Marjorie Taylor Greene Pushes to Punish Ilhan Omar Over Mistranslated Remarks
-
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is forcing a House vote to punish Rep. Ilhan Omar over misquoted remarks about protecting Somalia's interests.
-
Greene's resolution would censure Omar and remove her from committees; House GOP previously removed her from Foreign Affairs Committee.
-
Resolution claims Omar said she's "here to protect the interests of Somalia," but that quote is a mistranslation.
-
Omar actually spoke about confidence in the US political system and her role in Congress representing Somalis.
-
Mistranslations went viral online; Rep. Emmer called for Omar’s resignation, Gov. DeSantis said she should be expelled and deported.
