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.”

The declaration – which doesn’t mention Omar by name

However, everyone knows she is the anti-Semite who hates and wants to destroy America.

Little miss somali hitler is just one in an infinite stream of idiots throughout human history who have ignored the fates of all the jew-haters before them. God won’t factor in her ranking on the victim hierarchy when exacting His justice.

I’ll admit I am more than a little surprised at the fear the old guard seems to be showing for the freshman congresscritters. These people have no power but what the MSM gives them. Why have they not been put in their place like others have been? If “Madam Speaker” is so all-powerful, how does AOC end up all over the news every night? A powerful speaker would see to it these uppity beotces were sequestered in a room counting dust bunnies. Apparently “Madam Speaker” ain’t all she thinks she is.

“Let’s see. How can we make this a positive?

‘We condemn your statement!’

No. Seems kind of harsh.

‘We’re not real happy with what you said.’

Still kind of negative.

‘We like you and what you said!’

That’s it! There’s our response!”

Democrat party is dying with many self-inflicted wounds that will shortly, within the next year or two, kill it politically. POTUS, Trump will be re-elected in a landslide victory!!!

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

***************

Enjoyed your comments.

It seems that today’s crop of Democrats rely on notoriety to set themselves apart from their rivals. That means, of course, being more radical/extreme than your opponent. We have gone way beyond identity politics; it has now morphed into politics of hatred and destruction. That becomes their platform.

Typically, not only are they not disciplining her, they are scolding us Deplorables.

Next they will blame the Jews for inciting antisemitism

I agree with you, Trump is likely to win re-election handily.

My concern is for the long-term. The young have been infected with this madness, and we continue to import new Democrats at an astounding rate.

If the Republicans have the balls to bring it up again. Their reluctance to beat Democrats about the head and shoulders with their own words is so damned frustrating. And when they do find the testicular fortitude to bring it up, they’ll find a reason to apologize for doing so.

How many times did you see or hear Obama’s statement of having visited “all 57 states” brought up in any context. They’re afraid of being called racist, Islamophobe, homophobe, anti-(fill in the blank), not accepting the fact that it’s going to happen no matter what they do or don’t say.

Trump may get re-elected but no way it is a landslide. The demographics and culture in this country have changed in very profound ways. If he wins, it will be a narrow victory in my humble opinion.

Yes, by all rights he should be easily elected based on his accomplishments but that is not what many people care about. They want government to take care of them, absolve them of any personal responsibility, and provide lots of things for “free” at the expense of others. That is where we are today. That is what a significant portion of the population wants.

The resolution is simply BS optics for the Jewish vote. The only question is will it work. The Rats get 70-80% of the Jewish vote. This despite the fact the Rats have embraced the muzzies.
In the past the Jews seem to fear evangelical Christians which is crazy. No one is more supportive of Jews then them but it shows the effectiveness of MSM propaganda especially Hollywood.

Well said.

And so, so, so, so true.

It’s what we always say: there’s the Evil Party and the Stupid Party and most Repubs qualify for the latter and all dems qualify for the former.

My father served in the Pacific in WW2. In some respects, I’m glad he is not around to see what the far Left is doing to this country. He loved America and everything it ONCE stood for.
