Third Republican Rushes In To Defend Far-Left Democrat Ilhan Omar

Rep. Ken Buck (R.CO) stood by far-left Rep. Ilhanomar (D.MN), late last week, against a push for her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her history of antisemitism.

Buck’s support for Omar put Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s desire to remove her from the Committee in danger of failing after two other Republicans have already signaled opposition to it.

“I think that we should not engage in this tit-for-tat,” Buck spoke during an interview.

“I have a little bit less certainty about Congressman Schiff and Swalwell on Intelligence just because it’s a little bit different than a regular committee,” He concluded. “But I’m going to think through that and make a decision.”

Axios Noted His office claims that he “wouldn’t support the removal of Rep. Omar” The Committee.

One of Omar’s biggest defenders has been Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who claimed that it was a First Amendment issue.

“We don’t have to agree with everything that members say,” Mace Submitted Fox News. “I think we have to be very careful about what we are as a constitutional republic.”

“I am not a fan of Ilhan Omar. She’s an anti-Semite. She’s a bigot. She’s a racist. She’s a socialist,” Mace continued. “But that doesn’t mean that we cancel people in this country. Republicans don’t stand for cancel culture. And that’s essentially what this is.”

Mace Claim Omar must be expelled from the House Foreign Affairs Committee “sets a dangerous precedent,” Despite the fact that Republicans were previously kicked out of committees by Democrats for making controversial comments,

“There’s so much anti-Semitism in this country. We should be condemning it right and left as we always have, but there’s also the First Amendment right to do that,” She spoke. “We’re all talking about the Twitter files and conservatives being censored, you know, it’s, it’s, it seems pretty hypocritical if you ask me.”

Omar replied that she was trying to get her out of the committee. “a blow to the integrity of our democratic institutions, and a threat to our national security.”

Mace was the first to jump to Omar’s defense, claiming a few weeks ago that it was about principle.

“I’m not going to support it,” Mace stated. “I try to be consistent in my values … regardless of who’s in charge.”

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R.IN) indicated this week that her opposition to Omar’s removal from Foreign Affairs.

“Two wrongs do not make a right,” Spartz made the statement Tuesday. “Speaker Pelosi took unprecedented actions last Congress to remove Reps. Greene and Gosar from their committees without proper due process. Speaker McCarthy is taking unprecedented actions this Congress to deny some committee assignments to the Minority without proper due process again.”

“As I spoke against it on the House floor two years ago, I will not support this charade again,” She claimed. “Speaker McCarthy needs to stop ‘bread and circuses’ in Congress and start governing for a change.”
