House Republicans narrowly voted Thursday to oust Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee, a move that follows Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s removal of Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee last month.
House Republicans narrowly voted Thursday to oust Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from the Foreign Affairs Committee, a move that follows Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s removal of Reps. Adam B. Schiff and Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee last month.
McCarthy said Omar was removed for antisemitic comments she made in 2019. Democratic leaders also condemned her remarks at the time, but took no action against her after she apologized. “Ilhan Omar has apologized,” Jeffries said. “She has indicated that she’ll learn from her mistakes [and] is working to build bridges … with the Jewish community, including leaders right here in the United States Congress.”
