Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was booted off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in a move that Democrats see as payback but Republicans say was over past controversial comments. <\/p>\n<p>The House voted along party lines 218-211 to remove Omar from the committee. <\/p>\n<p>Omar said that the move to oust her was an attack on Muslim Americans, citing the birther movement against Barack Obama, fueled in part by Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a Muslim. I am an immigrant. And interestingly from Africa,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>She added, &#8220;I am an American. An American who was sent here by her constituents to represent them in Congress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Omar sparked a furor and criticism from fellow Democrats in 2019 when she tweeted, in reference to Jewish organizations advocating for support of Israel, &#8220;It&#8217;s all about the Benjamins, baby.&#8221; The Democratic leadership condemned the remarks, and she later apologized.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans, though, said that Omar has a history of anti-semitic comments as she has criticized the government of Israel. <\/p>\n<h2>Must Read Stories<\/h2>\n<h3>Ritchie &#038; Bruckheimer Set Big Cast For Henry Cavill Pic \u2018Ministry\u2019; Shoot Date Set<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Alan-Ritchson-Henry-Golding-Alex-Pettyfer-Cary-Elwes-Hero-Fiennes-Tiffin-Babs-Olusanmokun-Til-Schweiger-Henrique-Zaga.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Aaron Sorkin&#8217;s \u2018Camelot\u2019 Gets First-Look Photo &#038; Video; Cast Announced<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/camelot-grab.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>Annette Bening Sets Rare TV Role Starring In Peacock Limited Series \u2018Apples Never Fall\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/peacock.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h3>BBC Studios Boss On &#8220;Excellent&#8221; \u2018Doctor Who\u2019 Deal, M&#038;A &#038; Int&#8217;l Growth<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tom-Fussell-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Read More About:<\/h2>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/02\/ilhan-omar-house-foreign-affairs-committee-1235247898\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
