Nancy Mace calls the Squad 'drama queens' for their meltdown over Ilhan Omar's ... trends now

Rep. Nancy Mace, the last Republican holdout who ultimately joined her caucus in voting to boot Rep. Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs, said the uproar on the House floor over the Minnesota Democrat's ouster was 'drama queens on display.'

'I would say that was complete drama queens on full display. And there's no surprise there that they would use racism as an excuse,' Mace, R-S.C., told 'Fox and Friends' on Friday morning. 

'They weren't there two years ago when Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar were being kicked off. They weren't using that as an excuse. And it's really unbelievable. But it's very typical of the ‘Squad’ to see that kind of behavior on the floor.'

Omar's allies broke into hysterics as their progressive comrade was about to be booted from the high-powered committee.  

Speaker Kevin McCarthy cobbled together his caucus on a united front to remove Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee due to 'anti-Semitic remarks' she made in previous terms. 

Only one Rep. David Joyce, R-Ohio, voted 'present,' citing the need to recuse himself on a matter that could come before his Ethics Committee. 

Some cited national security concerns, while others noted that Democrats had kicked two Republicans off committees over remarks they made. 

A small number of Republicans were not originally on board with the ouster, citing free speech issues, but they were ultimately swayed to vote with the caucus. 

Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., gave her stamp of approval after McCarthy promised 'due process' - meaning Omar could appeal the decision to the Ethics Committee.

Mace became a 'yes' vote after McCarthy promised to put forward a new bipartisan process for removing members from committees. 

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., accused Republicans of 'white supremacy' as she and other left-wing members of the Squad condemned their efforts to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

'This institution is better because of her leadership and the foreign affairs committee benefits from her perspective,' she said. 

'So let's talk about what's really happening. 

'Republicans are waging a blatantly Islamophobic and racist attack on Congresswoman Omar and I've said it before I'll say it again: The white supremacy happening is unbelievable.' 

Before the vote count was handed down, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned the GOP for what she said amounted to 'racism and incitement of violence against women of color.'

'Don't tell me this is about consistency. Don't tell me that this is about a condemnation of antisemitic remarks...This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America,' the fellow Squad member shouted. 

And Rashid Tlaib broke down as she said: 'Congresswoman Omar, I am so sorry that our country is failing you today through the chamber.

'You belong on this committee.'

She raised her voice in a howl as she was told her time was cut off.

'You belong on this committee,' she half sobbed, half screamed before her microphone was cut off. 

Democrats screamed 'no' before the GOP completed Speaker Kevin McCarthy's bid to get the Squad member removed over her history of comments comparing Israel to Hamas and the Taliban and saying the relationship between the Jewish state and the U.S. is 'all about the Benjamins' in 2019. 

'She described 9/11 by saying "some people did something",' McCarthy said when explaining why he wanted to boot her from the committee in a press conference after she was kicked off.

McCarthy insisted Omar's removal was not 'tit-for-tat' - brushing off Democrat allegations it is 'revenge' for removing Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar from their assignments.
