The House passed a resolution to remove progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from her position on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs in a party-line vote on Wednesday.

Top Republicans had vowed to remove her from the panel, citing her inflammatory remarks made in 2019 about Israel, with the Minnesota Democrat having suggested politicians who support the Jewish state are motivated by campaign dollars — remarks that were slammed as antisemitic by members on both sides of the aisle.

The House voted 218-211, with one Republican, Rep. David Joyce, R- Ohio, a member of the Ethics Committee, voting “present.”

Ahead of the vote, Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., said Democrats set a “dangerous precedent” in removing two Republicans from their committee assignments last session of Congress but argued the Thursday vote on Omar was not comparable because the GOP resolution was narrowly tailored and allows her to remain on other panels.

“Today’s resolution as it relates to Rep. Omar details six statements she made as a sitting member of Congress that, under the totality of the circumstances, disqualify her from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs,” he said on the floor.

“The Committee on Foreign Affairs is a prestigious committee viewed by nations around the world, both allies and adversaries, as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security,” he added. “All members, both Republican and Democrats alike, who seek to serve on Foreign Affairs should be held to the highest standard of conduct due to the international sensitivity and national security concerns under the jurisdiction of this committee.”

Top Democrats slammed the move as “political retribution” in the wake of their 2021 decision to remove Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., from their committee assignments after a string of controversies.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., blasted the resolution, noting a handful of Republicans have made similar comments during a press conference ahead of the vote on Thursday. He brought up how the House previously voted on a broad resolution condemning antisemitism shortly after Omar’s remarks four years ago.

“Rep. Omar certainly has made mistakes. She has used antisemitic tropes that were clearly and unequivocally condemned by House Democrats when it took place four years ago. But what’s going to take place on the floor today is not a public policy debate. It’s not about accountability. It’s about political revenge,” he said while surrounded by signs showing past inflammatory remarks of GOP members.

“It’s a double, triple, quadruple, and beyond standard when you think about all of the members. These are just three who have engaged in highly offensive and, at times, antisemitic behavior, rhetoric, hate, including making reference, the gentlewoman from Georgia, to Hitler and Nazis and drawing an incredibly dangerous and false equivalence between Hitler, Nazis, and President Joe Biden,” he added.

The decision to bring the measure to the floor comes after days of uncertainty over whether it had enough GOP support to pass, with multiple members voicing reservations about the move.

Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., opted to change from a “no” to a “yes” after language was added to provide the removed member with the “right to bring a case before the Committee on Ethics as grounds for an appeal to the Speaker of the House for reconsideration of any committee removal decision.” It is unclear how the appeal would work since the House, not the speaker, approves standing committee positions. Reps. Ken Buck, R- Colo., and Nancy Mace, R-S.C., the other two public holdouts, also changed their votes in the hours before it came to the floor.

McCarthy previously removed Reps. Adam Schiff, D- Calif., and Eric Swalwell, D- Calif., unilaterally from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, citing Schiff’s handling of the investigations into former President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and Swalwell’s relationship with an alleged Chinese spy. Schiff and Swalwell have repeatedly insisted they did nothing wrong.

While McCarthy has the ability to remove members from a select committee, taking a member off of a standing committee requires a full House vote.
