That has been a very enlightening part of this journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been quite a journey. It&#8217;s merely happenstance, Omar would have you believe, that she \u2014 along with her bestie, Rashida Tlaib, a woman who gets a &#8220;calming feeling&#8221; Thinking about the Holocaust&#8217;s aftermath is what pro-Zionist Jews are exploiting &#8220;regular Americans&#8221; For &#8220;their profit,&#8221; etc. \u2014 keeps tripping into old-school Jew-baiting. What are the chances?<\/p>\n<p>Omar was born in Omar, and has been living in America since her teens. Omar graduated high school in a major American town. She received a B.A. North Dakota State University, in political science. It&#8217;s likely she&#8217;s had a lot of American culture in her lifetime. I assume she has consumed American culture over all of her interactions as an academic. &#8220;fellow&#8221; As a government employee, she has never heard of a stereotype that Jews are hypnotizing nations or motivated by money. This is quite an achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Omar shouldn\u2019t have been demoted to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She believes that the world is being brainwashed by rootless cosmopolitans. &#8220;Benjamins.&#8221; She should have lost her job for downplaying 9\/11. She is not morally or ideologically ready for the job. Nancy Pelosi established a precedent in denying Kevin McCarthy the choices for the Jan.6 committee. This effectively created a show trial and stripped Paul Gosar of his committee appointments. Republicans should unseat Omar by using her standards.<\/p>\n<p>After a dumb, bigoted joke about Omar was made by Democrats, Lauren Boebert introduced a resolution that would strip Lauren Boebert off all House committee assignments. &#8220;we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone \u2014 condemn this, that we are going to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democrats had the opportunity to be adults. &#8220;send a clear and decisive message&#8221; The American public was outraged by Omar&#8217;s bigotry and backed a weak resolution. It contained platitudes condemning the treatment of Alfred Dreyfus, Leo Frank, and condemning antiJapanese discrimination in World War II. But not Omar. That&#8217;s okay. These congressional resolutions are a form of performative nonsense. Every member of Congress can directly tell us what he thinks. Omar is exempted, however, from occasional tepid rebukes of fellow Jewish Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Omar&#8217;s rhetoric has become a standard in activist and academic leftist circles. Omar could easily read the Hamas Charter in the Congressional Record, and her defenders would claim that she was merely being a spokesman. &#8220;critical&#8221; Israel. The Washington Post partisans will continue to criticize her despite what she may say and how many times she lies. &#8220;inextricable from her religion.&#8221; The victim of bigotry is in fact the one who does it.<\/p>\n<p>Omar is free to believe whatever she wants. Her constituents are free to continue sending her to Congress. The House majority can refuse Omar&#8217;s seats on committees. McCarthy can unilaterally disqualify Adam Schiff, the most corrupt member in Congress, or Eric Swalwell from serving on an intelligence committee. But Omar would need a full House majority vote to remove Omar. Perhaps it is a bad habit to block appointments to partisan Committees. However, unilateral disarmament is also possible.<\/p>\n<p>David Harsanyi serves as a senior editor for The Federalist.
