Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York condemned the GOP for 'racism and incitement of violence against women of color.'
'Don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of antisemitic remarks...This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America,' AOC said emphatically.
Democratic Rep. Rashid Tlaib of Michigan broke down as she said: 'Congresswoman Omar, I am so sorry that our country is failing you today through the chamber.'
She raised her voice in a howl as she was told her time was cut off.
'You belong on this committee,' she half sobbed, half screamed before her microphone was cut off.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy's got the Squad member removed over her history of comments comparing Israel to Hamas and the Taliban and saying the relationship between the Jewish state and the U.S. is 'all about the Benjamins' in 2019.
'She described 9/11 by saying "some people did something",' McCarthy said.

'The Foreign Affairs committee involves sensitive intelligence briefings and things like that, and when it comes to our national security and when it comes to our relationship with Israel, her views have a bearing on her ability to serve on that committee,' Rep. Andy Barr said.
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds incredulously asked DailyMail.com, 'Are you serious?' when questioned about why he believes Omar should be kicked off the high-profile Foreign Affairs panel.
'First of all, Congresswoman Omar - this is now the third time that issues have been made about her anti-Semitic comments. In 2019. There was a resolution brought to the House floor, specifically about her, that Nancy Pelosi watered down to just say Congress opposes antisemitism,' Donalds said.
'Well, of course Congress opposes antisemitism, but there is one member that has had this rhetorical issue, and frankly philosophical issue, for some time.
'We have our political issues here in the United States. We all know that. But Israel being our most important ally in that region has not been a point of this- of disagreement between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to foreign policy, save for one member. So why should that member continue to sit on Foreign Affairs?'
A DNA match between Rep. Ilhan Omar and her second husband Ahmed Elmi proves that the two are siblings. Omar's DNA was taken from a cigarette butt, while Elmi's came from a drinking straw. Omar has never before been known to be a smoker, however, she was seen in a grainy picture with a cigarette in her mouth
It had long been rumored that Omar and Elmi are siblings, but because of a lack of paperwork in war-torn Somalia, positive proof has never been uncovered previously
DailyMail.com had previously revealed that Omar was having an affair with her chief fundraiser Tim Mynett, a married father-of-one, whose company received more than half a million dollars from her campaign last year. They married last year
Omar had once been married to Ahmed Hirsi — who she later remarried. They have since divorced and in March 2020 she married Mynett, her chief fundraiser
In the 2000s Elmi (pictured) appeared in Minneapolis, said Somali blogger Abdihakim Osman. 'People began noticing that Ilhan and [Hirsi] were often with a very effeminate young guy. He was very feminine in the way he dressed — he would wear light lipstick and pink clothes and very short shorts in the summer. People started whispering about him. [Hirsi] and Ilhan told me it was Ilhan's brother'
Abdihakim Osman (left with Hirsi and right with Omar) is the first person to go on record to speak of how Omar said she wanted to get her brother papers so he could stay in the United States. But hardly anyone realized that meant marrying him. 'No one knew there had been a wedding until the media turned up the marriage certificate years later,' Osman, 40, told DailyMail.com
Osman said: 'When [Hirsi] and Ilhan got married, a lot of people were invited. It was a big Islamic wedding uniting two large clans in the Minneapolis community. I would say there were 100-150 people there.' But, he said: 'When she married Elmi, no one even knew about it.' Pictured: Omar (left) with Elmi (right)
The leftist congresswoman, 37, spent months denying she had split from husband Ahmed Hirsi despite this website revealing she had left their marital home and was having an affair with a campaign aide. Omar later finally filed for divorce from Hirsi (pictured together)
