House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Incensed over her comparing the United States and Israel to terrorist groups Hamas and the Taliban.
But McCarthy isn’t the first person to urge Omar’s removal. On May 20, 2019, Joe Diamond kicked off an effort to remove her from the sensitive position with a Times Square rally and the rolling out of a billboard calling for Pelosi to strip Omar of the committee assignment. Diamond was motivated by what he and his followers then saw as anti-American and anti-Semitic statements.
In this interview Diamond welcomes the renewed pressure on Omar.
