It is hard to know where to start with the hornet’s nest that was stirred up by the removal of Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee on February 2. The Republicans voted 218 to the Democrats 211 to have her booted off the Committee. Reasons given: Omar made several statements in the past that were objected to by Republicans, according to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy:
Ilhan Omar's past statements make it clear she is unfit to represent the U.S. on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
- She repeatedly used anti-semitic tropes
- She described 9/11 by saying "some people did something"
- She compared America and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played the race card and accused the Republicans of “targeting women of color,” in an alternately impassioned rebuke or childish temper tantrum, depending on your American political cult affiliation. AOC blasted the decision, claiming it was not about “condemnation of anti-semitic remarks, when you have a member of the Republican caucus who talked about Jewish space lasers,” referring to Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose 2018 Facebook post is mangled beyond recognition by AOC’s accusation.
"I had a member of the Republican caucus threaten my life and the Republican caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this Congress."
It is business as usual, in the Divided States of America, where the two sides face off on Twitter and go at it: Neither side shows any mercy, neither side gives an inch. The issue becomes a multitude of issues, then the mudslinging spirals out of control, until both sides are either bored or exhausted, or another crisis explodes on Twitter, via the compliant mainstream media.
