foreign affairs committee most likely by the end of the day. but she seems quite determined to have even a bigger platform. she ll be on other committees. her voice probably will likely get stronger and more prominent. very passionate and powerful speech when she talks about her journey from africa. she was born in somalia and came here as a refugee. listen, there does seem to be a pattern from republicans in terms of targeting people. and i think she was alluding to that. she talked about obviously interestingly being from africa that was, if you remember, what donald trump said about africa, calling it a country, not a continent. but there does seem to be a pattern of targeting brown people, targeting immigrants, targeting of the other essentially. and that seems to be what she is saying this is reflective of. it s reflective of some of the things that the republican party has done over these last many years. she s saying she s not going anywhere, she s standing there as this vote
those eight years actually went down 10 billion. so i know we can find savings and get our economy stronger. after when republicans were in majority, we passed that tax package. revenue into the government has never been higher. it s the highest revenue we ve ever seen in. so it s not a revenue problem, it s a spending problem. a couple interesting things happened on the floor right now. if you combine the number of democrats who voted no and voted president, there s a hundred democrats that won t stand up against socialism. that s a real concern to me in america today. it s not just that wasn t a college vote on a college campus. that was a vote in the u.s. congress that 100 democrats couldn t say socialism was wrong. that s a scary point of view. but you also understand why we re in a spending problem that they are when they were in the majority. so let me stop there and take any questions you may have. the white house said that the president s open to talking

minnesota. the house is about to vote to kick her off the house foreign affairs committee. she is speaking right now saying yes, she s a muslim, she s a refugee, she has said some controversial things but she s a proud american and her views should be considered by republicans and democrats alike. let s listen. and my leadership will be celebrated around the world as it has been. [ applause ] so take your vote or not. i am here to stay, and i am here to be a voice against harms around the world and advocate for a better world. i yield back. [ applause ] again, ilhan omar speaking a fiery address, a defiant speech on the floor of the house of representatives. the republican led house is about to vote to kick her off of the foreign affairs committee. she says it is retribution and unfair. she says it is unamerican. but it is no surprise to her. the republicans who said barack
