(Fox) House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy slammed Ilhan Omar as “anti-Semitic” and “anti-American” on Tuesday and called on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to remove the Minnesota Democrat from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” McCarthy asserted that Omar had a history of making anti-Semitic comments, referencing a recent tweet where she appeared to equate America with the Taliban and Hamas.
“We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban,” Omar tweeted Monday. “I asked [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] where people are supposed to go for justice.”
Late last month, Omar accused Israel of committing “war crimes” following days of conflict between Israel and Hamas that saw thousands of missiles fired indiscriminately at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
