The vote to remove the Somali-born Muslim lawmaker came after her past comments critical of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press reported almost two years ago that Marjorie Taylor Greene was being removed from House committees. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidharsanyi\/status\/1621203114954047490\/photo\/2\">As so<\/a>: \u201cBREAKING: The U.S. House votes to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees for spreading violent, racist rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you\u2019ll notice is that one says \u201cthe House\u201d The other votes against Taylor Greene&#8217;s nomination for a spot in the committee. \u201cHouse Republicans\u201d Omar was booted (and it was exactly the same over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/02\/02\/1153472237\/ilhan-omar-foreign-affairs-committee-vote-republicans-remove\">NPR<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/amp\/politics\/watch-house-republicans-vote-to-oust-democrat-omar-from-foreign-affairs-committee\">PBS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/republicans-boot-ilhan-omar-foreign-174122413.html\">Yahoo!<\/a>, etc.). Kevin McCarthy, Republican House Speaker, has the power unilaterally to expel Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from the intelligence committee. However, the whole House was required to remove Omar. <\/p>\n<p><em>Evidently<\/em> As almost all votes these day are, both votes were largely partisan. It\u2019s a newsworthy fact. Yet AP editors simply couldn\u2019t leave that aspect of the story out of the headline for only one of these incidents, even though Democrats acted in an unprecedented manner when creating the precedent.<\/p>\n<p>However, Taylor Greene&#8217;s claim of being expelled is even more misleading \u201cspreading violent, racist rhetoric,\u201d Omar, however, was targeted for the seemingly innocuous crime of being \u201ccritical of Israel.\u201d This is a lie that can be repeated over and over again. <\/p>\n<p>Many politicians are \u201ccritical of Israel.\u201d Omar doesn\u2019t believe the Jewish people deserve a state, no matter what policies Israel engages in short of packing up. She is critical about the existence and future of this nation. That\u2019s a pretty important distinction. <\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not even the problem here.
