Politico’s Olivia Beavers had a pretty shocking scoop about GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (just look at those eye emojis!):
Olivia Beavers ~ 👀👀 GOP leader Kevin McCarthy tells Fox & Friends moments ago:
"I will promise you this: If we are fortunate enough to have the majority, Omar would not be serving on Foreign Affairs [Committee] or anybody that has an anti-semitic, anti American view."
We’re not actually sure what’s so shocking about McCarthy saying that a GOP-controlled House wouldn’t tolerate an anti-American, antisemitic bigot like Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee. But McCarthy’s statement has led CNN chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju to make a pretty bold prediction:
Manu Raju ~ Dems’ move to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene will be cited by Rs to strip Dems like Omar and Swalwell of their committee assignments if GOP takes majority.
These infantile media hacks are so hilarious ... whenever the shoe is on the other foot, they stamp their lil' feet and scream, "Republicans aren't allowed to do what the Democrats just did - that's just UN-AMERICAN!
That’s why he gets paid the big bucks, ladies and gentlemen.
Stephen L. Miller ~ Hey you figured it out!
Confused Mathematician ~ Ya think?
Ghost Gunner Lizzy ~ DERP DERP DERP.
Matthew Farnsworth ~ The fact that you are just realizing this is hilarious.
Jorge Bonilla ~ Who could have predicted that Democrats would be subjected to the precedents they create?

Ben McDonald ~ I mean ... seems fair no?
Ben McDonald ~ "Republicans are using the fact that they stripped an extremist of committee to strip another extremist of committee" isn't the own you think it is.
It’s a pretty great self-own, though.
Varad Mehta ~ This is a surprise only to anyone who marvels that the Sun rises in the east every morning.
What Manu Raju appears to be telling us, albeit unintentionally, is that he has a problem with Republicans giving Democrats a taste of their own medicine — and thus, that he’s a partisan hack.
jason anderson ~ You say that like it's a bad thing.
Dan Stringer, SEC Pimp ~ That’s how equal application of rules works.
Manu Raju’s concern would carry a lot more weight if he’d applied it equally to House Democrats. But he didn’t.
@TrickyDickPol ~ As they should. Why shouldn’t the GOP do the same? If this bothers you than maybe you should have condemned Democrats but you didn’t.
He didn’t, and now he’s in store for a rude awakening.
Taro Tsujimoto ~ Actions, consequences. It’s not like there was no warning on this.

Maybe one of these days, Manu and media, you’ll actually listen.
