Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)
WASHINGTON – New Speaker Kevin McCarthy plans to follow through on his promise to remove Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the U-S House Foreign Affairs Committee.
McCarthy, a Republican, said Wednesday that he will block the Minnesota Democrat and California Congressmen Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from their committee assignments. McCarthy said following the November election that he would strip Omar from the committee due to what she said about Israeli-US relations.
It would take a majority vote to remove Omar from the committee.
