Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding that Congress censure a colleague over offensive remarks. This is a real demand happening right now, and reporters write about her demands without peppering their prose with incredulous exclamation marks.
House progressives, in fact, are reportedly planning to introduce a resolution that would strip Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of committee assignments over her stupid and bigoted joke about Omar.
“I have had a conversation with the speaker, and I’m very confident that she will take decisive action next week,” Omar had the temerity to tell CNN’s Jake Tapper on Dec. 5. The same congresswoman, who claimed criticism about her smear that Jews were brainwashing the world was “all about the Benjamins,” says it’s “important for us to say this kind of language, this kind of hate cannot be condoned by the House of Representatives, and we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condemn this, that we are going to do that.”
First of all, Democrats have already created a new norm, stripping Reps. Paul Gosar and the Rothschild-laser-curious Marjorie Taylor Greene of committee seats. They probably deserved this. And if Republicans have any spine, they will, perhaps as early as 2022, begin throwing Jew-baiting progressives and conspiracy theorists such as Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib off their perches, as well. Democrats struggle to comprehend that they won’t be in perpetual power.
“Inaction is to be complicit in Islamaphobia,” adds Rep. Ayanna Pressley, herself a font of ugly racial-identity-obsessed notions. If so, is the House of Representatives complicit in anti-Semitism when it fails to ensure a member who tells us she gets a “calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust’s aftermath? Are Democrats complicit when they fail to condemn a colleague who says the people “behind the curtain” who want to stop a “free Palestine” are the “same people” who exploit “regular Americans” for “their profit”? Jews, after all, are the most targeted religious group in hate crimes, and it’s not even a close contest.
You may recall a few years back when the Democratic Party-backed out of censuring Omar for her numerous repulsive comments because of “fierce backlash” from the Congressional Black Caucus (a group whose members have held strategy sessions and meetings with Louis Farrakhan, because the normalization of certain kinds of hatreds is nothing new on the left). Censures and resolutions are almost always useless exercises in political theater. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi showed a special kind of creativity when she decided to reprimand Omar with a watered-down, platitudinous “anti-hate” resolution, which mentions Alfred Dreyfus, Leo Frank, Henry Ford, and “anti-Muslim bigotry,” but not Omar.
Parties are reluctant to censure their own members, no matter how odious the words, as that sort of thing telegraphs weakness and upsets the base — and the opposition likes to exaggerate the influence of backbenchers. Take the Washington Post’s partisan pseudo journalist Greg Sargent, who absurdly argues that Boebert et al portend emerging Republican attitudes. Certainly, the faction is not irrelevant, but it’s wishful thinking to say that they will “continue gaining adherents and intensity.” Not a single one of these Republicans is driving any serious policy initiatives. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy certainly isn’t posing with Greene and Boebert on the cover of Rolling Stone in their “Women Shaping the Future” issue.
The Squad, who are surely “gaining adherents and intensity” as moderate Democrats shed seats due to the party’s progressive turn, already have outsized power. They can stop bills right now. A few months ago, they nearly sunk funding for Israel’s defensive Iron Dome system, perhaps the only spending that Squad members passionately oppose. (Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in tears because she had abstained from cutting off spending on a system that saves thousands of lives.) The Biden administration already uses Ocasio-Cortez’s branding for its climate change agenda, and virtually every Democrat defends the administration’s every move. These are consequential politicians treated with reverence by the press.
That said, the cynical effort to focus on the most absurd members of the opposition party is nothing new — especially as a means of deflecting attention away from your own problems. But when your champion is one of the most repugnant voices in Washington, the effort is transparently preposterous.

Omar is a HATER of the 1st degree. Someone must tell this fool, she works for the American tax payers. Such a greedy, awful person. Nothing good ever comes out of Omar’s big nasty mouth.
The whole squad plus a few others need to be expelled. They are not true Americans…but part of the larger group that wants to throw out our Constitution and Freedom.
I am so sick of these flaming left-wing zealots, who are fast to point a finger and make ‘demands’ over anything they disagree with!!! They need to read “Matthew 7:5 – NASB – 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the [a]speck out of your brother’s eye!” ????
