Ilhan Omar, Eric Swalwell hit back at McCarthy over pledge to block them from House committees (Congress, accuse)

[uggabugga]

please let it happen.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's pledge to block Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and "Squad" member Ilhan Omar from committees next Congress drew a strong response from the lawmakers.

Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who has been accused of making antisemitic statements, claimed that McCarthy's pledge was just another example of her being targeted by Republicans.

"From the moment I was elected, the Republican Party has made it their mission to use fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism to target me on the House Floor and through millions of dollars of campaign ads," said Omar. "McCarthy’s effort to repeatedly single me out for scorn and hatred—including threatening to strip me from my committee—does nothing to address the issues our constituents deal with. It does nothing to address inflation, healthcare, or solve the climate crisis."

Swalwell was sleeping with a Chinese spy. Omar is an anti-semite and Schift lied. None belong. Period.

Stop confusing us with FACTS, we all know Repubs are just evil

Why are we bothering with what Omar and Swalwell said? They lost, they're now in the minority. They no longer matter.

Republicans have a lot more to pay attention to, than a couple of disgruntled has-beens.

Poor Omar. This is going to be fabulous to watch. Squad members in an uproar makes for great tv

of course democrats are going to fire back and make it all about hate.

Omar is an anti-semite and should never have been elected to congress. But hey democrats elected a KKK member so go figure. Adam schiff is about Adam schiff. And Sewel slept with a spy.

Could not agree more.

Swallowwell was too dumb to realize he was being used.

Omar is an ingrate who should have been left to die in the Somali refugee camp.

And Adam Schift4Brains should not be allowed to remain in office after he essentially lied for 4 years.
