A sitting member of Congress who made repeated antisemitic statements was placed on the Foreign Affairs Committee in the first place. Let that sink in before you even get to the vote that removed her. 😡And the fact that it was 218 to 211 tells you everything about the other 211.Ilhan Omar compared the United States and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban. She suggested American politicians only support Israel because of money. She has platformed anti-Israel activists, gone silent on Iranian aggression, and used her seat on one of the most sensitive committees in Congress to push an agenda that has nothing to do with American interests and everything to do with where her loyalties actually lie.Removing her from Foreign Affairs was not a punishment. It was basic national security. The real question is how she got there in the first place and which 211 members of Congress thought keeping her there was acceptable.
