House votes to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar off committee over anti-Semitic remarks
The GOP-led House voted Thursday to boot Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her past anti-Semitic comments after two Republicans once reluctant to oust her decided to support the resolution for removal. The vote to remove Omar (D-Minn.) from the powerful panel after a heated floor debate broke along party lines, with 218 Republicans voting to strip her of the assignment and 211 Democrats backing their colleague. One Republican, David Joyce of Ohio, voted present. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced the vote Wednesday after the chamber approved the Democratic assignments for the committee, setting the stage for Omar’s ouster. “Oh, so now we can vote her off,” McCarthy told reporters after the assignments were finalized.
