Progressives defend Omar, prompting House Dems to delay vote condemning anti-Semitism
Fox News ^ | 06 MARCH 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

A House vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, following recent comments by U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has been delayed, as Democrats scramble to rewrite the motion to include all forms of prejudice and progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come to the defense of their embattled colleague.

The declaration – which doesn’t mention Omar by name – was initially set to be introduced Wednesday. It was to set out the history of anti-Semitism and other bigotry in America and provide examples of anti-Jewish tropes about divided loyalties.

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

The resolution effort came after Omar – for at least the second time in recent months – ignited an uproar for echoing anti-Semitic tropes.

In February, she suggested on Twitter that supporters of Israel have been bought, and that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) contributes to pro-Israel politicians despite the fact that the group does not make campaign contributions. The congresswoman then accused American supporters of Israel of pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

I’m surprised the Democrats didn’t put her on the House Intel Committee.

This is fodder for 2020, if we can get the word out.

“Progressives” liberals don’t know who they are. They have: progressives, centrists, moderates, Leftism/Radicalism Liberalism, etc etc .... they need to define themselves whereas conservatives are, well, conservative.

Progressives/Democrats never want to hint that there’s disarray in their ranks or that one of their members has done anything wrong. Republicans, on the other hand, gush all over criticism and apologize all the time to Democrats for upsetting them.

That’s coming. She is going to either be a US Senator or the Governor of that state, one day. As soon as the Somalian population in Minneapolis gets big enough, with the help of all the liberals that are guilt ridden and want to champion diversity, she will be elected to the US Senate or Governors office. There will be muslims in all sorts of state offices and they will elect a Governor or US Senator, soon. If the Dem’s try to do anything to her, Minneapolis will burn. Someone suggested she be primaried. Her district is all somalian’s, who is going to primary her?

Only person that would stand a chance is someone more anti-American and anti-semitic than she is.

They almost had one in Michigan. 32yr old, Egyptian-American(as he’s described) doctor. Very obama-ish, as he’s being touted. I think the Dem machine told him to wait his turn.

Our elected representatives have kept the door wide open and allowed the foxes into the hen house.

Sadly I think Liberal American Jews will continue to vote Democrat no matter how this turns out.

How can they support Omar? She is supposedly married to her own brother.
