The given reason for the anticipated Omar ouster is her past criticism of Israel, some of which she hasJames McGovernTuesday evening, as Republicans consolidated support for the move. “This is about spite. This is about politics.”

Omar is one of three Democratic lawmakers McCarthy had vowed to remove from their committees if Republicans won the House majority and he took the gavel. He already

Speaker won a few votes to become speaker because for one he agreed to take Ilham Omar off that committee. What other agreements did he make hummm

Get rid of her!!!!! 2 white guys were also ousted and you don’t see them crying the RACE CARD!! She’s going to claim the “victim” spot and it’s all because she doesn’t know how to do her JOB!

And the republicans are undermining our ability to have a healthy and rationale country.

Good. Get her the fuck out.

This is exactly what Pelosi did to Republicans. Remember the Vanity Fair article about that? Neither do I

Ilhan Omar is an antisemite Jew-hater who believes that Jews have “hypnotized the world.” Are you surprised this disgusting bitch is being removed from one of the most important committees in Congress?

Ilhan Omar is antisemite

When a foreign lobby has more say then the actual citizens.

Omar was removed for her support and promotion of the next Jew Genocide. The Jew can live with verbal support but Jew memory doesn’t forget the Nazi/Muslim Holocaust of 6million Jews and Omar’s current action for the next Jew Genocide

People who equate criticism of Isreal with antisemitism is devaluing the memory of those who died in the holocaust. Isreal has hijacked this memory fir political capital. Isreal is an apartheid state ethnically cleansing Palestine

This is fantastic. She has flaunted her anti-Patriotic rhetoric for too long. Perhaps she and her husband/brother will now move on to simultaneously leech off and hate another country.

Your anti-Semitic statements got you the boot. Let’s be honest you really hate American & Americans so why don’t you give it up and as long as we’re being honest we don’t care much for you either. Time to move along.

Cry harder libs

Why are people acting like Omar ISN'T antisemitic She always has been and Anti-Anerica as well. Kick her out of everything 💯

Why is criticizing Israel for their atrocities against the Palestinians people called anti-Semitic. They are killing them for god sake.

I applaud the US congress 👏👏👏👏👏

Excellent!

Stop committing crimes marrying your bro for one. No one likes u

US democracy is the biggest lie in recent modern history

We don’t need America Haters in Government. She’s an incestuous animal

Maybe she can focus on the crimes in her district 🤔

Good. She hates america

Those Republicans in Biden districts are screwed in 2024

Excellent news Speaker McCarthy!

Bend the Arc: Jewish Action jewishaction Rep. Omar brings an important perspective to Congress. None of her policy positions or statements merit disqualification or removal from committees. This isn't about antisemitism — it's a cynical, partisan move.

Why should America support the Israeli government over the lives of Palestinians? Can we all just agree that apartheid is inhumane & wrong no matter who the target is? Let's support Israeli citizens AND Palestinians & not support the injustice against either. Can we do that?

The purpose of the committee is to decide policy. Should there never be dissenting voices on the FR committee? Should Congress have no power in deciding what relations the US has with foreign states? If you can't oppose the status quo on a committee, just disband it entirely.

gooooood

😆

Anyone who believes McCarthy is going to lose votes in the house the next 2 years, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. Republicans are going to get even for every slight they think affected them.

A dangerous precedent. Removing somebody for their views from a committee.

Blind deference to systematic rights abuses confirmed by all rights orgs is never a good idea Settler violence as a vehicle for taking over Palestinian land w/state backing 50 Yrs of Occupation Abuses

Why? Is this what the Israeli lobby is demanding?!?! How's that America first thing going?

Oof. That's a photo and a half.

So… What does he do with all the Republicans undermining United States’ relatioship with NATO allies, Ukraine etc.?

Thank god!

This is about racism and religious bigotry, and GOP incompetence.

Democrats only dislike tactics they use when they’re used on them. Maybe they should reflect when in control because every time going back yrs they set precedents when control the House or Senate then scream & complain when those same tactics,procedures,other is used against them

FACT: Anyone who is an Anti-Semite racist, or a person who married her own brother to break immigration laws, or supports terrorists' groups, doesn't deserve to be in Congress. PERIOD.

An anti-Semite on the committee looks bad when trying to reach out to Israel.

We shouldn't be sending israeli settlers weapons to oppress Palestinians

POTUS DemsinCongress US gov't shouldn't be comfortable w/a relationship w/Israeli gov't bent on murdering,imprisoning & unlawfully destroying homes & livelihood of Palestinians. It's as if the American gov't finds kinship w/gov't corruption & police violence against citizens.

She's a garbage human

Well she’s a terrorist so…

Didn’t you marry your brother for papers? That alone should ban you from any involvement in foreign affairs… you’re not an American

Good.

