It was Omar's history of anti-Semitic comments that finally did her in, as well as her refusal to admit she was wrong to make them.
The vote to kick Omar off the powerful panel came after a heated floor debate that broke along party lines, with 218 Republicans voting to strip her of the assignment and 211 Democrats backing their Jew-hating colleague. One Republican, David Joyce of Ohio, voted present because he's an asshat with mothballs for testicles.

“Oh, so now we can vote her off,” McCarthy told reporters after the assignments were finalized.
Republicans pointed out six disgusting statements Omar made as a congresswoman that “under the totality of the circumstances, disqualify her from serving on the Committee of Foreign Affairs,” said Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS).
“All members, both Republicans and Democrats alike who seek to serve on Foreign Affairs, should be held to the highest standard of conduct due to the international sensitivity and national security concerns under the jurisdiction of this committee,” Guest said.
It also helps to not hate people for their immutable characteristics or religious beliefs, but tell that to a jihadi like Ilhan Omar and nothing changes.
The resolution, proposed by Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) to ditch the b**ch reads: “Omar’s comments have brought dishonor to the House of Representatives.”
“Omar clearly cannot be an objective decision-maker on the Foreign Affairs Committee given her biases against Israel and the Jewish people,” it continued.

The committee’s chairman, Michael McCaul (R-TX) said he supported the resolution, telling reporters Omar’s “worldview of Israel is so diametrically opposed to the committee’s.” [And to human decency. You can hate the politics of any nation, but to wish for its annihilation is another thing altogether.]
“I don’t mind having differences of opinion, but this goes beyond that.”Rep. Ilhan Omar once compared Israel to terrorist organizations like Hamas and the Taliban. In fact, Omar also compared the United States to Hamas and the Taliban and made no apologies about it.

And while Omar and her ilk like to claim racist victimhood, they are quick to accuse White people, particularly White men, of being racists and/or white supremacists, while having no problem killing unborn babies of color.
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), a cowardly Jewish Democrat from Omar's home state, has called out progressives for stoking anti-Semitism with attacks on Israel, while also saying he opposed the resolution because “we believe in the human capacity to make amends and that atonement should be rewarded, not punished.”
Being appropriate for any committee should be the reason someone is allowed to participate on it, and Omar has done nothing to atone or make amends to Israel and the Jews.
Nobody is taking away her freedom of speech, like the left and Antifa tries to do with conservative speakers, but taking away her being on a committee that she is clearly not suited for is a no brainer. Heck, that would be like allowing someone who slept with a Chinese spy or someone who used secret information for political purposes to be on an Intelligence Committee.
