Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) released the following statement after voting for H.Res 76, Removing a certain Member from a certain standing committee of the House, and H.Con.Res 9, Denouncing the horrors of socialism.

“Let’s not forget who set this precedent: Nancy Pelosi,” said Rep. Hern. “The difference is that this time isn’t political. Someone who proudly makes anti-Semitic remarks should not sit on the committee that handles our relationship with Israel. Israel is a trusted ally; our nations have always been close. There are many standing committees in the House of Representatives that this individual may serve on, but we must protect our relationship with our strongest ally in the Middle East.”

Regarding H.Con.Res 9, Rep. Hern said, “This was one of the easiest votes I’ve ever cast in Congress. Socialism is a scourge on this planet and has destroyed countless lives. We will never allow the United States to become a socialist nation. I hope to see the President agree with this statement.”
