Mace indicate that there were a"handful" of Republicans who are aligned in her thinking."I think it sets a very dangerous precedent. And you know, there's so much anti-Semitism in this country. We should be condemning it right and left as we always have, but there's also the First Amendment right to do that," she said.
Kevin McCarthy is under pressure to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. "We're all talking about the Twitter files and conservatives being censored, you know, it's, it's, it seems pretty hypocritical if you ask me," Mace added.Mace said that a resolution to remove Omar was yet to be circulated, and she would wait to read it before making her final decision.

But we've been asking for it, and it hasn't been released to public yet," she said.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
