The fallout from the vote to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee includes one conservative congressman who was overheard calling it, "the stupidest vote in the world." "It took 15 ballots to get him elected,” Dean Obeidallah tells The ReidOut of Kevin McCarthy vs. Rep. Omar. “It took one to demonize and target a Black Muslim woman." - The ReidOut - MSNBC - Aired on 02/03/2023.

1. This is so wrong

They haven't tried to get rid of other prominent Dems yet, like AOC or Jamie Raskin. She was obviously targeted as a black Muslim woman, along with troublesome Schiff and Swallwell.

Its as wrong as the little gun pins some are wearing now. They need a RACIST pin to wear beside those.

2. They're looking for excuses, this was just one of them, though certainly the most egregious

They're definitely targeting our best and brightest - and most outspoken - like Adam Schiff and Eric Eric Swalwell - and have already cast out those who held them to account for supporting the insurrection to overturn our democracy, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
