Speaker Pro Tempore: "The gentleman is recognized."

Chairman Guest:

"Thank you Madame Speaker. I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing I want to adopt the comments that were made by then Chairman of Foreign Affairs, Elliot Engel. In late February of 2019 Chairman of Foreign Affairs Engel, after a third anti-semitic statement in just over two weeks, 17 days to be exact, then Chairman Engel said these words,

"It is unacceptable and deeply offensive to call into question the loyalty of fellow American citizens based on their political views, including support for the U.S. - Israel relationship. We all take the same oath. Worse, Representative Omar leveled that charge by invoking a vile anti-semitic slur."

Chairman Engel went on to say that,

"Such comments have no place in the Foreign Affairs Committee or the House of Representatives."

I agree with the statements made by Chairman Engel. Not only do Representative Omar's comments have no place in the Foreign Affairs Committee I hold that anyone making such comments has no place serving on the Foreign Affairs Committee and I ask that all members support this resolution removing Ms. Omar from the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

I yield back"
