This is Congressman Mark Pocan. This week, I stood up on the House floor to say that the vote by House Republicans to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee was a new low.

Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans want us to believe this was over things Ilhan said.

It clearly isn’t so much about what Ilhan said, as who she is. Being a smart, outspoken, Black, woman of Muslim faith is apparently the issue. And since some Republicans can’t handle that, they decided to kick her off the committee.

We know that these attacks are just the beginning. Which is why I am making clear that I stand with Ilhan -- and I hope you will too.

Will you split a contribution -- of any amount you can -- to our campaigns and to the PCCC so we have the resources required to stand up to Kevin McCarthy and his far-right Republican allies? Your support is important.

Or, donate another amount.

Even Republican members of Congress admit that Ilhan is a talented member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.

If this was about what people have said, they would not have uplifted and seated on committees a Republican member who has a history of pathological lying. But they did.

If this was about what people have said, they would have ousted a Republican member who said that Jewish space lasers set forest fires in California. But did they? No! She is seated on powerful committees today.

Multiple Republican members have said prominent Jewish Democrats essentially bought control of Congress. But they are not only given full Congressional privileges -- Republicans elected them to leadership positions!

Republicans only draw the line when an incredibly productive member of a committee says something that she’s apologized for. That doesn’t add up.

But here’s what does add up: Making sure that we have the resources to stand up and fight back against Kevin McCarthy, his Republican allies, and the billionaires that support them.

Please donate today to our campaigns and the PCCC today.
