She was removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee

I find it extremely interesting that Republicans want to vote someone out of power over something they themselves do to other people.


They can incite an insurrection, make sexist laws, sic the US MILITARY on innocent US citizens who were peacefully protesting, support police brutality, vote against advances toward ending child marriage, support a president who denied science and delayed possibly rising above Covid when it was fresh, etc, and not get removed from power but the opposite party, who doesn’t do anything nearly as bad as them gets removed from power. .


And that’s not to say she doesn’t deserve it or that other (Democrats) who does bad 💩 doesn’t deserve to be removed but where’s the damn recipiency? It always seem to be Democrats getting humbled. In most cases, Democrats humble other Democrats and Republicans humbling Democrats yet no one’s humbling Republicans where it counts. In office, where they are stripped from causing more harm to society yet they just keep coming and get away with the most disgusting 💩


I am tired of the hypocrisy

Racism, hate

[abc3643]

Well, yes, it was racism... and racism in response to racism.

She's a bigot when it comes to Jews and she's been rather naïve and outspoken about it not realizing what she does. She's a tad too immature to be in Congress - but, then again, about 1/3 of Congress is too immature to be in Congress and we are talking people old enough to be Ilhan Omar's mother or father.

Of course, the GOP never liked her because 1) she's not White, 2) she's not male, 3) she's not a Christian, 4) worse, she's a Muslim, and 5) she's not "a real American".

So, they punted her.

It's sort of a tit-for-tat though because traitorous "real American" Majorie Taylor Greene got into shit on the committee she was on and I think was removed.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yes, it is about her racism.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[Asker]

You are welcome Sir

[worldscolide]

She was removed for being someone who hates Jews. being antisemitic.. She also denied the holocaust, or rather said it was no worse than 9/11.. How the hell is millions dead no worse than 9/11

Additionally there is evidence that she married her brother so that he could get citizenship.

Basically she's a racist piece of shit, but because she has the correct skin color and correct politics, it was ignored until the GOP took the house and did something about it. And yes the crypt keeper aka Nancy did the exact same thing to republicans for far less.

[CrazyGirl2]

She has made many many many antisemitic comments, and was even officially condemned by Democrats on the floor of the House of Representatives, but she has continued to make antisemitic and anti Israel remarks. So the foreign relations committee wasn’t exactly the best place for an antisemite. Her position on the foreign relations committee added an air of “approval” if you will to her comments. At least that’s what I read.

[CrazyGirl2]

@jennz6 Oh and also, just to add to the evidence that it was not racism, the republicans also ousted TWO white men, Adam Schiff (D) CA, and Eric Swalwell (D) CA. Swalwell was removed from the House intelligence committee, because he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, and Schiff also from the House intelligence committee for lying to the American people about “evidence” that Fmr Presented Trump colluded with Russia to subvert the 2016 election, that he allegedly “saw with my own eyes”, when in fact there was no evidence, he just lied. All three are on other committees, they were only removed from the committees which their respective behavior negated their eligibility to effectively serve.

I would say it's because she's not up to the job and is a political embarrassment. The democrats blame the republicans publicly but in reality behind the scenes they weilded the axe.

From Reuters

[exitseven]

She hates Israel and also hates America. She fraudulently married her brother so he could stay in this country. She is a bad citizen and needs to be removed from any position of influence.

[XXblack88]

Yes, her making racist remarks got her removed from congress.

[Gagname]

She was NOT removed from Congress. Instead she was removed from the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.

[XXblack88]

@Gagname Why cnn out of all news companies 😒

[XXblack88]

rather it was from congress or house of representatives foreign affairs committee it still a step in the right direction.

[Gagname]

That was the first article from a news company that I saw when I did my search..

[jshm2]

They were racist against her, and she was not "republican" enough.

[CrazyGirl2]

Actually it was because of MULTIPLE acts of open public antisemitism, and she also described 3000 dead Americans in the street’s of New York, the pentagon, and a field in PA, on 9/11 as “some people did a thing”, and she also fraudulently married her brother to defraud the U. S. immigration system, and keep him in the country.

[LimitedBenefits101]

ABOUT FUCKING TIME SHE GOT REMOVED, can't stand that 304

Even her muslim people can't stand her and that SHOULD TELL YOU A LOT.

[LiamJHayden]

Same reason the D's removed MTG - anti-Semitic statements.

[CrazyGirl2]

Yep!

[Jerre]

Her continuous racist remarks about Israel, Jews, etc.

[Jerre]

Thank you for the Like

[jshm2]

Being anti-zionist isn't "racist" dumbass. and the occupying state of Israel has a worse human rights record than Saudi Arabia and China in many regards

[supercutebutt]

Only white members of Congress like MTG are allowed to bash the Jews.

[saffoler]

Because of her views on Israel.

[slatyb]

Yes, mostly it was about racism.

[Pterodon]
