House Republicans kick Democrat Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee
Summary by NewsWall Apr 16 23
- On Thursday, Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar was kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee for making anti-Israel remarks.
- The 218-211 vote came after a heated debate in which Democrats accused Republicans of targeting Omar because of her race.
- House Republicans focused on six statements she made that "under the totality of the circumstances disqualify her from serving on the Committee of Foreign Affairs," said incoming House Ethics Committee Chairman Republican Michael Guest of Mississippi.
- Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York claimed Omar has "made mistakes" and utilized anti-Semitic stereotypes that House Democrats denounced four years ago.
