House Democrats erupt in protests over indirect sanction of Rep. Omar for alleged anti-Semitism

House Democrats erupted into a full-scale brawl Wednesday, challenging leaders over indirectly sanctioning freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar for alleged anti-Semitic remarks amid an outcry over party inaction to President Trump’s divisive comments on race.

In a closed-door session, Democrats protested plans to vote this week on a resolution condemning religious hatred, a measure prompted by Omar’s comments last week suggesting supporters of Israel have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

The remarks have exploded into a larger debate over how Congress should respond to individual racial and religious grievances. It also touched off Democratic concerns that the splintering was overshadowing the newfound majority’s agenda, with Republicans seeking to capi­tal­ize politically on the divide.

Dunno. Try traveling with an Israeli passport sometime.

It’s a close call, but I think we are grappling you for the bottom slot.

And yet, their schizophrenia is such, that they continue to deny they are “anti-Semitic”, pointing to the fact that “some of their best friends are (fill in the blank)”, while projecting the most vile and repulsive insults at the targeted object of hatred.

Happens to blacks, happens to Jews, happens to Native Americans, happens to Orientals, happens to Latinos. Depends on what OTHER demographic they are trying to woo votes and support from.

Most democrats hate G-d. They denied Him three times at their Charlotte convention.

The rest of the democrats don’t know about G-d, but worship Gaia.

Omar was wrong to say Jewish politicians have dual loyalty to Israel and America. All these bottom feeding hacks have loyalty to themselves and no one else. There is a full scale invasion on southern border that both parties are actively trying to prevent the president from stopping but we are all suppose to stop dead in our tracks because some towel head insulted a foreign country.

Here we go, it's no longer about a particular antisemitic muslim democrat, now it's about generic racial and religious concerns. Pretty soon it will turn into a censorship of Steve King and they'll move on until Omar spouts some more "I hate jooz" crap and they'll have to do damage control once again by finding someone else to focus on.

Omar’s comments last week suggesting supporters of Israel have “allegiance to a foreign country.”...

Wait till she finds out I still am in contact with family from Italy!!!

I should be hung!! :)

Is she also saying the people who donate financially to programs in Africa to help folks have allegiance to Africa?

Especially if they don’t donate to causes in the US!!!!

She’s an idiot

What Democrats are against is hate, prejudice, bigotry, white supremacy, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism.
We're strongly against anti-Semitism, but we're strongly against prejudice directed at any group.”
— House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

.......that is to say, unless you vote Democrat, you'll get no sympathy from this raging cult of tolerant and compassionate idiots........
