Omar and out: GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy vows to yank 'Squad' member from House committee
McCarthy made the comments while speaking at the high-profile Republican Jewish Coalition’s 2022 leadership meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, an annual conference of prominent Jewish conservatives led by Dr. Miriam Adelson, widow of the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. The House GOP leader's remarks come two days after his party reclaimed the lower chamber of Congress, placing McCarthy one step closer to clinching the speaker's gavel.
The event, which also featured appearances by former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, is considered the unofficial start of the GOP campaign to nominate a 2024 standard-bearer. It is also the first major gathering since Republicans underperformed expectations in the midterm elections, despite retaking the House by a small margin.
