Bill > HRes76

This Resolution formally removes Representative Ilhan Omar from the House of Representatives' Committee on Foreign Affairs, citing her past statements as reasons for this action. The resolution outlines several instances where Representative Omar's remarks were deemed controversial, including accusations of using anti-Semitic tropes when discussing financial influence in politics, trivializing the September 11th terrorist attacks, referring to Israel as an "apartheid state," and equating the United States and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban. The resolution emphasizes that members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, which deals with sensitive international and national security matters, should uphold a high standard of conduct to reflect creditably on the House, as required by House rules. It also notes that any member has the right to appeal such a decision to the Speaker of the House through the Committee on Ethics.
