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.
