Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) on Tuesday revealed a measure proposing the removal of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in opposition to calls from Democratic leaders to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committee assignments over violent and anti-Semitic remarks made in recent years, The Hill reports.
The House Rules Committee on Wednesday is scheduled to consider a resolution, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), to strip Greene of her seats on two committees — Budget as well as Education and Labor — due to unspecified “conduct she has exhibited.”
Greene has come under fire for her support of claims that school shootings were staged, including the 2012 killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
CNN reported last week that Greene, in online posts before running for office, expressed support for executing Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
She also raised the ire of Jewish groups after it came to light that she had embraced anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on social media.
In a Facebook post in 2018, Greene implicated “Rothschild Inc” in connection with a deadly forest fire that, she wrote, was started using laser beams from space.
Babin, who was among the group of Republican lawmakers who voted in favor of challenging certain Biden electors even after the violent pro-Trump riot at the Capitol, tweeted Tuesday evening that he planned on offering an amendment to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in an apparent protest to calls to remove Greene’s committee assignments.
“If the Democrat Majority wants to go down this road, they should start by dealing with their own members who have been at this before and AFTER their election to Congress,” Babin wrote, according to The Hill.
He attached screenshots of a list of past statements made by Omar, including one made in 2012 in which she wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
Omar is notorious for her past controversial statements on Israel. She came under fire in 2019 after she suggested on Twitter that Republicans were attacking her at the behest of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC.
She subsequently issued a half-hearted apology before ultimately deleting the controversial tweets.
Last September, Omar called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s “existence” a problem in an interview with CBS.
More recently, she accused Israel of violating international law and carrying out “ethnic cleansing” after Israeli security forces demolished homes built illegally by Bedouin in the Jordan Valley.
Babin’s office did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for additional comment on his measure.

Omar, on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. In other words an anti Semitic, anti American terrorist supporter, that Omar is, on the House Foreign Affairs Committee! The House and Senate are a total joke. We have traitors to our Country in Washington DC.
And we have a puppet traitor in the White House that does the biddings of his handlers. (traitorous puppeteers)
We the U.S. have been taken over by the “Socialist Democrat Party State”.
(Rule and Ruin)
Omar on the House Foreign Affairs Committee is no different from China, Cuba and Pakistan on the United Nations Human Rights Council. (Members since 2010 have included such stellar upholders of human rights as Iraq and Saudi Arabia.)
This is Business As Usual under left-leaning organizations: show a bad person how to be good by example, and he’ll become good.
Omar has proved she is qualified to conduct foreign affairs, when she had an affair with her brother to get him citizenship by marrying him,
She was first married to Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 in a Muslim ceremony, before they split in 2008 – but she later had another child with Hirsi while legally wed to Ahmed Elmi, the brother she married in order to keep him in the United States. Omar was married to her second husband Elmi in 2009 by a Christian minister – although she is Muslim. In 2011 Omar and Elmi divorced religiously, but remained married legally. These relations are about as foreign as any can get, as in America, if you are married by a Christian minister, you cannot get divorced by a Muslim one and still remain legally married. Just who elects such people who totally flaunt our domestics laws for their own benefit to public office is way beyond sane comprehension.
What a model citizen.
SHE needs to not just be removed from that committee, but congress it self.. BUT THESE DAYS, i just don’t ever see that happening.
When controlled by Democrats, the House of Representative is nothing more than a snake pit of wild accusations and threats. Using the FAKE standards contrived by Pelosi and the House Democrats, could any Democrat withstand the same scrutiny they require of Republicans? No, they would all have to be removed or resign.
Prob is, THEY KNOW THE Republicans, are too SPINELESS to ever do that..
Omar is a threat to our democracy!
Aren’t they all?
No, not all, but many on both sides of the isle.
Omar is Racist, Anti-Semitic, supports Islamic Terrorism, Hates Israel . These are just a few of the reasons why not only should she NOT be on the Foreign Affairs Committee, she does NOT belong in our Congress PERIOD !
I keep saying it, but ISLAM ITSELF should have never ever been ALLOWED IN THIS NATION period.. LET ALONE congress…
She seems to be average race baiter, smear merchant and bigoted house member of the Democrat party. She has even made the racists and terrorists seem reasonable and sane. She certainly isn’t alone in this mental disorder.
If we know enough about Islam we know that they are taught to lie. They sneak in to our countries government 180 degrees opposed to our values and now they are tearing us down from within. I am surprised we do not have to pay Jizya yet but it is on the horizon. Since Omar is a Muslim she should be watched carefully and have nothing to do with security at all. Put her in charge of cleaning the capitols bathrooms and tending any live stock on the premises. Let’s not forget that our former president O bam a was responsible for bringing the likes of her here. Nuff said.
Not just taught to lie, BUT COMMANDED TO do so.
Well it’s about time and VERY late someone started objecting to this sleaze bag and the rest of her anti American squad. Hard to believe they even got to DC never name what they’ve gotten away with.
The hypocritical, politically-correct House Democrats were absolutely delighted to welcome anti-American, anti-Semitic Ilhan Omar to the chamber and quickly abolished a long-standing rule against head coverings to allow Omar to wear the hijab which is a misogynic, barbaric culture’s symbol of Islam’s oppression of women. Neither Ilhan Omar nor the hijab have any place in the congress or in a modern democratic society that is committed to protecting the basic human rights of all of its members.
She needs to be deported as she is so anti-American and unpatriotic and constantly complaining about how the US is. How can someone like that be allowed to participate in our polititcs. Are the democrats that hardup for members. Her marriage business is disgraceful and what she did about it, She is the camel with its nose in our tent. She is corrupt in other matters; is that why she qualifies to be another corrupt democrat? Who in the hell was dumb enough to elect her. She must to be a puppet of Soros or the muslim brotherhood. I’ve worked for muslims for years and they were great, but this one has got to go. What is it with the American politics? The only qualification you need to be a politician is to lie and be corrupt. What a disgrace to a very few decent ones and the people.
No, she is not in there because the Democrats are “Hard Up For Members”, she is in there because the Democrats DON’T care WHAT your views, or beliefs are, as long as they fit in with THEIR beliefs ! Unfortunately, the beliefs of MANY Democrats today are Racist, Anti-Semitic, unpatriotic, and Un American, and these people do NOT belong in our American Congress ! EXAMPLE- THE SQUAD !!
Can we get a fact check on aisle 1?
“….the violent pro-Trump riot at the Capitol.”
There was no violent (or “deadly”) pro Trump activity at the Capitol. There was a peaceful pro Trump event about a mile away and while that was still underway an orchestrated Anti-F.A. riot at the Capitol.
Youd have a better chance of winning BOTH the power ball AND mega millions in the same week, than you would, of getting a FACT CHECK on what these louts say..
Everyone who has voted for and supports this administration is guilty of treason against the United States of America. Likewise every person who has been placed in a position that enables them to conduct acts of perversion against a christian nation is guilty of treason and should be handled as such.
Don’t remove her from the Foreign Affairs Committee, remove her from America.
Permanently, if at all possible.
She should be removed from OUR government period! It’s sad that this country doesn’t have enough sense to not allow foreigners into their government. You don’t have to be a mensa member to know how stupid of an idea that is……..
She is blatantly anti-Semitic, that is a huge problem. Israel is a friend of the U.S., she is NOT!
