It has no place in our society and it diminishes the honor of the institution we serve in,\u201d Pressley said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pressley.house.gov\/media\/press-releases\/rep-pressley-leads-resolution-remove-rep-boebert-committee-assignments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout meaningful accountability for that Member\u2019s actions, we risk normalizing this behavior and endangering the lives of our Muslim colleagues, Muslim staffers and every Muslim who calls America home. The House must unequivocally condemn this incendiary rhetoric and immediately pass this resolution. How we respond in moments like these will have lasting impacts, and history will remember us for it,\u201d Pressley added. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/11\/17\/house-censures-paul-gosar-strips-committee-seats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: House Votes To Censure And Strip Gosar Of Committees)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is not certain whether Democratic leadership will take up the resolution, which would strip Boebert of her seats on the Budget and Natural Resources Committees, but it follows dozens of Democratic lawmakers officially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/02\/more-than-40-house-democrats-call-boebert-be-stripped-committee-assignments-over-anti-muslim-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calling<\/a> for Boebert to lose her assignments last week.<\/p>\n<p>Omar said that she was confident that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would ultimately take action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had a conversation with the speaker and I\u2019m very confident that she will take decisive action next week,\u201d Omar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/05\/politics\/ilhan-omar-nancy-pelosi-lauren-boebert-cnntv\/index.html\">told<\/a> CNN Sunday. \u201cAs you know, when I first got to Congress, I was worried that, you know, I wasn\u2019t going to be allowed to be sworn in because there was a ban on the hijab.
