After a week of brutal infighting over how to best respond to allegations of anti-Semitism, Democrats on Thursday presented a compromise that seemed unlikely to offend anyone: a resolution condemning bigotry and "hateful expressions of intolerance."

It’s also a shame that after 9/11 that muslims can be elected to Congress.

Slow motion surrender.

One of the additional content articles dipslayed the headline:

///// 10 Things You Didn’t Know Queen Singer Did

It showed a photograph of Freddy Mercury.

I scanned the headline and thought it read:

///// 10 Things You Didn’t Know Queer Singer Did

As others have noted, this resolution had about as much meaning as a resolution declaring that puppies are cute.

I more upset that more republicans didn’t vote against it

Any member of Congress who votes for ANY of these pointless virtue-signalling resolutions is wasting the taxpayers’ time and money.

The answer to the title is simple. The rest of the Republicans didn’t have the cojones to vote against the Democrat sham.
