House Votes Ilhan Omar , off Foreign Affairs Committee.
Fox News reports that the House voted 218-211
to remove Omar from the committee on Jan. 2.
Republicans had previously vowed to go through with the removal because of alleged antisemitic and anti-American comments Omar had previously made.
Representative Omar, by her own words,
has disqualified herself from serving on the Committee on Foreign Affairs, a panel that
is viewed by nations around the world as speaking for Congress on matters of international importance and national security, Foreign Affairs Committee, via four-page resolution.
Fox News reports that Democrats and Omar accused
the GOP of racism and hypocrisy, claiming they are only targeting "Democrats for questionable behavior.".
I am Muslim, I am an immigrant, and interestingly, from Africa. Is anyone surprised that I am being targeted? , Rep. Ilhan Omar, via statement.
Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy, or that they see me as a powerful voice that needs to be silenced?, Rep. Ilhan Omar, via statement.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defended Omar
and dismissed Republican claims of consistency regarding the representative's dismissal.
Consistency? There is nothing consistent with the Republican Party’s continued attack, except for the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body. , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, via statement.
This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, via statement.
Rep. Gregory Meeks also came to Omar's defense.
Why is this member being targeted today? Could it be the way
that she looks? Could it be
her religious practices? , Rep. Gregory Meeks, via statement.
Because it’s clear if she were on
the other side of the aisle, we would
not be having this debate today, Rep. Gregory Meeks, via statement

Jimmy Kimmel, host of the 95th Oscars, commented on the new carpet color.
I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet over a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed, Jimmy Kimmel, via statement.
ABC News reports that the carpet will be covered to not only protect from weather, but to also portray the elegance of an evening event.

We turned a day event into night. It’s evening, even though it’s still 3:00, Lisa Love, creative consultant, to Associated Press.
Originally, Love and Àvila chose a different color, but it didn't get everyone's approval,
so they went with the champagne color.
We chose this beautiful sienna, saffron color that evokes the sunset, because this is the sunset before the golden hour. , Lisa Love, creative consultant, to Associated Press.
Somebody’s always got a way to find something wrong with something.
This is just a lightness and hopefully people like it. It doesn’t mean
that it’s always going to be a
champagne-colored carpet, Lisa Love, creative consultant, to Associated Press.
