<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delivered on his promise Thursday to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over her extensive history of anti-Semitism.</p>
<p>Of the 222 Republicans in the House, 218 voted to remove Omar, while three did not vote and one, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH), voted &#8220;present.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaker McCarthy outlined many of the inflammatory and bigoted remarks that Omar has made, including the use of anti-Semitic tropes, comparing the U.S. Military to Islamic terrorist organizations, describing the events of 9/11 as &#8220;some people did something,&#8221; among numerous other statements. McCarthy also noted that Omar has &#8220;never apologized&#8221; for many of her remarks.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not removing her from other committees,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We just do not believe when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position around the world with the comments that you make. She shouldn&#8217;t serve there.&#8221;</p>
<p>McCarthy dismissed claims that Republicans were engaging in a &#8220;tit for tat&#8221; after Democrats kicked some Republicans off all of their committee assignments.</p>
<p>&#8220;If it was tit for tat, we would have picked people, took them off all committees and said nothing about it,&#8221; McCarthy explained.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Speaker McCarthy addresses the House vote to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, saying the move was not &quot;tit for tat.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;We&#39;re not removing her from other committees. We just do not believe, when it comes to Foreign Affairs&#8230;She shouldn&#39;t serve there.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/Hkm5Xa4kSY">pic.twitter.com/Hkm5Xa4kSY</a></p>

<p>&#8220;For years, Democratic leadership has failed to hold Rep. Ilhan Omar accountable for her vile, hateful, and dangerous anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric,&#8221; the Republican Jewish Coalition said in a statement. &#8220;Today, Republicans, under Speaker Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s leadership, kept their promise to remove Rep. Omar from the prestigious and crucially important House Foreign Affairs Committee.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;RJC has long advocated for Rep. Omar&#8217;s removal from this critical committee,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;We are gratified that Rep. Omar will no longer be in a privileged position to influence legislation regarding US policy toward Israel and the Middle East.&#8221;</p>
