Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said he is undecided on whether he will vote to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, expressing concern about censorship of opposing views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I think a lot of Republicans want to kick Ilhan Omar off of the Foreign Affairs Committee is because they don\u2019t like what she has to say,\u201d Gaetz\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepMattGaetz\/status\/1620250243328610305\">said\u00a0on Newsmax<\/a> Monday night.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI am undecided as of tonight as to whether or not I would vote to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, because it\u2019s one thing to do dangerous things to the country with intelligence. It\u2019s quite another to say, \u2018I don\u2019t like your viewpoint, and thus I want to remove you,\u2019\u201d Gaetz said. \u201cI don\u2019t support that with DirecTV and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>max. I didn\u2019t support it when it was directed at my friend and colleague, [Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz\u2019s uncertainty on the issue is adding to a whip count problem for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) fulfilling his longtime promise of removing Omar from the panel over remarks that many Republicans have said are antisemitic. Omar has apologized for those comments.<\/p>\n<p>Three House Republicans \u2014 Reps. Ken Buck (Colo.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.) and Nancy Mace (S.C.) \u2014 have indicated that they will\u00a0not support\u00a0blocking Omar from the committee.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy has already moved to unilaterally block Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee. But he will need the support of a majority of the whole House to block Omar. If all Democrats support Omar, he can only afford to lose four Republican votes.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of a vote to remove Omar from the committee is uncertain, as the opposition along with GOP absences \u2014 Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) will be out for several weeks recovering from a serious fall, for instance \u2014 creates a math problem for GOP leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz said that he views the situation with Schiff and Swalwell differently.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t say that Trump was a Russian agent based on information from a particular committee that was just totally bogus,\u201d Gaetz said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t lump Omar and Schiff and Swalwell together in one bucket. Very different with the Intelligence Committee,\u201d Gaetz said.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy removed Schiff from the Intelligence panel over objections to how he handled investigations into former President Trump, accusing him of misrepresenting what he found in the probe. And Republicans charge that Swalwell\u2019s connection to a suspected Chinese spy who was associated with his 2014 campaign makes him a security risk.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Schiff has brushed off McCarthy\u2019s reasoning as political retribution, while Swalwell has noted that he cooperated with the FBI once he was alerted to the suspected spy.<\/p>\n<p>Gaetz suggested that Omar be subject to a House Ethics Committee process if there is reason to believe she has brought discredit on the House. But he also said that he wants to give deference to McCarthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Updated at 9:02 a.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
