[NR] Bro-Fo Omar has just learned that Nancy's not there to protect her any moreThe House of Representatives voted Thursday to remove Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her history of making antisemitic remarks.
The resolution, which passed 218—211 largely along party lines, was introduced by Representative Max Miller (R., Ohio.), one of two Jewish Republicans in the House.
"Omar has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security," he said in announcing the resolution.
Omar "cannot be an objective decision-maker on the Foreign Affairs Committee given her biases against Israel and against the Jewish people," Miller added.
Omar has made several antisemitic comments throughout her career. Before entering public office, in 2012, Omar tweeted that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."
Although Omar apologized for the comments, she has subsequently made additional antisemitic remarks.
