Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, one day after a second Republican holdout \u2014\u00a0Rep. Ken Buck (Colo.) \u2014 revealed that he would back the congresswoman\u2019s ouster.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s announcement of a Thursday vote came shortly after the House <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved, by unanimous consent, Democratic assignments for the Foreign Affairs Committee \u2014 officially installing Omar on the panel and setting up a floor battle with McCarthy and House GOP leadership. Republicans have sought to remove her from the panel as punishment for comments she made in the past that were labeled antisemitic.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cOh, so now we can vote her off,\u201d McCarthy told reporters after learning that the House approved the assignments. Thursday\u2019s schedule released by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) confirmed that the vote will take place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll have enough votes even though there\u2019s some members who are out, unfortunately, because of family,\u201d McCarthy added.<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker also made his announcement after Buck, who staked his opposition to the resolution last week, revealed that he would support the resolution when it comes to the floor. He told reporters that he flipped to the \u201cyes\u201d column after a Wednesday morning phone call with McCarthy, who suggested he was willing to reform the process for kicking members off committees.<\/p>\n<p>Buck is the second Republican to flip from an opponent of the resolution to a supporter in the past two days, joining Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.), who announced on Tuesday that she would vote for the measure days after initially issuing a blistering statement against it. Spartz said her stance pivoted after McCarthy agreed to \u201cadd due process language\u201d to the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The measure 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 Democrats, however, have said the terms do not formally create such a process because the language is under the \u201cwhereas\u201d section and not the \u201cresolved\u201d section.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy on Wednesday offered details about his conversations with both Buck and Spartz.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhat I told him, and I had this conversation with Victoria too, we want due process. That we would work on process. I don\u2019t know exactly what it\u2019s like. \u2026 Just don\u2019t want to pull something out of thin, out of my head. I actually want to work with the Democrats on it too because I think it\u2019s healthy for the institution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), however, remains opposed to the resolution. The congresswoman has said she does not support \u201ccancel culture\u201d or silencing opinions she does not agree with.<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats are united in opposing the resolution, Republicans can afford to lose only four votes and still clear the measure. McCarthy on Wednesday would not say that Republicans will be united in support of the measure.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI\u201dm not gonna say 100 percent, but it could be,\u201d he said when asked if all Republicans will vote to boot Omar from the Foreign Affairs panel.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans advanced the Omar resolution in a party-line 218-209 vote on Wednesday, sending the measure to the floor for debate and a final vote.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s vote will mark the culmination of a two-plus-year effort by McCarthy, who vowed in 2021 to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs panel should Republicans take control of the House. He doubled down on that pledge after winning the Speaker\u2019s gavel last month.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Omar, a Somali refugee, has made comments critical of the Israeli government and its supporters in the past, some of which have been accused of being antisemitic. She has especially spoken out on matters involving Palestinian rights.<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrats, however, see the effort to oust Omar as political revenge for when the Democratic-controlled House voted in 2021 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 after they promoted violence against Democrats online.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also vowed to block Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee, a pledge he followed through with last week. As Speaker, McCarthy had the unilateral ability to block the appointments of Schiff and Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But to kick Omar off of the Foreign Affairs panel, a majority of the House must agree.<\/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.