IMHO: We would be having a lot less of this BS, Bickering, Hate, and Discontent, if the lazy American conservatives would wake up and actually VET those dimwitted candidates who run for Congress. The majority of them couldn’t pass a serious background check, if one was even required as it should be. It is our fault that these people get into Congress in the first place because the Progressives are more active and pushy than we are. Just because someone says they are not a Communist or that they are a Republican does not mean that they are what they say they are. Check out what they have DONE not what they blabber about. RINOs are basically Communists or democrats, and we should not forget, nor ignore it! CHECK THEM OUT BEFORE YOU VOTE!!!
She needs to be expelled from congress and kicked out of the USA
If ilhan omar doesn’t like what she sees re: our country, our constitutional republic then she can head over to Qatar or the likes and live the life of the peasant there. ilhan omar is not our friend. She never has been, most likely never will be. She’s all about herself and her medieval roots.
IMHO
MAGA2024! TRUMP2024!
FJB! LET’S GO BRANDON!
The democrats will be in perpetual power if we do not get the elections secured – all the cheating that was done last year should have been stopped before the elections- here in Madison,Wisconsin the Democrat Party was registering people & allowing them to vote before the end of October when it was not legal. Trump & the republicans were in control on the national level & the republicans and were in control in Wisconsin! NOTHING was done to stop this.
There are plenty of third world anti-American zealots. There always have been. They both hate and envy America. But now some of them are here and sitting in Congress. They have their foot in the door. Before that door opens wider, we must convince our fellow Americans of the peril that we face.
Omar is a typical terrorist. She and Obama should get along quite well as they both want the Muslims to rule the world. This woman doesn’t deserve to be in the USA. She should be dissolved from the Congress and the government in large. Send her back to wherever she came. Do us a favor. Shumer is a complete jerk and a lousy Jew to let this devil’s wife get away with anything.
Omar, you have to face God someday. I wish you luck (all bad).
Omar MUST be given sanctions by the House of Reps. She comes to this country they say by marrying her brother (!!) and brings her old world hate with her. Who the hell does she think she is?
In her own nation she’d be shoveling s–t and being raped continuously. What an ingrate.
As a Jew, Senator Schumer should be ashamed of himself for tolerating this bigotry and hate.
This author is wrong. The Communist Party, once known as democrats, fully intend to be permanently in power. They have election Theft down to an art.
Short of blocking their crimes, they win.
If you want to get people to truly understand what’s really happening in American, right now, we have to start identifying “Progressives” with their true description and goal, “Destructives”.The Destructives aren’t a political group attempting to gain equality for Americans, their sole interest is the ‘Destruction’ of America; or more to the point, ‘Americans’, regardless of their race or ethnicity.In fact, because race was becoming a none issue in America, some of the political groups that backed the Destructives began losing their base so, they developed a new branding to regenerate racial bias, their re-hate and divide programs like CRT. These Destructives aren’t builders they are dividers. Their cause is to create hate toward anything American and to pervert Americans into believing their narrative; with no regard for anyone or anything, other than their own thirst for power and personal wealth.Elitist support this mentality, because they want to control wealth in America and for that reason they drank from the Destructives Kool-aid freely in an all out effort to kill American wealth outside their control. As far as the elitist are concerned if you didn’t graduate from an exeptable institution, with their brand of education you shouldn’t have wealth or position. So, the elitists back the left, so they control the American dream and dowel it out among there own.These Destructives have to be identified for the American heaters they are, because if they weren’t American heaters why would they be backing riots, not protests, and crime by releasing known criminals back into our city streets, trying to cram illegal immigrants into our population, attempting to implement resident voting instead of Americans voting in American elections and the known corruption of the American educational system to instill their hate narratives into young minds. They are the “The new Destructive Party”! They pray on ignorance and reward stupidity solely to destroy Americans. If Republican’s are to lead, the truth has be identified above all the flash and bang made by the Destructive Party, what’s left of the DNC, and it has to be done before we reach the breaking point.
This traitor is full of offensive remarks. Why is a Muslim in our Congress
Being a conservative Coloradan I support Representative Boebert.As far as I’m concerned she doesn’t need to Apologize to Ilan Omar who doesn’t value her American Citizenship.
Another turd….
Omar is an enemy of “all things American”.
…. We know it.
…. She knows it.
Too many of America’s enemies in DC.
Twisted little troll, go back to the rock you climbed out from under.
I could not read EVERY comment so this might be a repeat of someone else. QUESTION: Why has so called Rep. Ilhan Omar not been charged with FRAUD? Is there not a Law against falsifying a Marriage to gain U.S Citizenship? What in the world has happen to the common sense?
