Lee Zeldin calls for Ilhan Omar’s removal from committee for anti-Semitic remarks: 100% chance this will continue
The House GOP Israel Caucus co-chairman reacts to Ilhan Omar’s latest backtrack from comments made criticizing Israel and Jews
The House GOP Israel Caucus Co-Chairman Lee Zeldin said Thursday on "America's Newsroom" that he believes Ilhan Omar will continue to make anti-Semitic comments and should be removed from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
LEE ZELDIN: I don’t believe that she really even understands what the problem is with what she said. She tries to equivocate anti-Semitism with all sorts of other things—she references xenophobia, Islamophobia, and more. So I actually think there’s a 100 percent chance that this is going to continue and that she should be removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee—there should be actual consequences.
