House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's pledge to block Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and "Squad" member Ilhan Omar from committees next Congress drew a strong response from the lawmakers. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat who has been accused of making antisemitic statements, claimed that McCarthy's pledge was just another example of her being targeted by Republicans.
"From the moment I was elected, the Republican Party has made it their mission to use fear, xenophobia, Islamophobia and racism to target me on the House floor and through millions of dollars of campaign ads," said Omar. "McCarthy’s effort to repeatedly single me out for scorn and hatred

I no longer fear being assaulted with communist verbiage. It has lost its power. Everything is racist. Everything is homophobic (if such a thing even exists). I know what I am. I know what I believe. The only thing that is left is for them to prove it, which they cannot.
When we live in a society where the accusation is the proof of fact, then we no longer live in a free or just society. We are one rung from a state of nature - civil war where those who abuse us will discover quite quickly that the power to terminate trumps their feelings.

Say it one more time - If corrupt, stealth communist death democrat, taker of FTX crypto funds, is elected Speaker of the House, I am done with the republican party. McCarthy is a liar and will do nothing in the end. Every time he opens his pie hole you know what spews forth is a torrent.
So arrogant that McCarthy is acting like he is already Speaker of the House. Such a corrupt organized crime oligarchy we are now ruled by and the republicans in Congress are made members.
Where to turn and what to do is the big question.

In 1994, after the Republicans made a sweep of the House elections, I recall they held out an olive branch to democrats to allow them to share committee leadership positions.
We should have just kicked them in the teeth. They are snakes. Metaphorically, we need to crush their heads. No more playing nice. We need to crush them. We need to politically destroy them. And if that does not work, then maybe we don't need to be using metaphors.

This coming January, we may see physical violence in our Congress, similar to the third world govern Government fights we see on TV. These democrat children will probably resort to outlandish stunts claiming mysoginy, racism, islamophobia, etc. to plead their case. If so, the Sgt at Arms should be directed to expel them from the house!

I'll believe it when I see it. Let's see what McCarthy does when he gets slammed by the usual suspects in the MSM, Will he have the coglioni to stick to his decision or "take the high road" and back off. If he does that, he'll feel the wrath of MTG and never get the votes to be Speaker. The word is that he took money from Bankman-Fried to use against Republicans he didn't like in the election.

#17, I believe they thought they were doing the "right thing" back then, plus they had not lead in such a long time, I believe they thought it was the right thing to do, back then.
Today, Nancy Pelosi, established a new precedent with her J6 committee, which enables SOTH-elect McCarthy to say what he wants and appoint who he wants on whatever committee(s) he wants.
Schiff is a major leaker, Swalwell looks to be very compromised, and outside of hearing comments like Omar stated in this article, she does not seem to offer much.
It also neutralizes them for campaign cash, or any use within the Intel community if they're not on the committee.
Certainly hope Schiff is investigated for how he acted and conducted the two impeachment schemes, particularly how Republicans were regularly not allowed access to their private meetings. Expose the process and how they "obtained" their information.

Here's an idea Ilhan: Convince your other squad members, Tlaib, Sandy from the Hood, etc, to go on the floor of the House and repeat the exact words you have said there about Jews, over and over and over. Maybe then you won't feel so all alone targeted and singled out.

25,
I think you are right on that but the fact remains... conservatives who are principled are playing on an uneven field with liberals who are not. Liberals have such a paucity of moral conviction about them... they will lie, cheat and steal to get what they want and, frankly, we need to look to the greater good and play their game better than they do.
First step... McCarthy puts them as far down the legislative food chain as is humanly possible.

Demon-Rats don't have enough working brain cells to comprehend that when they change precedence (like Nasty Nancy Pelosi did in taking Republicans off of committees), they are setting precedence that will then be used against them when the pendulum of power swings back and the Republicans are in charge again!!!!
They need to be calling out Nasty Nancy for doing this, not for the Republicans for just playing by the rules that the Demon-Rats established!!!!

Of course, since both of them voted against removing Rep. Taylor Greene and Rep. Bobert from House Committees, then they do have a poin... oops, you tell me that both of them voted TO remove them from Committees?

At least Trump is smart enough to not threaten to leave the Republican Party twice every week. If he wanted to go, he'd be gone. I don't know McCarthy from Adam but his record as Speaker if he becomes Speaker will speak loudly enough starting in January. For the record, I think it a sign of weakness to for a would-be Speaker to broadcast his/her intentions prior to taking the gavel. It's like the overwhelming need too stick a wet finger in the air to gauge public reaction before sticking your neck out and only getting firmly behind things that are popular in the polls, the hallmark of a populist not a conservative Republican. Both Tip and Newt, from opposite ends of the political spectrum during their tenures, were consistent enough as members of Congress over time, such that it wasn't necessary to advertise their intentions. Tip was consistently liberal but not a communist. Newt was the post-Reagan voice of conservatism. Since the mid-terms, this site has become rife with Republican haters, and conservative bashing, which excluding Trump, is tolerated, even as the term "conservative-populist" has become more common and popular. I've never met a conservative-populist, as populists tend to follow the windsock of popular opinion, heavily influenced by the media. There are current Republican members of Congress that I'd much rather see take the gavel, based on their records as members. Paul Ryan appeared to me to be to the left of Sam Rayburn, an old school Classical Liberal, which isn't especially liberal at all and dang sure isn't progressive. I hope to live long enough to see both houses of Congress and the Executive Branch return to conservative control. Only then, I believe, will America be made great again.

No, Ilhan, he's just a dyed-in-the-wool, "Incestophobe." We grow them that way in the USA.

OP is right. Maybe if Omar learned to keep her trap shut, she would not be called out for her racist and stupid statements. She still hasn't learned that the public has the right to call her out on her nonsense. Doesn't matter if she doesn't like it. Tough toenails.
