Omar on stripping Boebert's committee assignments: 'very confident' Pelosi will hold vote 'next week'
Rep. Omar says Congress should 'punish and sanction' Boebert
By Cameron Cawthorne | Fox News
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said Sunday she is "very confident" that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will hold a vote to strip Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., of her committee assignments in the near future in response to her recent controversial comments about Omar.
"We should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language," Omar said. "By doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condemn this, that we are going to do that."
CNN's "State of the Union" anchor Jake Tapper then asked Omar whether she believed Pelosi would hold the vote to strip Boebert of her committee assignments.
"I've had a conversation with the Speaker and I'm very confident that she will take decisive action next week," Omar said. "As you know, when I first got to Congress, I was worried that I wasn't going to be allowed to be sworn in because there was a ban on the hijab. She promised me that she would take care of it. She fulfilled that promise. She's made another promise to me that she will take care of this, and I believe her."
