Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was removed from all committees so Omar can deal with it

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spoke with reporters at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday about the vote to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Omar is the only African-born person on the subcommittee for African relations. Republicans are attacking her for comments she made in early 2019 when she first came to Congress. Omar has since apologized and met with Jewish leaders to better understand why her comments were offensive. The House voted on a condemnation of Omar's comments.

One of them was in 2012 when she condemned Israel for the attacks on the West Bank. Another came in 2018 when she said that drawing attention to the actions by the government isn't about hating the people who live there. But it was the 2019 statements in which she said that Jewish power was all about the money that drew criticism from her own party.

"No, no, no, there's no hypocrisy," Greene told Raw Story. "They removed me from all committees. We just voted to remove her from one committee and she can serve on any of the other ones. That's not hypocritical. That's a big difference."

No MTG you were removed because you advocated insurrection against the country. You should've been kicked out of Congress for that.

And she has the temerity to wear a Hijab.

That’s it.

One thing that sets her apart from Empty Greene is their educations. While both have Bachelors degrees, Empty Greene has hers in Business Administration.

Omar’s majors were Political Science and International Studies.

Who would you rather have in Congress?
