Rank-and-file Dems revolt against Pelosi over resolution to condemn anti-Semitism
FOX News ^ | 03/06/2019 | By Gregg Re

Posted on 03/07/2019 8:07:07 AM PST by Red Badger

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is "taken aback" by the growing dissent and anger among rank-and-file Democrats over a possible resolution to formally condemn anti-Semitism, a Democratic source told Fox News on Wednesday -- highlighting Pelosi's tenuous grip on control over the House and underscoring the growing power of the party's nascent far-left progressive wing.

Pelosi even reportedly walked out of a meeting Wednesday with Democrat House members, setting down her microphone and telling attendees, “Well if you're not going to listen to me, I’m done talking."

The stalled resolution originated after freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, for at least the second time in recent months, ignited an uproar for echoing tropes critics have deemed anti-Semitic. In February, she suggested on Twitter that supporters of Israel have been bought. The congresswoman then accused American supporters of Israel of pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

Omar -- who also tweeted in 2012 that "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel" -- refused to address questions on Wednesday about accusations that she’s anti-Semitic.

Meanwhile, debate over how to address her latest remarks has overtaken House Democrats in recent days.

A frustrated senior House Democratic aide told Fox News on Tuesday: "Here we are again, fighting with ourselves. I've spent another week dealing with this and not on policy."

Is it too soon to start calling it the “Muslim Party?”

Democrats have a long history of being racists. It’s part of their DNA.

The dems are imploding, and a lot of us saw this coming. I mean, a LOT of us. It wasn’t hard.

It reminds me a little of the french revolution. First they won. Then they beheaded the leaders they were fighting. Then they beheaded their own leaders, etc. And so it goes.

She’ll be sorry she came back for more.

Just imagine the MSM reaction if a similar revolt happened in the Republican party.

Wow, Now just today that idiot Bela Pelosi said that it wan’t an intentional insult, I guess it was just incidental.

Somewhat like a drive-by insult!

The latest buzz: With the fires of losing the House burning around her, WRT rag-head Omar’s controversial comments Pelosi was at her wit's end about what to do.
She was observed huddled w/ the Congressional Black Caucus know-nothings like Jim Clyburn, (gag) Sheila Jackson Lee, Karen Bass and Barbara Lee —
to try to determine what resolution the CBC would back that rejected Omar’s remarks about Israel without unfairly singling her out.

========================================

Lookit how proud Nancy is of the creepy, evil-eyed, rag-head.
Pelosi obediently put the rag-head on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.....
bowing to Omar's specific request to serve on the F/A Committee.

DEMOCRATS FALL DEEPER INTO ISLAM'S "WE HATE-AMERICA" PIT.

Nancy brought the faces of the new Democrat party to a Rolling Stone photo shoot.
