Alabama’s Republican Party is urging the state’s congressional delegation to begin the process of expelling freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from Congress.

The state GOP supported a resolution calling for the congresswoman's ouster at its summer meeting in Auburn this past weekend, according to Al.com. The committee reportedly approved the resolution on a voice vote after it was introduced by state Rep. Tommy Hanes.

The resolution calls on Alabama's congressional delegation to "proceed with the expulsion process in accordance to Article 1, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution."

Omar, a Somali refugee who last year became one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, has sparked criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over her comments about issues tied to U.S.-Israeli relations.

The resolution backed by Alabama Republicans condemns Omar for what it calls her "disturbing record of using anti-Semitic language that includes alleging Jewish money is used to buy American influence regarding its policy toward Israel."...........................

24. I agree n/t

[lonely bird]

4. Can we please expel Alabama from the union?

If not, how about we move NASA from Huntsville?

[DAMANgoldberg]

18. For my home state...

I'm all for it. But cede Madison (Huntsville) & Limestone Counties to TN and Lee County (Auburn-Opelika and Auburn University) to GA.
Mobile and Baldwin Counties to FL. Don't know what to do about Jefferson (B'ham), Shelby, and Tuscaloosa Counties (U of A, Mercedes)

The rest of the state, including the county where I grew up, well...

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) hit back at the Alabama Republican Party on Tuesday after the organization formally urged Congress to remove her from office.

“Sorry, @ALGOPHQ, but this is a representative democracy,” Omar tweeted. “I was elected with 78% of the vote by the people of Minnesota’s 5th District, not the Alabama Republican Party.”

She then made a dig at the Alabama GOP’s decision in the 2018 midterms to back failed Senate candidate Roy Moore, who allegedly sexually assaulted several teen girls.

“If you want to clean up politics, maybe don’t nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate?” she added.........................

15. I hope that leaves some rug burns on them LOL

[keithbvadu2]

6. NY Yankee Trump called them dumb southerners and they still love him.

NY Yankee Trump called them dumb southerners and they still love him.

[yaesu]

8. There is a video from the 90's I think that shows tRump saying that if he ran for president he

would run as a republican because those people are so gullible they'd believe anything.

[not_the_one]

13. that video should be running, non-stop

Democrats, you have an ad for the election.

[Archae]

17. According to Snopes, he didn't say that.

[groundloop]

21. Yeah, but I saw it on the internet so it must be true !!!!!!

[BlueIdaho]

7. Can't think of a more useless, pointless waste of time.

Maybe they could concentrate on fixing all the things that make Alabama such a shit hole state.

[Stargazer09]

19. If they did that...

...they would be out of a job. They are a huge reason why Alabama is the way it is.

[certainot]

9. all this is based on a a few assholes on the radio, led by limbaugh, who have been attacking

omar and aoc and the 'squad' for over a year

yeah sure, fox can hold limbo's balls

that the left/liberals/dems don't recognize that is really stupid on their part

[The Liberal Lion]

10. Hard to believe these turd brains really give two craps about Israel.

[guillaumeb]

11. The same Alabama GOP that supports their pedophile Roy Moore?

That Alabama GOP?

[SpankMe]

12. Affirming Republicans' hostility toward democracy

They say Rep. Omar alleged that "...Jewish money is used to buy American influence regarding its policy toward Israel."

They should also criticize her for alleging that water is wet, Antarctica is cold and dry, and that Liberace was sort of gay.

[a kennedy]

14. Ah, I think this really does say it all.......

#1 in teen pregnancy
#2 in infant mortality
#3 in obesity
#4 in divorce rate
#5 in poverty
#5 in federal dollars dependency
#45 in economy
#46 in health care
#50 in education (!!!)

So clean up this mess then you can even OPEN YOUR MOUTH!!!!!!

[cstanleytech]

16. Most of those Congressional Repugnants in that state are probably proud over

that entire list.

[bonniebgood]

23. The List is 100% Accurate. #50 on the list is the reason for all the others. #1-#46. Shameful

[B Stieg]

20. Couldn't she just wear a scarlet letter?

Conservatives love shit like that...

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

22. I believe that "we don't like her" is not grounds for expulsion n/t

[CrispyQ]

25. In Colorado republicans like to waste time & effort on recall attempts.

They hate representative government. Oh sure they were okay with it when mostly white men were called all the shots, but once the uppity women, people of color, & gays started demanding & getting equality & equity in the system, well, that representative government shit has got to go.

They are misogynistic, racist, homophobic, hypocritical assholes of the highest order.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Since when does Alabama get to decide who represents Minnesota?

I and my neighbors get to decide who represents MN CD-5, not a bunch of knuckle-draggers from Alabama who tried to get a pedophile elected.

[raccoon]

35. If that could be done, I ask, no BEG, MN to decide that Graham doesn't represent SC. nt

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. I am so sick of "foreign" states meddling in our elections....Omar for the win ..

If you want to clean up politics, maybe don’t nominate an accused child molester as your Senate candidate?

[Cousin Dupree]

28. But what are they doing about the bat-shit crazy toddler in the White House?

[Brainfodder]

29. That's some southern stupidity that is funny AF (to me).

They think they can oust someone from another state in this way.

Hilarious!

[TheRealNorth]

30. Fuck you Alabama Republicans

If you think Minnesota cares what Alabama wants, I'd advise you to re-read your history about the 1st Minnesota at Gettysburg.

[Marcuse]

31. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

32. If they really want her gone, ...

... they should finance a good Democratic candidate for the 2020 primary in her district. Otherwise, they're just laughable.

[BigDemVoter]

33. Why not a resolution to throw that backward ass state out of the Union?

[raccoon]

34. Since when does a state have any say in who ANOTHER state sends to Congress? nt

[TomSlick]

36. As Yoda would say,
