                         FAIRNESS IN DISCIPLINE

  (Mr. ZELDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ZELDIN. Mr. Speaker, there is no room for anti-Semitism anywhere 
in this Chamber.
  This past January, the House voted nearly unanimously to condemn 
white supremacy, and it named a Republican Member as we did that. I 
voted for that.
  Back in January, around the same exact time, we had a Member 
apologize for remarks about how Israel had hypnotized the world, an 
anti-Semitic trope; a month later, apologizing for an allegation that 
if you support Israel, then you have been bought off by Jews; and now, 
claiming that if you support Israel, then that means that you have 
allegiance to a foreign government.
  But this time there will be no apology. I commend my colleagues on 
the other side of the aisle who have spoken out against it. This 
Chamber today should be taking action to condemn anti-Semitism, to be 
naming names; and where that Member in January was removed from his 
committees, including the Small Business Committee, the Member who has 
been putting out all those anti-Semitic tropes should not be serving on 
her committees, especially the House Foreign Affairs Committee, for 
many reasons.
  I encourage a vote today and to remove Congresswoman Omar from the 
House Foreign Affairs Committee.
