House Republican lawmakers are seeking to oust controversial progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from her committee assignments, Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reported Tuesday night. The move is reportedly in direct response to a measure first pushed by Democrats in the chamber to remove newly elected Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee.
Ever since her election in November, Greene has raised eyebrows and drawn ire from Democrats — and even some Republicans — in Congress over past controversial social media posts and alleged support of the QAnon conspiracy theory movement.
This week, in order to reprimand her as well as to show disapproval to House Republican leadership, Democrats have drawn up a resolution that would strip Greene of her committee assignments. The measure is expected to be considered and debated Wednesday.
But on Tuesday, a group of Republicans filed an amendment to that resolution that would also remove Omar from her assignments “in light of conduct she has exhibited.” While in Congress, Omar has served on the Budget, Foreign Affairs, and Education and Labor Committees.
Omar, a member of the “Squad” — a progressive cohort of House lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) — has frequently come under fire for incendiary statements about Israel and has been scrutinized for her support of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest, Sanctions movement.
Who were the 11 Republicans who voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees?
What a joke, GOP doesn’t exist now what a bunch of pussies.
That anti-Semitic terrorist should be removed from the country!
Republicans need to start ignoring democrats and call them racist every time they speak. Instead of continuing to bend the knee. Republicans lost congress, senate and White House in the most important election since the party started and yet they still play defense and tuck tale. Republicans do you remember when democrats shut down the polls and start counting ballots for joe? I guess they forgot that. Let’s focus on bs Q that was wrong about everything anyway. Ridiculous.
The GOP can’t get anything done they are a hoax of a party… We live in a one party system period, You have to appreciate Trump for exposing it
GOP is history. They show how easy they bend over and give in to the SOCIALIST Democrats.. OMAR, AOC, Pressley and other Squad members, Maxine Waters, Wasserman- Schultz, Feinstein and the ones using Muslims as IT personnel in their office, Communist Chinese as Drivers and working in their office, Swalwell sleeping with Chinese spies etc should not be on committees and should not have any type of security clearance.
Where is the spineless GOP leadership? Now you know why I do not donate to any Republican organization.
