Ken Buck (R.CO) stood by far-left Rep. Ilhanomar (D.MN), late last week, against a push for her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her history of antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"1\">Buck\u2019s support for Omar put Speaker Kevin McCarthy\u2019s desire to remove her from the Committee in danger of failing after two other Republicans have already signaled opposition to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we should not engage in this tit-for-tat,\u201d Buck spoke during an interview.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"41\">\u201cI have a little bit less certainty about Congressman Schiff and Swalwell on Intelligence just because it\u2019s a little bit different than a regular committee,\u201d He concluded. \u201cBut I\u2019m going to think through that and make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"41\">Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/01\/28\/ken-buck-committee-assignments-omar\">Noted<\/a> His office claims that he\u00a0\u201cwouldn\u2019t support the removal of Rep. Omar\u201d The Committee.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"41\">One of Omar\u2019s biggest defenders has been Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who claimed that it was a First Amendment issue.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"3\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have to agree with everything that members say,\u201d Mace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/booting-rep-omar-house-foreign-affairs-committee-cancel-culture-gop-rep-mace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-reader-unique-id=\"4\">Submitted<\/a> Fox News.\u00a0\u201cI think we have to be very careful about what we are as a constitutional republic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"7\">\u201cI am not a fan of Ilhan Omar. She\u2019s an anti-Semite. She\u2019s a bigot. She\u2019s a racist. She\u2019s a socialist,\u201d Mace continued. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean that we cancel people in this country. Republicans don\u2019t stand for cancel culture. And that\u2019s essentially what this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"8\">Mace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/republican-nancy-mace-again-defends-anti-semite-racist-socialist-ilhan-omar\">Claim<\/a> Omar must be expelled from the House Foreign Affairs Committee \u201csets a dangerous precedent,\u201d Despite the fact that Republicans were previously kicked out of committees by Democrats for making controversial comments,<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"9\">\u201cThere\u2019s so much anti-Semitism in this country. We should be condemning it right and left as we always have, but there\u2019s also the First Amendment right to do that,\u201d She spoke.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re all talking about the Twitter files and conservatives being censored, you know, it\u2019s, it\u2019s, it seems pretty hypocritical if you ask me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"14\">Omar replied that she was trying to get her out of the committee. \u201ca blow to the integrity of our democratic institutions, and a threat to our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"15\">Mace was the first to jump to Omar\u2019s defense, claiming a few weeks ago that it was about principle.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"18\">\u201cI\u2019m not going to support it,\u201d Mace stated. \u201cI try to be consistent in my values \u2026 regardless of who\u2019s in charge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"19\">Rep. Victoria Spartz (R.IN) indicated this week that her opposition to Omar&#8217;s removal from Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"20\">\u201cTwo wrongs do not make a right,\u201d Spartz made the statement Tuesday. \u201cSpeaker Pelosi took unprecedented actions last Congress to remove Reps. Greene and Gosar from their committees without proper due process. Speaker McCarthy is taking unprecedented actions this Congress to deny some committee assignments to the Minority without proper due process again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"23\">\u201cAs I spoke against it on the House floor two years ago, I will not support this charade again,\u201d She claimed. \u201cSpeaker McCarthy needs to stop \u2018bread and circuses\u2019 in Congress and start governing for a change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
