Alabama GOP resolution calls for Rep. Ilhan Omar to be expelled from Congress

A resolution passed last weekend at the GOP summer meeting in Auburn called for Alabama’s elected Congressional delegation to “proceed with the expulsion process” for Ilhan Omar, a first-term Democratic Representative and one of the first two Muslim women elected to the House. Omar has been criticized for her comments about Israel and America’s long-time support for its ally.
“Rep. Omar has engaged in rhetoric that explicitly runs counter to American values and patriotism by falsely accusing U.S. armed forces of committing war crimes while on mission to liberate her home country of Somalia,” the resolution noted, adding Omar also “dismissed the 9/11 terror attacks” and “sympathized with a convicted terrorist” by advocating for “sentencing leniency.”
