House removes Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee in party-line vote | Washington Examiner

"The Committee on Foreign Affairs is a prestigious committee viewed by nations around the world, both allies and adversaries, as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security," he added. "All members, both Republican and Democrats alike, who seek to serve on Foreign Affairs should be held to the highest standard of conduct due to the international sensitivity and national security concerns under the jurisdiction of this committee."

So it only makes sense to remove an anti-Semite from the committee.  

A move that is long overdue.

"It's a double, triple, quadruple, and beyond standard when you think about all of the members. These are just three who have engaged in highly offensive and, at times, antisemitic behavior, rhetoric, hate, including making reference, the gentlewoman from Georgia, to Hitler and Nazis and drawing an incredibly dangerous and false equivalence between Hitler, Nazis, and President Joe Biden," he added.

The brazen hypocrisy of leftists.

However, Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., who introduced the resolution Thursday, and those who joined him must have short memories. For more than four years, several of his Democratic congressional colleagues, multiple members of the political party's friends in the media and hundreds of others in the Democratic intelligentsia made it a practice to compare President Donald Trump to Hitler, his followers to Nazis and his plans to the Holocaust.

The Illinois congressman had introduced another censure resolution against Greene in 2021 when she compared COVID-19 mask mandates to the Holocaust, but he dropped it when Greene apologized for the remark after visiting the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

On Thursday, Schneider was joined by four colleagues in sponsoring the resolution, including Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Ga. Williams was in Chattanooga Saturday as the featured speaker at the Hamilton County Democratic Party's Kefauver Dinner. But we're sure none of fellow Democrats asked her if her sponsorship of the resolution seemed hypocritical given what was heaped on Trump.

How widespread was it when Trump was in office? Here are just a few instances:

› In 2020, U.S. Rep. Harley Rouda, D-Calif., in a virtual chat with supporters, said he'd visited the National Museum in Berlin, where the displays noted that Hitler had come to power through an election and that he'd then begun criticizing minorities and the press. And now that's what Trump was doing, he said.

"I'm scared by it," he said. "I am scared that every single day we are taking one more step towards fascism."

› In 2019, U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., told an NAACP gathering that "Americans, particularly Black Americans, can't afford to make [the] same mistake about the harm that could be done by a man named Hitler or a man named Trump."

It was one of several comparisons to Trump and Nazis he made during the speech.

In 2019, in an interview with NBC News, U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., noted that he had previously brought up the rise of Hitler while discussing America's political climate.

"Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany," he then told NBC. "And he went about the business of discrediting institutions to the point that people bought into it. Nobody would have believed it now. But swastikas hung in churches throughout Germany. We had better be very careful."

› In 2019, U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Trump had talked about immigrants bringing in drugs and being responsible for crime.

He then said: "This is the same type of propaganda that we heard in the 1920s and World War I against Jews. 'Jews are Bolsheviks. Jews are thieves. Jews are violent' -- that was the propaganda. ... Now, we're hearing it against this generation's immigrants -- and it's just as false now."

In 2018 when asked about Trump proclaiming himself a "nationalist," U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., said, "It reminds me of the kinds of words that came from people like Hitler, who thought that in Germany he was a nationalist, and the kinds of people that this president seems to like, and those who are repressive dictators, those are the individuals that generally use that kind of phrase and those kinds of words."

› In 2016, U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., said the U.S. electorate should read up on how German people elected Hitler in the 1930s to gain a better understanding of how an educated society "can elect a demagogue."

Defensively, he added, "I'm not saying that Donald Trump is necessarily Hitler. I'm not saying that."

Such citations are legion.

Democrats can STFU and take their damn medicine! They created the rules under which their party members are being removed. Did they think McCarthy was just going to drop those rules now that Republicans control the House and let Democrats slide?

The Democrats don't like it when their rules are applied to them.  In reality, this has been fun watching how out of touch the Democrats are.

Cue certain members telling us that Omar never said those things and that she and the others of the squad are not amti Semitic and have just been misunderstood.

Always a good day when an anti American racist loses some power.

It's even better when they lose it by their own rules.

She was a bigot!
