Did Ilhan Omar get kicked out of the Democratic party as an official because of John Kennedy 's new bill

1. What actually happened: committee removal, not party expulsion

Multiple mainstream outlets report that Republicans in the House voted to remove Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in February 2023; this was a House vote led by the GOP majority citing past comments about Israel ^{[1] [2] [4]}. Those votes removed her from a committee assignment, not from the Democratic Party. Fact-checkers also note the 2023 action is sometimes recycled as “new” news in later years, but the original removal occurred in 2023 ^[5].

2. Who acted and why: House GOP move tied to past remarks and political tit-for-tat

Republican leaders argued Omar’s past statements about Israel justified removing her from Foreign Affairs; Democrats called the measure partisan revenge after Democrats had previously removed far-right Republicans from committees ^{[1] [3]}. Coverage documents a sharply partisan atmosphere where committee discipline has become reciprocal rather than a neutral adjudication ^{[1] [3]}.

3. Where Senator John Kennedy fits — and where he does not

Available sources in the provided search results record public disagreements between Omar and Senator John Kennedy (coverage of Kennedy’s comments and Omar’s response appears in opinion and reporting, e.g., ^[6]; p2_s2). Those sources, however, do not tie any Kennedy “bill” to the removal of Omar from committee posts or say Kennedy forced the Democratic Party to expel her; no source in the provided set reports that a Kennedy-sponsored bill kicked Omar out of the Democratic Party or caused her committee removals ^{[6] [7]}. Therefore claims linking a John Kennedy bill to her being “kicked out of the Democratic party as an official” are not supported by these sources.

4. Party membership versus committee assignments — legal and practical differences

Sources make clear that committee membership is controlled by House rules and majority votes; removing a member from a committee is a congressional action, not an action by a political party to expel someone from their party affiliation ^{[2] [1]}. The provided materials do not report any process by which the Democratic Party expelled Omar as a party official or revoked her Democratic membership ^{[8] [9]}. Available sources do not mention any change to Omar’s formal party affiliation.

5. Competing narratives and political motives

Reporting and opinion pieces present two competing frames: Republicans framed committee removal as accountability for past remarks; Democrats and commentators described it as partisan revenge or bigotry ^{[1] [3] [10]}. Several outlets note Democrats later reassigned Omar to other committees and defended her as a prominent voice for their caucus, underscoring political strategy rather than formal party discipline ^{[11] [12]}.

6. Common misinformation patterns documented by fact-checkers

PolitiFact and similar outlets have flagged repeated social posts that recycle the 2023 committee removal as “new” or claim she was removed in later years; they rate those recirculated claims false and emphasize the original 2023 vote as the accurate event ^[5]. That pattern suggests readers should be wary of resurfaced clips or headlines presented without dates.

7. Bottom line for the original query

The claim that Ilhan Omar “got kicked out of the Democratic party as an official because of John Kennedy’s new bill” is not supported by the provided reporting. She has been removed from House committee assignments by House Republican votes (not expelled from the Democratic Party), and available sources do not connect any John Kennedy bill to a party expulsion or to her committee removals ^{[2] [1] [6]}. If you have a specific Kennedy bill in mind, name it and I will check the available reporting for any linkage; current sources do not mention such a bill.
