By Mike DeBonis and Mike DeBonis Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives Email Bio Follow Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow March 6 at 12:06 PM House Democrats erupted into a full-scale brawl Wednesday, challenging leaders over indirectly sanctioning freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar for alleged anti-Semitic remarks amid an outcry over party inaction to President Trump’s divisive comments on race.
Many of those speaking out Wednesday were members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who bristled at the notion that Omar would be targeted for a rebuke — even an indirect one, as Democratic leaders had planned — while lawmakers remain silent about Republican behavior, especially that of Trump. Walking into the meeting, Pelosi said the Omar situation “would be resolved” and lashed out at the news media.
On Wednesday morning, it was unclear whether there was consensus around passing any sort of legislation at all. “We need to have equity in our outrage,” said Rep. Ayanna Pressley , who after the meeting said she was focused on “the occupant of this White House who is seeding every form of hate, emboldening it with racist rhetoric and policies. That is who we all need to be focused on, and this is a distraction.”
Nope not stopping
Trump made an anti-Semitic slur against Dem Rep. Adam 'Shifty' Schiff during the CPAC rally ... and the press and Republicans have said nothing.
I guess AOC really is the boss.
Populism has a character limit
Like anyone is listening to you.
So let's talk about the racism and intolerance of left-wing fruitcakes...
“They should stop empowering her disgusting hatred before it turns into horror,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) Liz_Cheney is a duplicitous politician, whose father profited from terrible situations he'd created in the Iraq War. SuffocationOfDemocracy Hypocrites
“Everyone stop tweeting” said the congresswoman with 1% of AOC followers
WhiteHouse 'Disgraceful and abusive investigation' Sarah screams/Not ever saying a word about Trump's anti-Muslim anti semitism tirade/More lies she tells, more she beams/With pride in shielding GOP hypocrites from truth brigade
This is good news!
I don't think Ilhan Omar is, but I can't imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to think she isn't encouraging anti-semitism but Donald Trump is 🙄
The honeymoon is over?
Omar laid her own bed. She’s a racist
The double standard of the antisemitism in the Democratic party of today is disgusting...
Sanctioning her is the stupidest idea a Dem has ever had.
How hard can it be to ban all racial/ ethnical tropes...end of story!!
I agree
You know, I never did till this year when Trump made the Democrats into devils and I became sick of his mouth. You really can’t tell people not to tweet on Twitter, although if it is hurting the investigation, I will.
Is she talking to Trump?
tbf this is excellent advice for all humans
no
