President Trump Calls for Rep. Omar to Resign, Bucks ‘Lame’ Apology


Conservatives are not happy at all following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refusal to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for her anti-Semitic tweets. You remember Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) apology in January for controversial remarks – he was stripped of his committee assignments. Omar issued a Monday apology and still retains her position.

President Trump is calling on Omar to resign.

President Trump on Tuesday said to White House reporters of Omar: “I think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

While some have defended Rep. Omar’s right to criticize Israeli money in US politics, and others have called for her to be stripped of her committee assignment, many conservatives have noted a double-standard among Democrats, who just last month called for Rep. Steve King’s head after he asked in a New York Times interview when the phrases “White nationalist, white supremacist” and “western civilization” became offensive. King apologized and said he was misquoted, yet was still removed from his committee assignments by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