Why hasn’t Omar herself been investigated and/or censured for her American-hating remarks and actions? Why is she still on the Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committees, where she has access to American secrets??? How much more can she HATE AMERICA????? HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE NOW for her racist and hateful remarks and actions!!!!
I doubt Omar even knows the meaning of unmitigated gall. She’s a haughty Democratic bitch who sees herself to be above all laws.
How is she not in jail? Misuse & personal use of campaign funds, immigration fraud, and more and yet NOT ONE investigation, charge, or public denouement of her! Just more proof the DNC cares nothing about the US, Americans, truth or integrity!
How can we rid the House of this hate filled person? She hates Jews (who mostly vote Democrat, go figure) and she hates this country and all of the white people who pay most of the country’s bills. She is one of the most openly racist people in Congress (that is a big accomplishment) yet she constantly gets a pass on every truly hateful comment. Why? How is she valuable to this country? What has she done to give back anything for the wealth and privilege she now enjoys here in this terrible, racist Islamophobic country that saved her sorry butt from a refugee camp?
Anti-American Ilhan Omar can never hope to be half the woman Representative Lauren Boebert is. So sorry Ilhan got her feelings hurt. NOT. In true style the socialist/communists will seek to destroy Rep. Boebert. But, that’s part of uniting America just like Joe is doing.
This Omar witch should become a hooker for the Taliban and take the squad with her and open a BROTHEL// Even the Taliban might run from these ugly group of hated females/ on Omar is she still married to her brother or was that her father/////////
Omar’s complaints make me suspect she does not have even a little humility. It is hard to have value as a representative and refuse to listen to the other side of any issue.
Isn’t it amazing every Republican is attacked. The corrupt Democrats can go to a moral high ground. They are never held accountable for their behavior. Where are the Weak Republican? It time for election integrity in very state. Decertification of the 2020 election needs to happen. No More Election Fraud!!! Monsters will not be elected!
The left eats, drinks, and sleeps hatred. It is their lifeblood. To their shame, they love what God hates and hate what God loves. They turn everything upside down. The Holy Spirit said through Isaiah the prophet that woe would occur to those who call good evil and evil good. I do not believe that God will tolerate the total depravity of the Democratic Party for very much longer.
Time will come when the left, marxist, communist , so called democrats will be the minority. Yes . . . there are a couple of true democrats in Congress, but the majority of dems won’t say anything against the squad . . . and by the way, who gave them this nickname? The hatred that they spew is never ending. Now Boebert has to cowar to these radical anti American politicians? Who voted for these woman in the first place? Done venting . . .God bless America .
How much longer is this country going to last? Not very long with big mouthed, stupid, bigoted islamist terrorists serving, uncensured in our congress! Islamists will do anything to overcome Western civilization and destroy Christianity and Judaism! This woman has proudly repeated she “believes in Islam and submits to Sharia Law”. In John D. Guandolo’s book, Islam’s Deception – The Truth About Sharia, states, “We do not need to let naïveté or arrogance drive us to believe we will somehow uncover a ‘different version’ of Islam’ that has never existed . . . give credence to those who tell us ‘moderate muslims’ exist”. He states further, “Muslims submit to Islam. Submitting to Islam means submitting to Allah’s Law-sharia. There is no such thing as a “version” of sharia that does not require jihad until the entire planet is under Islamic Law (sharia).”Omar, and her foul-mouthed cohort Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, are at the forefront of members of our own government (AOC, Pelosi, even the idiotic pretender in the White House) who are working tirelessly to destroy the United States, in any way available to them. These two continually vituperate diatribes about how terrible the United States and Israel are, without censure or reprimand.
According to Abdur Rahman I. Dot, “The Shari’ah was not revealed for limited application for a specific age. It will suit every age and time. It will remain valid and shall continue to be, till the end of the life on earth.” These two scumbags, and others like them, must be removed from our government, and be deported from this country back to the shit hole they crawled out of as UNDESIRABLE INDIVIDUALS as soon as possible.
Can’t believe this woman is even in congress little on making complaints against another congress woman after her antisemite remarks against Israel and all the other anti-American remarks she has made and want to install Sharaea Law and defunding the police. She is a hypocrite and need to be shipped back to her country of origin because she is as anti-American as they come.
Well, at least, Omar gives a clear common stereotype of the type of Democraps that haunt the Congdress. I think she pretty well defines the Democrap Party as to its political and patriotic stand on issues and public decency and fair/and reasonable laws. And in upcoming elections, I think the DemocRat Party is about to get the message. Also, Biden is widin’ the sidin’ of many Democraps that now realize how inept he is as a leader and how Commuisticly liberal he is guiding this Nation.
