The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate cover the furor over Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy stripping Rep. Ilhan Omar of her assignment on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. McCarthy’s motives were twisted for sure – he was canceling Omar for her speech, and specifically for criticizing the Israel lobby that funds his campaigns and those of his allies.
But Omar’s allies in the progressive squad claimed she was removed simply because she was a woman of color. Was that really the case?
And is Ilhan Omar actually advancing the antiwar cause, or is she, in fact, an insidious enabler of imperialism in Somalia, the country of her birth, as well as Ethiopia?
This discussion might make you think twice about Ilhan and the Squad.
