• Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) denounced House Republicans for issuing a “targeted” attack against her fellow “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) ahead of a House vote to oust the latter from her position on the Foreign Affairs Committee.
• “I think one of the things that we should talk about, and what is one of the disgusting legacies after 9/11, has been the targeting and racism against Muslim Americans throughout the United States of America, and this is an extension of that legacy,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a House speech on Thursday.
• “There is nothing consistent with the Republican Party’s continued attack except for the racism and the incitement of violence against women of color in this body.”
