WASHINGTON - House GOP lawmakers are seeking this week to oust Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from her committee assignments as Democrats push for similar action against embattled Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Fox News has learned.
The House is set to consider a measure this week that calls for Taylor Greene, a controversial first-term lawmaker known for her support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee.
Rep. Jim Jordan R-Ohio, joins Fox News @ Night to discuss the Trump impeachment and Marjorie Taylor Greene controversy.
Rep. Ilhan Omar s congressional campaign is raising money to fight back against a GOP effort to strip her of congressional committees for her past inflammatory statements as Democrats push for similar action against embattled Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
Omar s reelection campaign sent out a fundraising email to supporters Wednesday seeking to raise $150,000 to counter Greene and the GOP. The announcement comes after Greene launched a successful fundraising blitz of her own in which she raised at least $160,000 off growing efforts to strip her of committee assignments.

Quick question: What is most fanatical terrorist state in the world?
Quick answer: According to a 2017 reportthe worlds leading state sponsor of terrorism is Iran.
I go back to 2017 to remind readers that this report was issued by the new Trump administrations State Department and that it departed radically from the assessment of Barack Obamas State Department and the previous eight years of the Obama regimes starry-eyed infatuation with that terrorist state, to the degree that both Barack Obama and then-VP Joe Biden were enthusiastic co-architects of the Iran deal (aka the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).

NBC retracts story on Biden official’s ties to $500,000 in AIPAC donations
(JTA) NBC has retracted a report about hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby group, by a top Biden security official’s family foundation.
The article, which amplified a report by the left-wing investigative magazine Mother Jones, outlined more than $500,000 in giving to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee by a foundation named for Anne Neuberger, the top Biden cybersecurity official, and her husband Yehuda. The foundation funnels its donations through the Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore.
The article quoted only anonymous sources, including multiple who suggested that Neuberger’s ties to AIPAC donations “would raise a lot of eyebrows” about her impartiality.
The rebukes over alleged anti-Semitism could well trigger a chain reaction in the Republican Party. The party prides itself on its unwavering support for Israel, a unifying issue for the GOP as it prepares to defend former President Donald Trump’s historic pro-Jerusalem initiatives.
The coalition said it supported Republican John Cowan against Ms. Greene in the 2020 primary race, marking only the second time the coalition has gotten involved in a contest at the primary level, based on her “video diatribes” and “bizarre political conspiracy theories.”
“The RJC has never supported or endorsed Marjorie Taylor Greene,” the coalition said. “We are offended and appalled by her comments and her actions. We opposed her as a candidate and we continue to oppose her now. She is far outside the mainstream of the Republican Party, and the RJC is working closely with the House Republican leadership regarding next steps in this matter.”
