This has been a long time coming and I’m glad Republicans had the votes to kick Omar off the committee.
Omar’s Palestinian counterpart Rashida Tlaib tried to make a scene on the House floor before the vote:

Wah wah wah. I don’t remember any wailing and tears for MTG when Democrats banished her from any and all committees. I have no sympathy they for them after what they did to her. Zero.
