Washington, D.C. – Assertion from MoveOn Government Director Rahna Epting on the improper and Islamophobic removing of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from her Home International Affairs Committee project as a part of Kevin McCarthy’s corrupt cut price with MAGA:
“Speaker McCarthy and Home Republicans’ removing of Congresswoman Omar from the International Affairs Committee is improper, unwarranted, and Islamophobic. Republicans are clearly extra excited about political revenge than in governing.
“It’s clear GOP management focused Congresswoman Omar due to her id and her background, and so they ignored her file of service advancing a simply international coverage, human rights, and gender fairness throughout the globe, which she burnished throughout her earlier two-plus years of service on this committee.
“In the present day’s vote demonstrates how weak Speaker McCarthy is, as he has as soon as once more caved to the MAGA components of his caucus.
“This isn’t management, it’s revenge. Whereas Kevin McCarthy and Home Republicans keep centered on launching political assaults and advancing their MAGA agenda, we all know that Congresswoman Omar will proceed to place individuals over politics and assist her constituents in Minneapolis-St. Paul and all through Minnesota.”
