House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently confirmed his campaign pledge to remove Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from their respective committees. But Omar isn’t being targeted for trying to remove Trump. She continued to spew bile — including antisemitic hate — once she arrived in Washington. McCarthy knows that nothing could make the MAGA wing of the GOP happier than removing Omar from her committee. Because Foreign Affairs is not a select committee, however, House rules require a majority of House members to vote to remove Omar.
