AAN Launches Campaign Calling for Removal of Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee

WASHINGTON – The American Action Network (@AAN) today launched the first stage of a six-figure campaign pushing to remove Ilhan Omar from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Digital ads will run in four districts, calling on these Members of Congress to support Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) removal: Dean Philips (D-MN), Haley Stevens (D-MI), Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA).

“These members promised voters independent voices in Congress. But, sadly, they have been muted when it comes to calling Ilhan Omar to account for her anti-Semitic tropes. Omar’s anti-Semitism has no place on the Foreign Affairs Committee and they should say so,” said AAN Chairman and former Senator (R-MN) Norm Coleman.

“This is a matter of right and wrong,” said Dan Conston, AAN President. “Ilhan Omar is an anti-Semite and it is time for her colleagues take action. Omar should not be on the powerful Foreign Affairs Committee and these members need to step up and support her removal. ”

VO: Representative Ilhan Omar keeps hurling anti-Semitic slurs.

The latest? That Jews aren’t loyal to America.

And what’s Congresswoman Haley Stevens doing about it? Barely anything.

lhan Omar is still on the powerful Foreign Affairs Committee.

Inappropriate.

And Congresswoman Haley Stevens won’t call for her removal.

Call Congresswoman Stevens.

Tell her to support removing Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

It’s time to stand up to hate.
