The rule also pertained to a GOP-led resolution condemning <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ism.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>It remains unclear when House Republicans will bring the Omar resolution to the floor for debate and a final vote. Democrats still need to formally submit a separate resolution with their roster for the Foreign Affairs Committee, which will officially place Omar on the panel.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy had faced some trouble in locking down support, but House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) told reporters on Tuesday that Republican leadership has the votes to boot Omar from the panel. <\/p>\n<p>GOP leadership got a win on Tuesday night when Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) announced she would support the resolution, flipping from her previous opposition. The congresswoman said the \u201cdue process language\u201d added to the resolution helped move her from the \u201cno\u201d to the \u201cyes\u201d column.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution released Tuesday night says \u201cany Member reserves the right to bring a case before the Committee on Ethics as grounds for an appeal to the Speaker of the House for reconsideration of any committee removal decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans are moving to oust Omar from her committee assignment as a rebuke for comments she has made that have been labeled antisemitic. The congresswoman \u2014\u00a0a Somali refugee \u2014\u00a0has been critical of the Israeli government and its supporters in the past, especially when it comes to matters related to Palestinian rights, which led to the allegations of antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/sites\/republicans.rules118.house.gov\/files\/BILLS-118HRes76ih.pdf\">resolution<\/a>, introduced on Tuesday, includes a number of such comments.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rep. Guy Reschelthaler (R-Pa.) listed several during debate on the rule Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRep. Omar has a repeated history of making deplorable and despicable antisemitic remarks and does not deserve to sit on the committee directly overseeing U.S. international policy, partnerships and national security,\u201d he said on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>But the move is also seen by some as political revenge, after the House Democratic majority voted to s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) of their committee assignments in 2021 after they promoted violence against Democrats on social media.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to Congresswoman Omar \u2014 a good congresswoman who fights hard for her district and for her values \u2014 this isn\u2019t about punishing her for anything she said. It\u2019s about scoring political points,\u201d Rep. Jim McGovern (Mass.), the top Democrat on the Rules Committee, said on the House floor.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy vowed in 2021 that House Republicans would remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee should the GOP win control of the chamber. After winning the Speakership last month, he reiterated that pledge.<\/p>\n<p>He also said he would block California Democrats Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee, which he did unilaterally last week. Unlike the Foreign Affairs Committee, which requires a full vote by the chamber to remove a member, McCarthy as Speaker can reject appointments to the Intelligence panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
