House Democratic leaders are delaying a vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism that had been slated to take place on Wednesday, a senior Democratic aide confirmed Tuesday.
"We could consider something as early as Thursday," the source told The Hill.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.D.) told Fox News Tuesday evening they were “still drafting” the resolution, but feels it should be "anti-hate." The measure is expected to be updated to include language condemning anti-Muslim bias.
The resolution comes in the wake of Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) most recent controversial comments on Israel.
"I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” she said during a forum at a bookstore last week.
Her remarks sparked strong backlash from members on both sides of the aisle, who argued her comments were anti-Semitic.
An initial draft of the resolution does not name Omar specifically, but does condemn "accusations of dual loyalty generally have an insidious, bigoted history" and "acknowledges the dangerous consequences of perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes."
Top Republicans have called on Democrats to take a harder line on the issue, arguing the text of resolution should specifically reprimand Omar.
"I'm hearing that they are even going to pull back on their resolution that didn't even mention her - that they are afraid they can't even pass that," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told reporters Tuesday. "That's what I was just told on the floor, which to me is very concerning."
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who has previously sparred with Omar on Twitter over comments she made in the past, said Democrats should work across the aisle on the resolution.
"It would be good for them to bring to make this a bipartisan effort, work with Republicans and that would send a very strong message that an issue like this should transcend politics," he told The Hill. "The entire chamber united in January passing a resolution about white supremacy and it was determined Steve King couldn't serve on the Small Business Committee anymore. We should go to the House floor just like we all stand united."
Zeldin noted it's not the first time the House has felt the need to condemn anti-Semitism in response to comments made by Omar, adding he believes Democratic leadership needs to remove her from her committee assignment.
"I don't believe that she should have been appointed to the Foreign Affairs Committee in the first place and that even if she's not removed she's going to get herself kicked off that committee sooner rather than later," he continued.
While her comments were met with bipartisan pushback, a number of progressive lawmakers have come to Omar's defense.
"One of the things that is hurtful about the extent to which reprimand is sought of Ilhan is that no one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx + other communities (during the shutdown, a GOP member yelled “Go back to Puerto Rico!” on the floor)," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted.
"Let's not do anything hasty here."
Shocking!
The measure is expected to be updated to include language condemning anti-Muslim bias.
If Hitler and Stalin got into bed and had children: The elected politicians of the Democratic Political Party. Hitler hated Christians and considered Moslems to be the very best. The Democrats loved Uncle Jo Stalin.
The Rats got their marching orders from someone higher up that they have to reword it so not to hurt her.
Imagine that, the poor radical Muslim Omar has suffered greatly from anti-Muslim bias. /sarc
This proposed resolution by the House Democrats is a joke from start to finish. Do you folks realize that the Democrat, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has been the Speaker for only two months and the entire Democrat caucus in the House of Representatives is without any meaningful leadership whatsoever?
Madame Pelosi is a mega flop...garbage can material with every word she utters or stand she takes, or gets behind with her personal backing!!!
I could care less about the low life, Democrat Scum & Vermin in the Democrat House Caucus...but...I do care about the 23-25 “Blue Dog” moderate Democrats, that are being thrown to the ultra, left-wing, “Hate America” Democrat Party thugs every day.
These folks should immediately switch political parties and join the Republican Caucus right now.
Failure to do this will cause just about all of them to lose their seats come 2020. “Blue Dogs”....wake up...the handwriting is clearly on the wall for all of you to see and heed!!! Jump ship today, immediately & join the GOP House Caucus...right now!!!
This is awesome!!!!!!
Let all American jews see and feel this!
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
The Muzzies have the Socialist Democrat old timey folks dirtying their Huggies. They have to back off on Omar if they want to keep their heads attached to their shoulders.
“....Madame Pelosi is a mega flop...garbage can material with every word she utters or stand she takes, or gets behind with her personal backing!!!....”
Agree. The vile Botoxian is demon-possessed. The frail body of what was once a woman is totally controlled by it. Every move, every word, every action is from the pit of hell. Once that frail body is used it up, it will be discarded for another one to carry out the bidding of the Evil one.
That’s what I said earlier - the Dems will NOT do anything substantial about the anti-semite Omar.
They don’t care about her remarks. That will become even more clear as time goes by.
The measure is expected to be updated to include language condemning anti-Muslim bias.
Uh, it’s the muslim who is biased.
...........
Unbelievable how the rats are twisting this. Next they will blame the GOP for the hateful muzzie woman.
Nasty pelosi was in Austin blubbering about voter rights and redistricting. ...I didn’t watch but news reports say she had a good crowd. Austin is not Texas anymore.
Of course. Muslims are always victims /s
The Democrat Party now is officially a political party that hates Jews, hates Israel, hates, America, hates Americans, hates POTUS, Trump, loves Cuba, loves Venezuela, loves Socialism, loves Communism. Loves Despots, Dictators & Tyrants...Go Maduro...Go Castro....Go Putin...take note & heed gentlemen, Our Democrat Party will help & assist Cuba, Russia & Venezuela in destroying the American Republic!!!
Even Ex-NYC Mayor, Bloomberg has dropped out of the 2020 POTUS race. He realizes the Current Democrat Party is destroying itself from within and are traitors & turncoats to the American Republic!!!
This is an insufficient rebuke and I am offended.
Why would anything to you that has any love for the religion of Yahweh and Israel ever be a Democrat ?
I will never understand this is long as the day has the sun coming up and going down
I only can blame propaganda from the public school system and the university system which were taken over by hard core communist in the 1960s
Let’s talk about “dual loyalty”. A “true believer” Moslem believes in ISLAM first, then the country they live in, unless it is in the “land of the unbeliever”. Then they can do a “taqqiya” lie about their loyalty to their country, all the while supporting Islamic expansion, Sharia Law, Female Genital Mutilation, slavery, and women as second class citizens. Oh, I left out, killing homosexuals.
Let’s ask Omar to who is her FIRST loyalty as an American citizen and how that relates to her loyalty to Islam. That should turn out to be the most convoluted answer in the history of American politics.
Secondly, ask her about her views on homosexuality and what should be done to them if “she is a true Moslem believer”.
That will win the Dems a lot of votes!!!
