Squad members Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) raged on the U.S. House floor Thursday after Republicans removed openly antisemitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Tlaib accused the GOP of wrongfully targeting her, and even began to cry as she shouted until her time was up and her mic was cut off.

“You are showing who you all are,” she screamed. “I will not be silent. To congresswoman Omar, I am so sorry that our country is failing you today through this chamber. You belong on that committee.”

Other Squad members also defended fellow radical Omar while predictably accusing their opponents of sexism, racism, and Islamophobia, blah blah blah.

“There is nothing consistent about the Republican Party’s continued attack except for racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body,” AOC ranted. “I had a member of the Republican Caucus threaten my life and you all, and the Republican Caucus rewarded him with one of the most prestigious committee assignments in this Congress.”

Fact check: no Republican Congressman threatened AOC’s life.

Omar herself said that the debate about ousting her centers on “who gets to be an American, what opinions do we have to have to be counted as Americans. There is this idea that you are suspect if you are an immigrant, or if you are from certain parts of the world, or a certain skin tone, or a Muslim.”

Fact check: Omar was not removed from the Committee because of her skin color, genitalia, Muslim faith. or the “certain part of the world” she came from. She is simply playing the victim card. In a floor speech prior to the vote on whether to oust Omar, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said that ousting the congresswoman, who has slammed Israel for its purported hold over Congress, is not “about vengeance or retribution. It is about accountability.”

“No one who peddles in antisemitic activity, behavior, or language should have any right to serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which has an incredibly important role to play in partnering with our strongest ally, the state of Israel,” Lawler added.
