Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced her intent to offer privileged resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and to strip her of her committee assignments over the Democrat’s viral remarks on Somalia.
“The form of the resolution is as follows: Censuring Rep. Ilhan Omar of Somalia — I mean, Minnesota,” the Republican said on the House floor Thursday.
“Whereas elected members of Congress take an oath to bear true faith and allegiance to the United States without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. Whereas Rep. Ilhan Omar took an oath of allegiance to the United States upon becoming a citizen declaring, ‘I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen,’” Greene continued.
“Whereas on January 27, 2024, Rep. Omar gave remarks at an event in Minneapolis in which she made treasonous statements,” Greene added, before launching into examples of excerpts she found objectionable from the congresswoman’s recent passionate speech on supporting Somalia.
