Mehdi Hasan: I Can’t Imagine Why the GOP Wouldn’t Want Ilhan Omar, a Black Muslim Dem Refugee to Be on the Foreign Affairs Cmte

EXCERPT:

HASAN: “Why he had to put Marjorie Taylor Greene — let’s be clear, Ali, this is a woman who’s a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, who’s questioned 9/11, she’s now sitting on the Homeland Security Committee, a committee formed in response to 9/11. Scott Perry, Republican from Pennsylvania, is now sitting on the Oversight Committee investigating the FBI, the FBI that subpoenaed his phone because of his possible involvement in the coup. This is absurd what the Republicans are doing here with these committee assignments, but it’s all about owning the libs. And of course, Ilhan Omar, I can't imagine why they would want a black Muslim woman Democratic refugee from Minnesota to not be on the Foreign Affairs Committee. I can’t imagine what’s driving that."
