Phillips must act on Omar

Last night, Dean Phillips and other House Democrats issued a statement calling on notorious anti-Semite Ilhan Omar to “clarify” her comments equating the United States and Israel with Hamas terrorists and the Taliban.

Unfortunately for Democrats, a weak statement calling for clarification isn’t the standard they set.

Dean Phillips sits on the Foreign Affairs Committee with Omar.

Why won’t Phillips demand Omar’s removal from this committee?

NRCC Comment: “If Dean Phillips truly cared about Ilhan Omar’s anti-American and anti-Semitic rhetoric, she would immediately demand Omar’s removal from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Anything less proves Phillips would rather play partisan politics than do what’s right.” –NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