Voters of the voting area in which Omar represents should be ashamed of themselves. She is BAD for the Nation and a Constitutional Democracy. To use a common old expression, “She is full of beans!”
This POS-will be arrested and tried for immigration fraud in 2023…..
I believe she is another example of the “wa-wa” epidemic that has clearly infiltrated this beautiful country. The constant crying, complaining and criticism that comes out of people like her is truly sickening and quite immature. Please Omar, do us a favor and leave willingly, we don’t want you or any of your kind here…it brings down the morale!!
This POS is a disgrace to American! Lauren Boebert is from my home state. We need more people like Lauren in congress! The Democrats here in the once great of Colorado are looking to destroy her.
This POS shouldn’t even be in this country let alon in Congress
Omar got her US “citizenship” illegally. She was “married” to her own brother. After a brief scuffle, everyone just dropped this FACT. We know the crooked DOJ and FBI will not investigate. Will the GOP grow some (equipment) and get rid of this trash if they take over in January 2023?
your articles are always so blind to the facts that these Liberals, hateful beings ARE IN CONTROL. Stop being so naive to think that any Republican will stand up to them. The fact that Nancy Pelosi is afraid of the Squad should be proof. We had Pres. Trump and a Republican majority and dropped the ball crossing the aisle and thought that no one would actually support the Green Deal. But here we are not only with the Green Deal but with a Communistic Government in the making and NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM. The FBI, Police, Public Defenders, Judges, Senator, Congressmen, every form of government is controlled by a Socialistic/Communistic member. There are no Democrats or Republicans running this USA. Open your eyes and see.
This awful women (Omar) could not be more offensive, if she tried. She hates the American people, and forgets the tax payers of this great country pay her salary. What a user she is. Omar should go back to where she came from, they might need her. The AMERICAN PEOPLE do not need Ilhan Omar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What floats on swamp water?
They are nothing but hypocrites. How many times have they said inflamatory remarks about the Jews and not once were they censored. That’s because Pelosi and her cronies are afraid of be called islamaphobes.
I thought the US govt was overthrown on Jan 6. All I see is the same old
socialism we are known for. What has this “new government” done differently ?
This towelhead, Omar, has long been recognized as an elected terrorist. On to a more
relevant point, NYC local govt has voted to allow illegals to vote in elections. The next
move to get more dem votes will be to allow votes mailed in from central american
nations to be counted. In other words, mexicans don’t have to cross the border to vote.
All they have to do is find a stamp and send their votes in to the US from Mexico City.
Coming to a local precinct near you.
The tasteless joke is unfortunate ! However-, this BIGOTED ANTI SEMITIC politician has said WORSE things to others ! NOW , she knows how awful others feel when she verbalized her many frequent hurtful ANTISEMITIC comments to others !!!!!!!!!!!! ANTISEMITISM DOES NOT BELONG IN CONGRESS ! And NEITHER DOES SHE AND HER BIASED ATTITUDE !!!!!!!!!
Take your medicine Omar…
I just read that NYC will now allow illegal aliens to vote. I am still reeling from that one. I guess California’s next? That will trump Ilhan Omar’s absurdity for sure.
What can you say about an individual that’s not even civilized? She and ones like her don’t belong
Surprising that madam Hit-lery does not wear a wash rag
around her noggin. She is basically of the same ilk.
Trump needed to work at having her removed. She is NOT even a damn citizen.
Sadly, I live in a part of Indiana which mandates that andre carson is my Congressional Representative. I feel nauseous even just typing that. andre carson is a mooslim. I recently emailed him about a situation involving Israel, our very DEAR friends, and the people that God, in the Book of Genesis said, He would bless those who bless her, (Israel), and curse those who curse her. andre carson responded that he was in solidarity with his brothers and sisters, the palestinians. So, he openly endorses and sides with terrorists. omar is no different in that, she is a mooslim, and therefore unfit to serve in ANY place in U.S. government. mooslims are completely unfit to serve and work in out form of government. Period.
It is interesting to note that although demon-crats hate Christians and insist on the mythical, “separation of church and state”, in regards to anything to do with the Lord, Jesus Christ, they revised the rules of the U.S. House so that these filthy mooslims could wear their head coverings in chambers. Their hypocrisy in breathtaking.
