Congressman Threatens Expelling Colleague Over Emails, Votes Require Unicorns
KEY POINTS
- •Rep. Randy Fine said on Wednesday he is considering forcing a vote to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar from Congress.
- •Fine cited unproven allegations and Omar's campaign email asking for his expulsion as reasons behind his possible action.
- •Omar dismissed Fine's threats and previously survived a failed Republican censure and removal from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), who’s been busy advocating nuking Gaza and starving Palestinians, is now 'actively considering' a conjuring trick to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from Congress because she allegedly wants him expelled for "saying Muslims should be destroyed"—a line Fine swears he didn’t promote in fundraiser emails. Fine also revived an old conspiracy script about Omar marrying her brother and accused her of a ‘general embrace of Muslim terror,’ because subtlety in politics is so 20th century. Despite Fine's vow to bring a literal paper for the vote, his plan requires about 85 Democrats to jump ship, so his expulsion dream is about as plausible as a bipartisan kumbaya rave. Omar shrugged off Fine’s threats, pointing out that neither of them deserves a spot in a serious political conversation, all while quietly starring in the 2025-GOP Islamophobia-tainment saga.
