Marjorie Taylor Greene files to censure Ilhan Omar — but wants votes to 'deport' her

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced a resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — but she insists that measure doesn't go far enough.

"Today, I introduced a censure resolution against Ilhan Omar, and the reason why I did that, and I'll just say this, censure is not going far enough," Greene said Thursday in a video posted to X. "If it were up to me, we would expel Ilhan Omar and deport her out of the United States."

According to Greene, Omar allowed "Somalians in the U.S." to tell the government what to do.

"She also said, for as long as I am in Congress, Somalia will never be in danger," the Georgia Republican continued. "Ihan Omar needs to be censured, but censure is not enough. I'm telling you right now, she's acting as a foreign agent on behalf of a foreign country. Our country is going to be taken over from the inside."

"Ilhan Omar needs to be censured," Greene added. "I urge my colleagues to vote to censure her."

In a recent viral video, Omar told a room full of Somali supporters that they could influence the U.S. government.

"We as Somalis should have that confidence in ourselves. We live in this country. We pay taxes in this country," she said, according to a translation. "It's a country where one of your own sits in Congress. As long as I'm in Congress, no one will take Somalia's sea. And the United States will not support other people to rob us. Rest assured, Minnesotans. The woman you sent to Congress is aware of you and has the same interest as you."

Greene is not the first Republican to call for Omar to be censured and deported.
