Florida GOP congressional candidate George Buck is in trouble with GOP leadership after suggesting Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar should “hang.”Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., said Buck should immediately apologize for the fundraising email targeting Omar, a Somali-born Democrat and one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress. Fox News has confirmed GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy has removed Buck from the Young Guns program, a special recruitment program for promising Republican candidates. A source familiar with the matter says National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Emmer agrees with the decision. Buck was the GOP nominee for Florida’s 13th congressional district in 2018 but lost out to Crist, the former Florida governor. Twitter suspended the accounts of Danielle Stella, a GOP candidate hoping to challenge Omar for Congress after she posted last month about killing the congresswoman.
