House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should kick Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) off of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“I think Nancy Pelosi should remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs committee,” McCarthy said during an interview with Fox News.
He claimed Omar is “an individual that has not once, but on numerous occasions been antisemitic.”
McCarthy told the outlet, “I will promise you this: If we are fortunate enough to have the majority, Omar would not be serving on Foreign Affairs or anybody that has an anti-semitic, anti-American view.”
He continued, “That is not productive and that is not right.”

“We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” Omar said. Axios noted she was referencing International Criminal Court investigations.
