(Erin Schaff\/The New York Times via AP, Pool, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>\nUPDATED 7:33 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, February 3, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) has proposed removing Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from her committee assignments. The Texas Republican announced the measure Tuesday with other GOP lawmakers, while arguing Omar made anti-Semitic comments that are grounds for dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>This came in response to calls from Democrat leaders to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from the House Education and Labor Committee as well as the Budget Committee. The House Rules Committee is scheduled to consider a resolution Wednesday to remove Taylor Greene from her assignments.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) signaled his affinity for the establishment by taking aim at the Georgia representative. On Tuesday, the top Republican told reporters he was pretty clear about his views on the freshman lawmaker.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell referred to Taylor Greene as a cancer to the Republican Party over her embrace of what he called \u201clooney lies\u201d and \u201cconspiracy theories.\u201d He also signaled his support for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) over calls from other Republicans to remove her from party leadership.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democrats are trying to overturn the 2016 election AGAIN.<\/p>\n<p>I voted NO. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ua1diMkMgE\">pic.twitter.com\/Ua1diMkMgE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
