Nancy Pelosi faces backlash for placing @IlhanMN on House Foreign Affairs Committee washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/… via @washtimes
“It is disgraceful that Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat majority gave a coveted seat on the House Foreign Relations Committee to a member who has a documented history of making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said in a Thursday statement.
“Rather than standing up against the disturbing rise of anti-Semitic rhetoric on the left, House Democrats have now just endorsed that ideology,” he said.
House Republican Conference chair Liz Cheney called on Democrats to “correct this immediately,” while former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Friday that Mrs. Pelosi should “reverse herself.”
“Nancy Pelosi should ask Omar to step down, and if she doesn’t step down, the Democrat leadership should remove her,” Mr. Flesicher told Fox News.
Republicans weren’t alone. The move, which received extensive coverage in the Jewish and Israeli press, was also condemned by Jewish groups and advocates of Israel.
