US House Removes Congresswoman Omar From Foreign Affairs Panel Over Controversial Remarks
The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a resolution removing Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her controversial remarks on issues including the relationship between Israel and the United States. | The House passed the resolution removing Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee in a vote of 218-211 along partisan lines. The resolution accuses Omar of advancing "anti-Semitic tropes," including a February 2019 comment claiming the Jewish lobby was buying political support in the United States [which is a proven fact]. "It’s all about the Benjamins [$100 bills], baby," Omar is quoted as having said on the relations between the two countries. The resolution also cites a comment from March 2019, accusing Omar of having "trivialized" the September 11, 2001 terror attacks against the United States by describing them as "some people did something," [which is an obvious fact, but the "some people" bit is an implied or indirect reference to Israel. (Some facts are considered "anti-Semitic". )] The Foreign Affairs Committee is viewed by other nations as speaking for Congress and Omar’s comments have brought "dishonor" to the House of Representatives, the resolution said. [The House that gave 29 standing ovations to a proven war criminal (Benjamin Netanyahu), already had no honor, none whatever. Consequently, it is impossible to bring "dishonor" to the House of Representatives. The House is a den of vipers.]
