Ilhan the rabid America-hating anti-semite Omar gets the boot
“There is no debate that Ilhan Omar, the face of antisemitism in the Democrat Party, has no place representing American interests on the Foreign Affairs Committee. Ms. Omar is an embarrassment to Minnesota and our country,”
- Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN)

There are credible allegations of illegality against Omar. Let the investigation begin.

Watching AOC channel black preachers and civil rights race hustlers was definitely an entertaining bonus to this whole story. She seemed, however, to be going through the motions for the cameras. Her heart didn't appear to be in it....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ My former broker used this expression. He was from the MS Delta. Other than that never heard it again.

Even the Democrats recognize actual racism from time to time.

AOC, "My life was threatened" can she ever get in front of a camera or microphone and not make it about her? I don't know what she is even talking about but that is not unusual.

Some people did some things and now she's not on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
AOC hopping around behind that podium gave me a well-needed laugh.

Uhhh, pretty sure NO Democrats were actually in support of this...Vote was 218-210. The whole Democrats cite 'racism' thing was NOT they were recognizing Omar's racism (actually they were defending it/her), but rather in response to Omar's removal, and what the Democrats were accusing the GOP of.

How many people of color and/or women are in committees in the House? Did they all get the boot AOC? Wait, they didn't? Hmmm... Maybe it isn't racism. But we all know that.

Living out here, behind enemy lines as well as other blue bastions, that is the biggest truism. For all their posturing about 'doing the right thing', being modern, being inclusive, being thoughtful and being nuanced...they're full of shit. Omar can sulk in the corner and stew in her hate with her little clique, the adults are speaking and nobody wants to hear her noise.

Some people (in Congress) did something, huh Ilhan?
