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.

i dont htink anyone is surprised, i think they’re just rightfully disgusted that an anti-semite islamic operative has been elected to congress of the US and is spouting typical islamic anti-semite language-

[Sarah Barracuda]

Nancy Pelosi just told a reporter on Fox News that he does not believe that Omar’s words were Anti Semetic LOL. Pelosi is terrified the Jew hating Dems will abandon her if she says anything negative about Jihadist Omar

[Bob434]

yeah it’s sick- and the GOP will likely not condemn her either- because now that they are entrenched in our congress- noone dares say anything negative for fear of retaliation-

Sadly, they don’t care. For my Jewish friends, the Democratic Party is the voice of God (except, of course, that they don’t actually believe in God).

Translation. . . . Democrats support antisemitism.

Democrats are:

1. Anti-Capitalist
2. Anti-Newborn Life
3. Anti-White
4. Anti-Jewish
5. Anti-Male
6. Anti-Wealth
7. Anti-Middle America
8. Anti-Jobs
9. Anti-Constitution
10. Anti-Law & Order/Securing Our Border

There's a whole lot more that can easily be added to this list before the 2020 elections and I strongly suggest someone in the Trump Administration keep track. The Democrats just keep giving more and more American's reason to not vote for them.

My oldest son who's now interning with a major three letter law enforcement agency has been anti-Trump having been brainwashed by the college he attends.

Since taking on his internship in law enforcement and not being subject to the daily barrage of anti-Trump dissent at his college campus, he said to me last week when he was home on a five day break "Dad, I see what you've been saying all these years now. Those Democrats are f**king batshit crazy with all these investigations."

I looked at him, smiled and said "Told you so. See, your old man ain't so stupid after all is he?" He admitted I wasn't.

well, bye.

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

There's a video clip of that somewhere. I saw it on YouTube once, that was a few computers ago now and those saved links are long gone ...

“Also, can the Dem’s, in an honest fashion, articulate ‘divisive, racists comments’ made by the President?”

Totally unnecessary to do so. In our brave new world, all that need be done is to make the accusation. Once made, it is trumpeted by the MSN to those who are willing to believe it simply because it was said.

My sister-in-law a Jewish woman from New York and a retired teacher has made it pretty clear she would never vote Republican. I honestly believe that she would vote for a foul-mouthed Muslim over a Republican as long as the Muslim ran as a Democrat.

The Jews in America who vote Democrat have lost all sense of self-preservation. It is truly enlightening and depressing to see how much anti-semitic filth they ignore when it comes from Democrats.

[DungeonMaster]

Same as when they cheered abortion and removing God from somewhere low on their platform.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

It would be awesome to see the GOP defend President Trump like this. But, with minor exception, they are wimps and they will not.

[humbleexpert]

This major brouhaha wouldn’t be happening if the anti-Semitic Ilhan Omar did not have a large number of passionate anti-Semitic supporters in the Democratic House fighting for her and intimidating Nancy Pelosi.

Who are these followers? A large number of them probably come from the Louis Farrakhan wing of the Democratic party, also known as the Congressional Black Caucus.

No wonder the resolution that was supposed to rebuke Ilhan Omar for making anti-Semitic comments has morphed into a diatribe against racism, even though no racist statements have been uttered on the House floor since time immemorial.

And no wonder that the Ilhan Omar wing of the Democratic House is trying to water the resolution down so that the Jewish Wall Street wing of the party doesn’t realize how much they’re hated by the many anti-Jewish Democrats whose campaigns they fund every election season with billions of dollars.

The Dims will not tolerate any criticism of their Jew hating House members.

[Honorary Serb]

Ilhan Omar belongs in Guantanamo—NOT in Congress!!!!

[Blue Highway]

What does Omar think of the Honduran, Guatemalan and Mexican illegal filth being let into our country that are openly showing allegiance to their respective countries over the US? Crickets...

[dp0622]

I wish it was crickets.

She’s THRILLED!!!

And I don’t think it would even hurt her to say it.

After all, we STOLE this country.

Or something.

...for alleged anti-Semitic remarks amid an outcry over party inaction to President Trump’s divisive comments on race.

Omar's remarks aren't alleged, she MADE THE REMARKS, then figured she'd never be called on it again, so she immediately repudiated her fake apology, and has since repeated the tropes again and again. Meanwhile, President Trump's "divisive comments on race" are not quoted, and not described as alleged, because the [redacted characterization] liars at the ComPost are Partisan Media Shills, and the remarks were never made. Thanks C19fan.

Can't blame them, this controversy is upsetting for Rep. Omar. Why can't we all just get along and agree to hate Jews and people supporting Israel. Anyone criticizing the actions of a Muslim as well.

Jews are finding out where they are on the grievance group peaking order. The only group lower on the list are straight, white, and christian men.

The Democrats are a coalition of groups who really don't like each other very well. They could get along, more or less, when they were splitting a growing pie of benefits and entitlements.

But if the pie they need to split ever shrinks, if it comes down to one group having to give up something while another group doesn't, expect the fracture lines to shatter.

Jews vs Muslims and Blacks is one big fracture line. White feminists versus black women, and real women versus transgenders, is another.

The non-white elements of the Democrat Party would be happy to rip it apart, as long as THEY get to rule over what's left.
