Congresswoman Ilhan Omar blasted House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy this week after she was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, claiming the decision was motivated by “racism and xenophobia.”

I mean, I would certainly suggest that she is guilty of those things.

True, but not the way she thinks it is true.

She was removed for her anti Semitism and hatred of Jews.

McCarthy is not himself removing her from the Foreign Relations committee. It has to be voted on and he's allowing the vote to happen.

The reason is a tweet she issued that was racist against Jews in Israel. She has since then apologized for it.

To be fair Omar has been pretty based when it comes to Ukraine. She isn't towing the establishment line.

Progressives see the world as systems vs humanity.

So they try to destroy humanity and install new systems.

Removing someone from a sensitive intelligence position can, ans absolutely should, be motivated by xenophobia.

She. Isn't. An. American.

Humanity is a system

So that is not correct they see it as system vs system challenge where inclusion or assimilation into a larger system is greater than the structured and stratified systems

Interesting observation by Rep. Ilhan Omar.

She should look at her constituent base in the 5th Congressional District in Minnesota. It's 63.6% white, mostly of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish descent, and traditionally Lutheran.

I don't think Ms Omar would be in Congress if racism is as systemic as she claims. I have a feeling Kevin McCarthy is excluding her for some other reason than racism and/or xenophobia.

Yep, makes sense. I think she's absolutely correct that those are good reasons for her to have been removed.

Technically this is true because everything that happens now is racist.

Its actually many systems with billions of individual exceptions.

Democrats want society constructed like labor unions. Where bureaucrats deal with groups and identities, not people and you're limited by the worst of your tribe.
