With her take and anti-semitism, WHY should she be allowed further rights than what she has already been unfortunately been voted in for? I agree, toss her off the committee. We see with her Allah crap where her loyalties lie.

ZOA: Ilhan Omar’s Antisemitism Means She Must Be Removed from House Committees

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), America’s oldest pro-Israel group, issued a statement Monday morning denouncing the antisemitic statements of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and calling for her to be removed from her committee assignments in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appointed the first-term Omar to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, among other assignments, last month.

Omar tweeted Sunday that Congress was paid to defend Israel — by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), among others. Jewish leaders, and some Democrats, were outraged.

ZOA president Morton Klein said in Monday’s statement: “These tweets below from Rep. Ilhan Omar, along with several comments that she has made over the years are pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism.

“The Zionist Organization of America calls on House Democrat leadership to (i) immediately remove Rep. Omar from her committee assignments; and (ii) call an immediate vote on Rep. Lee Zeldin’s H.Res 72, Rejecting anti-Israel and anti-Semitic hatred in the United States and around the world.”

H. Res. 72 mentions Rep. Omar by name, referring to an earlier statement she made: “Whereas, on November 16, 2012, Representative Ilhan Omar, who also supports the BDS movement, tweeted, Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

(Omar has acknowledged that the tweet is offensive but has refused to apologize or delete it.)

Others also called for Omar to be removed from her committees, including House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Muslim reformer Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser:

The precedent for censuring a representative and removing him or her from committees was set last month when the Republican leadership and the Democrat-controlled House acted against Rep. Steve King (R-IA) for comments he made to the New York Times in which he appeared to accept white supremacy and white nationalism.

Not gonna happen, YOU must resign if you say anything hateful, YOU must recuse yourself if you even have an opinion on a topic, YOU must remove yourself from consideration for a post if there is even a claim of wrong doing.

Democrats are better people than you so they don't have to do any of that.

Sarcasm noted... and you're right.

It's the double standard.

The only way they (i.e. the Democrats) would get rid of Representative Omar is if she came out as pro-life

I can't say what I think should happen to her... but I'm sick of watching this nation go down the toilet in the name of the democrat party.

Aside from censure, there isn’t much that can be done. However, the Republicans should keep her remarks in the spit light and keep up the pressure to have her resign.

It could be a gift, this is yet another campaign issue against the Democrats. A party that has become radicalized and out of touch.

It won't be a gift for Republicans. A) Democratic voters are gonna vote Democrat no matter what and B) Republicans have spent the better part of the last 3 years proving to the American people that they don't have a fucking clue how to govern.
