Conservatives are fuming after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over a Sunday night tweet widely interpreted as anti-Semitic, followed by a criticism of pro-Israel money in US politics. Omar issued a Monday apology, which many have compared to Rep. Steve King (R-IA) – who apologized in January over controversial remarks, yet was stripped of his committee assignments after Congressional Democrats demanded his removal.
President Trump on Tuesday said to White House reporters of Omar: “I think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”
Trump added that her apology was “lame.”
President Trump also spoke of Rep. Omar’s comments on Israel: “I think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.” Trump added that her comments are “deep seeded in her heart” and called her apology “lame.” — Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) February 12, 2019 While some have defended Rep. Omar’s right to criticize Israeli money in US politics, and others have called for her to be stripped of her committee assignment, many conservatives have noted a double-standard among Democrats, who just last month called for Rep. Steve King’s head after he asked in a New York Times interview when the phrases “White nationalist, white supremacist” and “western civilization” became offensive. King apologized and said he was misquoted, yet was still removed from his committee assignments by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Hating Jewish people and killing babies. What makes these people any different from the SS?
She showed her hand to soon, dope
AOC just became her best bud
Trump should hammer the living excrement out of this.
Omar, the spokesperson for the moderate Muslim.
He should pound, and pound, and pound some more.
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO DOING SO!
Just because House Republicans choose to act like sniveling dickless cowards doesn't mean the Democrats have to.
Give Steve King his committee assignments back.
Thank you President Trump!
He should pound, and pound, and pound some more.
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE TO DOING SO!
It might make her say what she really thinks ,LOL
Our local media is reporting lightly on Omar, but they are basically giving her a pass.
“Not so long ago”—freshman House Members were seen but not heard. They were supposed to learn the ropes before taking a more active role.
If the current House followed those rules, several freshman Members would not be in the trouble they are now in!!!!
However, Ilhan Omar—a muslim and a Somali tribal—might well NEVER make it as a House Member, and as a civilized American! In that case, she should return to Somalia!!!!
I’ve been on FR more than 20 years, and I believe that’s the first time I ever shouted in all caps.
Nothing.
The Democrat Party is the American Nazi Party.
Has the Florida Republican AG (?) been reinstated since he apologized and resigned for wearing Blackface when he was younger?
He resigned the very first day his Sin was exposed.
Giving Trump credit for saying what so many citizens feel, and sadly what so many Dems support and defend (and away from which so many elected GOP elites slither and cow.)
Without a parachute.
Has anyone asked her whose side she was on in Black Hawk Down?
The Left never truly apologizes or resigns. They are evil and have no honor.
