The Republican-led House Thursday voted along party lines to remove Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over previous comments she made about Israel that members of both parties viewed as antisemitic.

Omar said on the House floor Thursday that the vote to remove her is about more than silencing her voice. “This debate today is about who gets to be an American,” she said. “I am an American. An American who was sent here by her constituents to represent them in Congress.”

“Is anyone surprised that I am being targeted? Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy?” she said on the House floor prior to the vote.