Maybe our relationship with Israel should be scrutinized. Why did Iran get drone bombed?

You'll be sorry when her Brother... I mean husband.... I mean brother finds out....

Buh bye

Still don’t understand why Republicans imagine Israel to be our 51st state. Decent arguments on both sides as to whether they should continue to be our geopolitical ally. Healthy debate from the opposition would actually make the alignment stronger.

Hmm, do Republicans plan to remove mtgreenee from all committees for her anti-Semitic, pro-white supremacist remarks? Oh wait.... SpeakerMcCarthy IlhanMN 🤬

Finally, a bit of good news from the 🤡 show

She hates America. Is anti semetic. Hates the middle class hates white people and married her brother! She has NO business even being in Congress let alone serve on ANY coy

Sensible man KavinMcCarthy. I just heard they want that scum out

The GOP is so far up Netanyahu’s ass that they will do anything their master says.

If you replace the word Israel with apartheid state, then Omar becomes a hero for all freedom loving people.

Can we just not have Jews and Muslims in our governments? All these semites are bad news.

You know that people who are Zionist like Kevin McCarthy turn out to be biggest antisemite

Is this even a debate?

When did vanity fair become a gossip column? Israel succumbs to the oligarchs…..

While they applaud the niece of BIN LADEN! The republican party are officially terrorists

If you want to really know why, check out dom_lucre thread on Ilhan Omar. It's thoroughly researched.

Keeping terrorist sympathizers from receiving sensitive intelligence information is a pretty important part of the job. It's telling how badly she wants to be given that access and alarming the Democrats want her to have it so badly. They don't seem to be playing for team USA.

'Why should we care?' is the immediate response I think. Who gives a fuck what any individual member of congress' opinion on the US' relationship with Israel is? That should absolutely not be a make or break issue, and the obsession that some people have with it is disturbing

United States of Israel 🤔🤮🤮🤮

Freedom means no fear, said Nina Simone and Ilhan Omar is a living example of that freedom. Kevin can take her off the committee but ultimately all he will ever be good for is to shine her shoes.

She doesn't work for ApartheidIsrael. No one in congress should be.

Ya lied lady! Can’t trust you. Bye 👋

We can't allow any differing opinions because our l representatives are completely controlled by .......

Where do the wild and crazy antisemites get their wild and crazy conspiracy theories from? 🤔🧐

That’s literally exactly what she’s doing

This is just racism against Omar lol.

The state of Israel is a fascist government We should not be supporting them anyway. Just remember from republicans you're not gonna be in charge forever And you will be removed from your seats as well 2 can play this game

It’s okay. Some people did something. 😂🤣

Israel First™

Republicans are working to undermine US relations with its NATO allies & Ukraine. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

When can we start saying that Iarael is actually buying certain congress people? They way the mettle in our politics and election has no precedent. They work through proxies like AIPAC to manipulate our officials for Israel's bennefit over that of US citizens sanctionisrael

😶

She'll be fine. She's a racist hack. She spews hate at every opportunity. Chuck her out. See ya!

This never happened...doesn't exist..it's all in your head...seek help...BlueAnon

You’re gone! Some people did something!

👍🏽

Stooges of Israel

Funny, Omar claimed that Israel owned many politicians. And when she speaks out against the fascist government of Israel, those politicians scream to have her removed from her committees. Seems like she's just been proven 100% correct.

Israel has done that all by themselves, they don’t need Illam to do that. Btw, Bibi is a monster.

What nobody is talking about here...Omar is dealing with this garbage because she's one of the only Dems with the spine to speak out on Israel's murderous colonial regime. People like Pelosi are complicit in this charade, and the silence of the Dem party is deafening.

Good!

Can’t Israel’s god take care of it themselves?

But are you undermining the relationship? I guess that's the question that you didn't answer?

He himself is fomenting hate & inevitably violence.

Not as much as the gop is undermining free and fair elections

We don't want anyone coming in between us helping Israel commit genocide.

Criticizing isreal apartheid regime Doesn't make her antisemit

Great news for the country, bad news for people who marry their brothers who seek public office! (Google it libs, it’s true). Everything about her conduct is disqualifying, not least of all her appalling comments re: 9/11.

Translation: 'We don't want Muslims on the committee'.

.HouseGOP Such a losers

Spare me her!

She is not a supporter of America. The marrying her brother thing is certainly fun to drag her for.

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

Ilhan Omar was slammed for claiming during an interview Sunday that she was unaware that there were “tropes about Jews and money,” leaving an aide to Sen. Ted Cruz to declare: &82… Anything you say about the untouchables is considered anti semite lol… She would have zero power if gullible people weren’t duped into voting for her.
