Jew, we all know this, but it needs to be reminded: being anti-Israel and its policies is not being antisemitic.

I’m not saying she is but how many Republicans would be left on committees if they ousted all the anti-semites?

Israeli witch 🧙‍♀️ hunt ! We must end the intimidation and silencing of the truth ! The more they try to stop it, the greater the boiling pot ! 💥 the mask is blown off 🧙‍♀️🎭

House GOP eyeing backdoor tactic to block Rep. Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs CommitteeHouse Republicans are scrambling to find a legislative tactic to keep Democratic Rep. 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? She adds nothing of value to the Foreign Affairs Committee except opinions that spit in the face of at least one close ally, tinged with anti-Semitism. If the House of Representatives doesn’t get rid of this traitor, then it is clear that Washington is out of touch with Americans. Ilhan needs exiled from this country in my opinion
