House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he will follow through with his pledge to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota off the House Foreign Affairs Committee in the new Congress.
Ms. Omar, who is losing her committee assignment over her anti-Semitic rhetoric, is among a handful of Democratic lawmakers Mr. McCarthy will boot from committees for various offenses. He is following a precedent set by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the current Congress.
“I made another promise to you last time. There was this Congresswoman Ilhan Omar,” Mr. McCarthy told attendees at a Republican Jewish Coalition event in Las Vegas on Saturday, eliciting boos from the crowd.
