“They have disarray in their own conference,” said Minority Whip Steve Scalise during a pen and pad. “Ultimately, we’ve been very clear that Speaker Pelosi has the full power and authority to take action on her own. And she should. But she hasn’t.”
The vote has been delayed indefinitely, and leaders are now scrambling to retool the resolution to make it more broad and appeal to more members. That’s why Republicans think their best strategy is to just let Democrats tear each other apart over the issue. And the GOP’s options are limited in the minority anyway: they likely can’t use procedural tools on the election reform bill to punish Omar, because it wouldn’t be germane. And forcing a vote on a censure resolution rebuking Omar could spark a nasty tit-for-tat with Democrats.
In response to Trump why hasn’t one Democrat or reporter said that there are nine Jews in the Senate (all democrats) and 27 in the house (25 democrats)
Good idea. Let’s see how Islamic anti-Semitism sells!
Political abortion?
No one is holding their breath, as we all saw how the Liberals treated The Black face Virginian governor or the sexual assault accusations for the lieutenant governor. Imagine if they were conservative.
Bs
As they, the republicans did nothing about Steve King. Republicans whine but that’s all they are good for. GOP
Politico is truly just shitty reporting. Completely not objective. Fox News Jr
Well, Republican politicians don't hate Jewish people, don't wear 'blackface', don't rape women....What is with the Democrat Party?
They must be thanking their gods for this gift from heavens. This is a break for them from having to defend their President.
Who can blame them? I mean the Dims have never wasted an opportunity to immolate themselves.
She’s a sitting Congresswoman and is speaking for her constituents. It’s how it works.
let’s watch it all burn to the ground.
Seen one party, seen ‘em all.
The opposition to the firestorm is even stronger!
Nancy will take care of the Omar situation if it’s a problem. She’s the adult in the room and can handle whatever... this is not her first rodeo and Omar, if she’s smart, better start listening if she’s ever going to be taken seriously.
I wish she had not self inflicted these wounds at a time when we have huge battles to fight.
Nice try. What she has said and will say won’t approach Steve King, Individual 1, and others who’ve continually slandered the US intelligence community, non-white or non-Christian Americans or refugees.
The GOP Congress members are expert at sitting back and doing nothing
They handled their bigot by stripping him off committee assignments and now are sitting back wondering why the Dems aren’t doing the same
The louder this debate the better.
Democrats are not struggling. Conservative talking point
There’s really no “growing firestorm” other than what the MSM is trying to create.
I’m trying to remember, did Politico articles ever make any sense? Like a long time ago, didn’t they have some grounding in reality?
Democrats are not state sponsors of a terrorist supporter. Good job DNC.
What is this? The 5th or 6th such story Politico has run TODAY ALONE.
Politico is Republican under the veil
Great reporting on Yemen genocide, Republicans acting as dictator trump's fixers, how Mark Meadows isn't a racist birther, Trump's hit list on activists and journalist and outwardly racist Steve King. Yeah, I missed those important stories from you.
GarbageNews You’re better than this Politico.
If you're scurrying around as if your hair were on fire. That brings a lot of attention to yourself. Maybe if they would've been more subtle and not denounce, berating her at the top of their lungs. They'd possibly could've downplayed it with more finesse.
Ahhh the tired “Democrats in Disarray” stories. Yawn
Guess Politico has become a right wing punditry outlet.
damian_godden Yawn
I'm sure this will sink 2020..great reporting lol .. have you written a Jim Jordan or Steve King article or are you to wrapped up in the female freshman's words of how and congressman are bought and paid for by AIPAC ?
Oh ok Politico. Let those angry white male congressional republicans just sit back. Maybe they’ll all walk back to Russia.
Time for our Jewish community WAKE UP & JEXIT from TheDemocrats party ... We are against Infanticide AntiSemitism Anti_Israel, Hate & Division ... AM YISRAEL CHAI !!! 🇮🇱🇺🇸 JEXIT
Did Hear a Amen to that !
It appears Democrats are in a self destruct mode. They have turned on the State of Israel, threatening their richest core group who not only are their biggest political donators they are owners and operators of 95% of MSM. Ilhan Omar needs to go from Foreign Affair Committee.
Good plan.

Case 19PO2585-4 DeKalb county Georgia courthouse order not real by angry fake bmf not real judge over stepping her bounds jfk
Politico trying to stir some flames!
As an anti-semite she will slip up again and again.
Kind of like Mueller in reverse!
BresPolitico Steve King. That is all.
America needs to understand what IlhanMN represents. It is the same failed multiculturalism that has plagued & is destroying Europe. People that came to US , not to assimilate and be American but to set up camps of their own embedded in America w their bias, hate & intolerance
Steve King.
Yup. Republicans pushed the right Democratic buttons then made popcorn to watch the implosion. Pelosi blew it on this one. She should have known better. She’s been the at the center of republicans egging on a democratic civil war over her.
Just me but I’m thinking this will not end well, if it ever ends. 😂
There is no struggle and no damage being inflicted. The GOP is exponentially more racist than the Democrats. It’s just that many minorities don’t have the power and money of the corrupt Israeli lobby.
There is no firestorm. There are a bunch of hypocrites shrieking to distract their slack jawed base from the fact that the walls are closing in on Trump. Criticizing Israel--anti-Semitic Actual Nazism, white supremacists--fine people.
Simple Censure King, Meadows and Omar in one resolution for bigotry
The Ds can't condemn her. That's why they're trying to muddy the issue with lots of 'whataboutism'. This is the new D party. The base is antisemitc and they can't offend that base.
SpeakerPelosi get this under control; giving GOP an offensive advantage - pathetic
Rep. Omar's statements have been offensive. How hard is it to say they were wrong? How hard is to say that Rep. McCarthy should have been roundly criticized for his prior tweets and that his statements now are rank hypocrisy?
gee. its almost as if the GOP thinks that not a single one of them has ever made an anti semitic or racist remark
And Steve King?
