The bill for Ilhan Omar’s past controversies is coming due.
Omar worried this day would come.
Ilhan Omar is about to get fired for one jaw-dropping reason.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Punchbowl News he planned to follow through on his promise to kick Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee and to boot Omar off the Foreign Affairs Committee.
“Swalwell can’t get a security clearance in the private sector. I’m not going to give him a government security clearance,” McCarthy stated. “Schiff has lied too many times to the American public. He should not be on Intel.”
Swalwell carried on a sexual relationship with a Communist Chinese spy and Schiff lied for years about having evidence that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians in 2016.
McCarthy can kick Schiff and Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee on his own.
But McCarthy must hold a vote of the full House to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
McCarthy explained to Punchbowl that Nancy Pelosi set this standard in the last Congress.
“I made all [three] cases before. It’s not like it’s anything new… Remember, this is what Nancy Pelosi, this is the type of Congress she wanted to have,” McCarthy added.
In Omar’s case, Republicans are looking to hold her accountable for her history of anti-Semitic remarks.
Omar’s compared Israel defending itself from Palestinian terrorist attacks to the Taliban terrorizing innocent women saying “we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.”
“We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity,” Omar declared.
Omar then peddled anti-Semitic conspiracy theories questioning if Jewish Americans held dual loyalty to the United States and Israel.
“I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” Omar also said, “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee.”
Finally, Omar claimed a cabal of wealthy Jewish donors controlled American politics posting on Twitter “it’s all about the Benjamins baby.”
Democrats never held Omar accountable for this bigotry.
Pelosi held a vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism but never mentioned Omar by name.
That all changed now that Republicans are in charge of Congress.
Omar and the Democrats only have themselves to blame for this.
Nancy Pelosi violated the norm that each party picks what committees their members serve on.
And just like Democrats learned when Harry Reid nuked the filibuster for lower court nominations and executive branch appointments, when one party violates a norm, the other party will follow suit and force them to live under their own rules.
