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."

The Democrat Muslim Party wants pedophilia, wants hurting young girls and boys, cutting girls, bagging women’s heads, burning cars, no go zones. The New Democrats want these violent activities.

The Leaders must concede.

Proof positive that the Democratic Party is anti-Semitic.

How long will the majority of Jewish people continue to support this party?

Anyone who despises racism should abandon the Democratic Party.

These young communists are too radical to do anything that makes political sense. The truth is that all mainstream democrats hate Israel but they lie about it, claim to support the PLO and Israel at the same time. They do this because for some jews Israel is important. Let's face it, for a lot of them leftism is the most important and they'll vote dem no matter what. But for some, maybe some who matter, it's a deal breaker.

But radicals don't care. AOC wants to primary anyone who's not a commie, Ilhan Omar wants to spout something just a hair short of "death to Israel" and neither can be controlled.

The "Blue Wave" they wished for came to the house and is drowning them!

Her position is now a strictly ceremonial position. She has no power at all.

I’m loving this! Since this is getting a lot of MSM propagandist play and it’s really out there maybe, just maybe this will open the eyes of my fellow American-Jews. It’ll be interesting to see if they, like those in Germany prior to Hitlers rise will also support the new Socialist Party. Socialized medicine (know where all the Jews are) and anti-2nd amendment (population gun confiscation) policies of their beloved Dem party have not so we’ll see.

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

It was just a Typo

Like the original AOC "Green Revolution Bill"....just a Typo

And that $800,000 transfer...."Just a Typo"

That's a good thing for the country. If They're fighting each other, they're not screwing us with their socalist agenda.

We keep hoping that the people moving to our country will adopt our ways.

It’s just not working.

They’ve taken over the Democrat Party, and they’re trying to fragment and destroy our country.

Word to the Democrat Party.....

Clean up your mess.

You don’t want us to clean it up for you.

I don’t disagree. This latest brew up independent of Allah Obama is on the shoulders of Nancy Pelosi. I think calling it the American Muslim Party is beginning to be very appropriate and accurate.

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

Nope. The sooner the better. PDJT has taught us to flip the game on them. Call them the Muslim Party, let them denounce that (they won’t) and the rest of America is horrified. If they do denounce it (shockingly) they look anti-Muslim to their co-exist bumper sticker base. Win/Win

Nail. On. The. Head.

I advised my beloved when this first came up that Pelosi has lost the control of the House because of fear of the Muslims.

The Democrats seem to not like the bed they made during the 2018 elections. Seems to be a bit lumpy for them.

I do not see any Resolution coming out of this at all.

Well, there may be one: A resolution against Anti-Muslim speech.

May they be tongue-tied and ripped asunder from within their own party!
