The move to oust Omar has further unified House Democrats. Omar will now join Swalwell and Schiff, a triad of strong, pro-democracy voices in the House, all of which will inspire other Dems to step out, speak out and push back at every turn.

They've amplified Omar's voice, not diminished it. For her part, she played this perfectly and her speech on the floor was brilliant.

Keep digging that hole, Republicans!
