The Republican-led House Thursday voted along party lines to remove Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over previous comments she made about Israel that members of both parties viewed as antisemitic.

Omar said on the House floor Thursday that the vote to remove her is about more than silencing her voice. "This debate today is about who gets to be an American," she said. "I am an American. An American who was sent here by her constituents to represent them in Congress."

"Is anyone surprised that I am being targeted? Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy?" she said on the House floor prior to the vote.

    1. she hasn’t achieved power the only thing she’s achieved is how to be a Democrat coup anti-American domestic terrorist shrill who lied about two fabricated attempts on her life 1 January 6th and 1 by a fellow congressman she needs to be investigated her finances need to be thoroughly investigated her ethics need to be thoroughly investigated

    2. @Chris Gio well that’s good to know. Wars and rumors were prophecies way before America came along. I also think women should stop playing the victim card as well. A lot of women live off victims as well. That needs to be investigated. I do agree.

  1. Must be pretty embarrassing to know YouTube removed the dislike counter just so you people can afford to pay your opinion pieces 😆

    1. Yeah from your lips to God’s ears yeah I’ll give you an Amen on that one she needs to go put her back in her own country

    2. @neighbors from hell staley rd What? A racist that believes in an imaginary sky god? Can’t say I saw that coming.

    1. Dude she sucks im Hispanic and cannot stand her neither do any other Hispanic I know we can see through her lies

  2. I remember watching a video of Ilhan Omar at some financial committee hearing, and some CEOs were testifying about how their employees were paid, and Ilan Omar was absolutely incapable of grasping the concept of how people who work “on commission” were compensated, or not, based upon their performance.

    They literally could not dumb it down enough for her to understand how it was that some people didn’t have a guaranteed paycheck, and they only got paid when they produced. The idea of a person having a job, but having to actually be a productive human being in order to earn an income at said job, was something her entitled socialist savage nitwits simply refused to accept.
