Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) has offered up a resolution to censure Ilhan Omar and to remove her from two committees where she would have a conflict of interest, favoring Somalia over the interests of the United States. MTG wanted to expel Omar, but she did not believe there would have been enough votes to do it.
That is probably true considering how tied up the Democrats are with Hamas and other terrorist groups.
Greene’s censure resolution called Omar treasonous for her remarks about representing Somalia in the US Congress. The Democrats have had a chance to punish Omar for her anti-Semitism, but each time they defended her like she was actually one of their own.
She may have gone too far taking Somalia over the United States. But, considering the hatred the Democrats have for democracy and the Constitution, you never know what they will do. I am a betting man, but I would not bet on this either way.
House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) has called on Omar to resign and has filed a demand for an Ethics Committee investigation of Omar. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has called for Omar to be tossed out, have her citizenship revoked, and be deported.
Omar claims that her speech was translated badly, but the translation lines up with other speeches and opinions she has stated. And during her speech to Somalis, she used the terms “us” and “ours” multiple times and referred to the president of Somalia as “Our president.”

In a December 2022 trip to Somalia, Omar met with government leaders and spoke to them as if she was a fellow Somali offical, using the words “we” and “our” (VOA excerpt):
U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar hailed recent victories scored by the Somali government and local community forces against al-Shabab militants in central Somali regions.
Omar, who was born in Somalia, has been visiting the country since Thursday. In Mogadishu, she met with President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre and members of the Cabinet and parliamentarians on Monday.
Speaking at a dinner in her honor hosted by Barre, Omar congratulated the Somali leaders for the “big success” against al-Shabab militants.
Omar called for collaboration in defeating the group she accused of “dishonoring” Islam.
“Our country and our religion have been associated with terrorism [because] of the dishonor they brought on us,” she said. “We have to get rid of them as Somalis and as Muslims and pray and support each other in that work.”
Remarks from U.S. Rep. Illan Omar:
We Somalis are people who love each other. It’s possible that we might sometimes have disagreements but we are also people who can rely on each other. We are people who are siblings. We are people with courage. We are people who know that they are Somali and Muslim. We are people who support each other.
So when I heard that people who call themselves Somalis signed an agreement with Ethiopia, many people reached out to me and said I needed to talk to the U.S. government. They asked, what would the U.S. government do? My answer was that the U.S. government will do what we tell the U.S. government to do. That is the confidence we need to have as Somalis. We live in this country. This is the country where we pay taxes. This is the country that has elected a woman from your community. For as long as I am in Congress, no one will take over the seas belonging to the nation of Somalia and the United States will not support others who seek to steal from us. So feel comfortable Somali Minnesotans that the woman you sent to Congress is aware of this issue and feels the same way you do.
I want to tell President Hassan Sheikh that we are happy with the great work that you have done. We are happy that you have made the people of Somalia and those who live everywhere feel that no matter how difficult our current situation, we are people who have power and who believe in their country.
I want to congratulate Somalis living in Minnesota and elsewhere for being united, for standing with our president because he needs our support. Somalia is Somali. Somalia is one. We are siblings. Our land will not be divided. God willing we will seek to return our missing territory and will not allow the territory we have now to be divided.
I want to thank you for how you have welcomed me. May peace be upon you.
