Several House Republicans are moving to remove radical-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee assignments, according to reports.
The move come in response to an announcement from Democrats this week that they are pushing to remove freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from her committee assignments.
“The House is set to consider a measure this week that calls for Taylor Greene, a controversial first-term lawmaker known for his support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee,” Fox News reported.

- Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC)
- Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA)
- Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ)
- Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX)
