Ilhan Omar 'repeatedly used anti-Semitic tropes and compared America and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban': Kevin McCarthy explains why Democrat was booted from committee after AOC's meltdown

House Republicans on Thursday voted to kick Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her anti-Semitic comments in chaotic scenes in Congress.
Democrats screamed 'no' before the GOP completed Speaker Kevin McCarthy's bid to get the Squad member removed over past comments comparing Israel to Hamas and the Taliban and saying the relationship between the Jewish state and the U.S. is 'all about the Benjamins' in 2019.
'She described 9/11 by saying "some people did something",' McCarthy said when explaining why he wanted to boot her from the committee in a press conference after she was kicked off
In total 218 members of the GOP voted to strip Omar of her assignment - with Rep. David Joyce of Ohio voting president - while 211 Democrats backed their colleague.
McCarthy insisted Omar's removal was not 'breast-for-tat' - brushing off Democrat allegations it is 'revenge' for removing Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from their assignments.
Perhaps these Republicans forgot that radical Republican MTG was given a nice committee assignment even though she is the most rabid anti Semite in Congress:
AOC to GOP: Don't tell me you're condemning anti-Semitism when a Republican 'who has talked about Jewish space lasers' gets a plum committee assignment

She said Republicans have been rewarded with plum committee assignments after doing worse.
"This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America," she said.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unloaded on Republicans for hypocrisy Thursday while defending her fellow "squad" member, Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Republicans voted to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee because of her controversial comments in the past about Israel. Ocasio-Cortez, in a fiery floor speech, said Republicans have been rewarded for doing worse.
"Don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of anti-Semitic remarks, when you have a member of the Republican caucus who has talked about Jewish space lasers, and also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments in this body," she said, a reference to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. "This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America."
Greene in 2018 published false and anti-Semitic conspiracies alleging the "Camp Fire" wildfire in California was orchestrated by politicians and wealthy Jewish bankers.
After being stripped of committee assignments last Congress for her rhetoric, she now sits on prestigious committees on oversight and homeland security.
There can be no question that these radical anti-America RepubliCONs are the biggest hypocrites and haters anywhere. Impeach and remove them all for the good of the USA and of the world.
), so you tell me what I think about a strong local defense ?
