Omar fires back after McCarthy vows to remove her from committees

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) fired back at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) after he vowed to remove Omar from her committee posts if elected Speaker.

“From the moment I was elected, the Republican Party has made it their mission to use fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism to target me on the House Floor and through millions of dollars of campaign ads,” Omar said in a statement.

“Whether it is Marjorie Taylor Greene holding a gun next to my head in campaign ads or Donald Trump threatening to ‘send me back’ to my country (despite the fact that I have been a proud citizen of the United States for more than 20 years), this constant stream of hate has led to hundreds of death threats and credible plots against me and my family,” she added.

McCarthy during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News reiterated his pledge to remove Omar, as well as Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), from their committees.

1. They fear knowledge.

2. It's payback for the ones congress voted off committees

I guess that’s how congress will be from here on out.

4. King and Greene - where there others?

[jimfields33]

5. I think that was it. I guess they're adding one.

Maybe they won’t even have the votes.

6. If they push it

She should put together a couple of large bullet point posters of actions taken by GOPers who didn't lose their committee assignments compared to what she is accused of doing.

10. I think King was removed by the Republicans in the last Congress. He is not here now

Green and Gosar plus those removed from the 1/6 committee. Although the 1/6 committee was do me under the Rules Established for the committee once the republicans got everything they wanted and still did not vote for the establishment.

16. and women who don't just "shut up." Then you're a "nasty woman" according to the Orange Boy. nt

3. Good.

That is the way to fight these individuals.

So was criticism of support for the IRA and Ireland in the 1970s/1980s anti-Celtic?

[H2O Man]

14. Yes.

[NotANeocon]

17. WTf is "anti-Celtic"?

Is it 'not' cheering for a Scottish soccer team?

As to support of the IRA in the 50s and 60s that was - and still is - Irish Constitutional Free Speech as endorsed - in both the Gaelic and foreign language version of Bunreacht na hÉireann (Constitution of the People Of Ireland) Article 40 S1 passed in 1937.

7. We get it , HE'S A RACIST

and an ISLAMAPHOBE... A man reveals himself by his ACTIONS, a BLIND man could see that coming a mile away.

8. When Speaker(?) McCarthy comes begging for some DEM help,

the ad hoc meeting him to hear and understand what he needs should be Omar, Swalwell, and Schiff.

[mahina]

11. Oh yes!

[not fooled]

9. Dems remove racists, pukes remove diversity

Got it.

12. McCarthy and the rest of the GOP sewerage in the House are nothing more than vandals and gangsters.

They do not care one whit about this country or the people in it and they are not fit to lead. They are only in office thanks to their completely brainwashed FOX audience.

These scumbag's agenda should be kneecapped at every possible opportunity by the Dems, with rare exception. They need to be force-fed their own bullshit for a change.

13. Payback for Boebert's de-platforming as well.

[H2O Man]

15. Recommended.

Rep. Omar is one of my favorite politicians.
