Four House Republicans helped defeat an effort to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
In a 214-213 vote, an effort to censure the Minnesota Democrat spearheaded by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) failed.
The measure would have formally condemned Omar over her criticism of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and stripped her of all committee assignments.
“Omar has strenuously denied directly making the comments cited by Mace,” POLITICO noted.
The four Republicans who voted against the measure include:
Rep. Mike Flood (Nebraska) Rep. Jeff Hurd (Colorado) Rep. Tom McClintock (California) Rep. Cory Mills (Florida)
“We didn’t have the votes or guts to censure Omar,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) commented.
