GOP Rep. Fine Considers Forcing House Vote To Boot Ilhan Omar

Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, is reportedly considering forcing a House vote to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota. Fine told Axios on Wednesday that he is actively weighing the move.

He said the potential action would be based on allegations that Omar married her brother, along with what he described as her “general embrace of Muslim terror,” Axios reported. “I don’t think she should be a citizen, let alone a member of Congress,” Fine told the outlet.

The comments followed a fundraising email from Omar’s campaign calling for Fine to be expelled from Congress over past remarks in which he said Muslims should be “destroyed.”

And I am actively considering that.”Axios noted that expelling a member of the House requires a two-thirds vote.
