House of Representatives Passes Resolution Condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar and Removing Her from Foreign Affairs Committee

House of Representatives voted 218 to 211 to pass a resolution condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for her past antisemitic comments and removing her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. All 211 Democrats unified behind Omar, who gave an emotional and defiant floor speech before the vote. The resolution was a victory for McCarthy and the Republicans, and its effects on Omar's standing in the House remain to be seen.
