The vote to remove Omar (D-Minn.) from the powerful panel after a heated debate broke along party lines, with 218 Republicans voting to strip her of the assignment and 211 Democrats backing their colleague.

GOPers cited six statements Omar had made that "under the totality of the circumstances, disqualify her from serving on the Committee of Foreign Affairs," said Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.).
"All members, both Republicans and Democrats alike who seek to serve on Foreign Affairs, should be held to the highest standard of conduct due to the international sensitivity and national security concerns under the jurisdiction of this committee," Guest said.

The actual resolution, proposed by Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), read: "Omar's comments have brought dishonor to the House of Representatives."

"Omar clearly cannot be an objective decision-maker on the Foreign Affairs Committee given her biases against Israel and the Jewish people," it continued.

In a Twitter posting Wednesday evening, Omar urged House members to "reject" removing her.
