Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), will press forward with a privileged resolution to strip Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) of her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee following remarks she made appearing to compare the United States and Israel to terrorist regimes, Hamas and the Taliban \u2014 but Democrats say they will not take action against Omar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-on-ilhan-omar-equating-u-s-with-terror-groups-we-did-not-rebuke-her-shes-valued-by-us\">As the Daily Wire reported Sunday<\/a>, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to condemn Omar for her remarks, calling Omar a \u201cvalued\u201d member of the Democratic caucus, and insisting that a statement Pelosi made last week on Omar\u2019s comments was not a \u201crebuke,\u201d but rather a message of \u201cthanks\u201d for a \u201cclarification\u201d Omar issued late Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not rebuke her,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cWe thanked \u2014 acknowledged that she made a clarification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Omar wrote, in a tweet, \u201cWe must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.\u201d She later said that she was referencing cases before the International Criminal Court while in conversation with Secretary of State Antony Bliken, but did not point to specific examples of American and Israeli \u201catrocities\u201d or \u201ccrimes against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Punchbowl news, Rep. McCarthy is expected to fast-track a motion to remove Omar from her committee assignment, similar to what Democrats did with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) following her own controversial remarks. The motion is marked as \u201cprivileged\u201d putting it ahead of other House business.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"5.0467289719626\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8NEWS in \u2066<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PunchbowlNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PunchbowlNews<\/a>\u2069 AM. \u2066<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GOPLeader<\/a>\u2069 likely to move to strip \u2066<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IlhanMN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@IlhanMN<\/a>\u2069 of committee assignments. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BCUdPX8qbO\">https:\/\/t.co\/BCUdPX8qbO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qz3FHZQQJW\">pic.twitter.com\/qz3FHZQQJW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JakeSherman\/status\/1404387697867776000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Eight Republicans sent a letter to Pelosi late last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-republicans-who-voted-to-remove-taylor-greene-from-committees-demand-pelosi-do-the-same-for-ilhan-omar\">according to Fox News<\/a>, demanding the Speaker take her own action against the Minnesota Democrat, reminding Pelosi that \u201cit is the responsibility of the party\u2019s leadership in the House of Representatives to hold accountable egregious words and actions made by Members of the Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongresswoman Ilhan Omar has made a congressional career out of the following: Fueling anti-Semitic violence against Jewish communities by perpetuating false stereotypes and anti-Semitic tropes; denigrating strategic allies of the United States; accusing members of Congress of unconstitutionally pleading allegiance to a foreign sovereign because of their support of the U.S.-Israel partnership; whitewashing the September 11 terrorist attacks that resulted in the death of over 3,000 innocent Americans, and drawing [an] equivalence between the United States and criminal organizations such as Hamas and the Taliban\u2014both of which have been deemed by the Department of State as terrorist organizations,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have also pressed forward with a separate resolution pushing censure against Omar and other members of the \u201cSquad\u201d that rushed to her defense, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who accused Pelosi of \u201cpolicing women of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats appear to be concerned, however, with policing internal conflict instead. After \u201cclarifying\u201d her remarks about Israel, the United States, and \u201cterrorist\u201d activities, Omar lashed out at Jewish Democrats who broke with party leadership and condemned her remarks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/aoc-far-left-democrats-lash-out-after-jewish-democrats-slam-ilhan-omar-for-comparing-u-s-israel-to-terrorists\">members of the \u201cSquad\u201d quickly followed suit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Omar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/ilhan-omar-slams-jewish-democrat-critics-accuses-colleagues-of-islamophobia-harassment\">accused her colleagues of \u201charassment\u201d and \u201cIslamophobia<\/a>.\u201d Ocasio-Cortez accused the group of \u201cconstant vilification, intentional mischaracterization, and public targeting of @IlhanMN\u201d and Tlaib tweeted that \u201cFreedom of speech doesn\u2019t exist for Muslim women in Congress. The benefit of the doubt doesn\u2019t exist for Muslim women in Congress. House Democratic leadership should be ashamed of its relentless, exclusive tone policing of Congresswomen of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The harsh words prompted Pelosi to try to appear neutral on the issue on Sunday, it seems, but Monday\u2019s Republican moves may prompt more ire.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
