Democrats Draft Anti-Semitism Resolution After Controversial Remarks From Ilhan Omar

I’m pleasantly surprised by this.

According to that sourcelink, Democrats are drafting an anti-semitism resolution, following the near constant controversial remarks from their newest problem-child, Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The declaration, written by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats, comes after Omar’s new remarks suggesting American supporters of Israel are pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.” It’s at least the third time the Minnesota Democrat’s words have put her colleagues in a more delicate spot than usual on the U.S.-Israel relationship, and the second time in two months that she’s drawn a stern backlash from party leaders.

To be clear, the resolution doesn’t call out Omar specifically.

A draft of the resolution does not rebuke Omar, a Somali-American and one of two Muslim women in Congress. But it sets out the history of anti-Semitism and bigotry in America, including anti-Jewish tropes about divided loyalties. The document also rejects bigotry directed against Muslims after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

It says the House “rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”

Dems are hoping this fixes their little issue. Then the next time Omar says something horrible, they can be all, “Well we basically already condemned it in that resolution so…there.”

Thoughts?
