House Dems are making no secret of their dislike for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. So they are trying to get her kicked off of all of her committees to punish her for her “extreme comments.” Some House Republicans saw this and are taking action over this hypocrisy and are calling for Rep. Ilhan Omar to be taken off of all of her committees to make a point.
“Several House Republicans are moving to remove far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee assignments this week after Democrats announced recently that they are pushing to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a conspiracy theorist, from her committee assignments.
“The House is set to consider a measure this week that calls for Taylor Greene, a controversial first-term lawmaker known for his support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee,” Fox News reported. “A proposed GOP-backed amendment to that measure calls for Omar, frequently identified as a member of the ‘Squad’ of progressive Democrats, to be removed from her committee assignments.”
“Omar has an extensive history in trafficking in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and tropes, including her claim that “Israel has hypnotized the world.”
Then-New York Times Columnist Bari Weiss noted that Omar’s anti-Semitic remark was similar to what was promoted in Nazi Germany.”
“Immediately after winning her win in 2018, Omar changed her views on the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement from saying it was “counteractive” during her campaign to saying that she “believes in and supports the BDS movement, and has fought to make sure people’s right to support it isn’t criminalized.”
I can’t wait to watch Dems try to squirm out of this one. They are of course going to say that Taylor is far worse but Rep Omar said 9/11 was “some people did something,” and called the detention centers at the border concentration camps. Omar is constantly saying outrageous things. She really kills any standing Dems think they have in calling out Taylor.
