Phillips stands with Ilhan Omar

After criticizing Ilhan Omar for equating the United States and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban last week, Dean Phillips is reversing course. 

Phillips told CNN he will not support an effort to remove Omar from her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. 

NRCC Comment: “Dean Phillips is all talk and no action. If Phillips truly cared about Omar’s disgusting decision to compare the United States to terrorist organizations, he would support efforts to remove Omar from her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
