Alabama Republicans: Expel Omar

The Alabama Republican Party is calling on Congress to expel controversial Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). The party's state executive committee on Saturday in Auburn approved a resolution asking Alabama's congressional delegation to begin the process of booting Omar from the House, citing a history of anti-American and anti-Semitic statements. State Rep. Tommy Hanes (R-Bryant) offered the following resolution:

WHEREAS, 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

WHEREAS, Rep. Omar dismissed the 9/11 terror attacks waged by

radical Islam on the World Trade Center by stating "some people did

something"

WHEREAS, Rep. Omar sympathized with a convicted terrorist and

member of the Islamic State of lraq and Syria by advocating a U.S.

District Judge for sentencing leniency

WHEREAS, Rep. Omar has a disturbing record of using anti-Semitic

language that includes alleging Jewish money is used to buy American

influence regarding its policy toward Israel; Rep. Omar is also a supporter

of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Alabama Republican Party

urges its elected congressional delegation to proceed with the expulsion

process in accordance to Article 1, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution to

expel Rep. Ilhan Omar from the United States House of Representatives.
