House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said during press conference Tuesday that Republicans will remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee if Democrats appoint her.

Omar has on several occasions come under fire for negative comments about Israel, which critics have described as “antisemitic.”
