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."

Remember Hilliary’s outburst: “Fu**ing Jew Bastard!” She and the rest of the Democrat Party elite hate Jews. That’s why this ‘resolution’ is a big problem..................

I can’t wait to watch the continued interface between the Muslim wing, the LGBTQ wing and the Jewish wing of the Democrat party.

Black Caucus, who remembers them?

They’ll start wondering what happened to all the attention they used to get very soon.

Democrats denied God three times in their last convention. Now they fall into immediate bickering and dispute when asked to say anti-semitism is wrong and rush to defend a socialist, incestuous, terrorist sympathizing Somali.

I have heard that most Jews that live in America don’t support Israel. Please correct me if this is fake news or a fake poll.

Is there some reason these Jackwagons on BOTH sides of the aisle can’t concentrate on REAL problems?

I mean, this is fine - FOR LATER - when we have a balanced budget, have BUILT THE WALL, have stopped ALL immigration for a reset, stop killing our offspring, reduce our National Debt, CONVICT Hilary, etc.

So annoying! @#$%^&*!

Yes. the only reason there is debate about the anti-semitic comments of Omar within the Demonrat party is that they don’t want to lose the Jewish vote. They could care less about the fact that Omar and others are openly anti-Jewish. The rest are also. Deep seated racism is their character. Even those Dems who are Jewish themselves. It’s all about power.

No kidding. I’d rather see them hurting themselves than us.

When the 9/11 hijakers flew jets into the towers, pentagon, and ground, they didn’t do it intentionally. The joos made them do it.

Democrats, and a good number of RINOS, do not ever want to solve any problems, at all.

If they did, their base would no longer need them and they would lose their power.

It’s all about the ‘power’.

Get it.
Wield it.
Preserve it.
Keep it.................

Well contrary to what most people in this forum think, I think that until we see American Jews vocally leaving the Democratic party in large numbers, this is all just theater.

And I’ve seen nothing to suggest that is happening.

They’re not pissed about policy.

They’re pissed because they might have to take a stand.

Spot on accurate. Slavery, rebellion, Jim Crow, segregation, KKK, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic. No real changes in their DNA as you say.

However if I am Trump I am waiting to unload on them in the 2020 campaign when they start their racism wailing. They are giving him tons of ammunition. Now it won’t phase the bigots in the RAT party but it will turn many of the independents away from the Party of hate the DemoKKKrats. This is also a chance for Trump to toss out the NeverTrumpers and throw this bunch of backstabbers in with the party of hate which they support.
