Alabamas Republican Party is urging the states congressional delegation to begin the process of expelling freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from Congress.
The state GOP supported a resolution calling for the congresswoman's ouster at its summer meeting in Auburn this past weekend, according to Al.com. The committee reportedly approved the resolution on a voice vote after it was introduced by state Rep. Tommy Hanes.
The resolution calls on Alabama's congressional delegation to "proceed with the expulsion process in accordance to Article 1, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution."
Omar, a Somali refugee who last year became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, has sparked criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over her comments about issues tied to U.S.-Israeli relations.
The resolution backed by Alabama Republicans condemns Omar for what it calls her "disturbing record of using anti-Semitic language that includes alleging Jewish money is used to buy American influence regarding its policy toward Israel."...........................

(1,278 posts)I'm all for it. But cede Madison (Huntsville) & Limestone Counties to TN and Lee County (Auburn-Opelika and Auburn University) to GA.
Mobile and Baldwin Counties to FL. Don't know what to do about Jefferson (B'ham), Shelby, and Tuscaloosa Counties (U of A, Mercedes)
The rest of the state, including the county where I grew up, well...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) hit back at the Alabama Republican Party on Tuesday after the organization formally urged Congress to remove her from office.
Sorry, @ALGOPHQ, but this is a representative democracy, Omar tweeted. I was elected with 78% of the vote by the people of Minnesotas 5th District, not the Alabama Republican Party.
She then made a dig at the Alabama GOPs decision in the 2018 midterms to back failed Senate candidate Roy Moore, who allegedly sexually assaulted several teen girls.
If you want to clean up politics, maybe dont nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate? she added.........................

(2,957 posts)They say Rep. Omar alleged that "...Jewish money is used to buy American influence regarding its policy toward Israel."
They should also criticize her for alleging that water is wet, Antarctica is cold and dry, and that Liberace was sort of gay.

(36,457 posts)They hate representative government. Oh sure they were okay with it when mostly white men were called all the shots, but once the uppity women, people of color, & gays started demanding & getting equality & equity in the system, well, that representative government shit has got to go.
They are misogynistic, racist, homophobic, hypocritical assholes of the highest order.
