House Dems postpone vote rebuking Omar amid pressure from left

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday that the vote would now likely happen Thursday and be updated to include language rejecting anti-Muslim bias.“People are working through the draft. Not everyone has seen the draft,” said Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries . “I support the notion that we need to respond and we’re figuring out the appropriate way to respond.

The resolution is being taken up after senior Democrats, including some prominent Jewish lawmakers like Reps. Eliot Engel and Nita Lowey of New York, have publicly criticized Omar and demanded she apologize. But an array of prominent liberal allies like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and outside progressive groups have rallied to the Minnesota Democrat's defense.

Liberals had pushed for language condemning Islamophobia after Omar was recently targeted in a poster displayed at an event sponsored by the West Virginia GOP, which appeared to link her to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The poster included a photo of the World Trade Center buildings on fire and a photo of the freshman Democrat below it.

Pelosi and Omar spoke over the weekend as staffers for Pelosi and other top Democrats began crafting the resolution.

Lol, gotta ask why and how have the Demoncrats become so depraved, that condemning this behavior is such a problem. There should be no hestation! DepravedDemocrats Demoncrats BabyKillers Communists

She said nothing anti-Semitic

The party full of Antisemitism is the Democrats DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

And here we have the truth about the Democrat Party. It is run by CAIR and the Nation of Islam.

Keep the pressure on. Let them know that any House Dem supporting Islamaphobia and anti-black racism *will* be primaried next year, and the ones who survive will have their leadership positions and committees assignments stripped. CALL 👏 YOUR 👏 REP 👏 NOW

This is a shameful thing yes. However it’s great for us in 2020 when we the people can vote them all out of office and keep Trump in office. So keep it up Dems. The country is watching you.

They have to vote on and pass this, they cannot let her radical anti American views stand

Shameful! This is still and always will be a Judeo-Christian society, established for the glory of the most high God to protect and harbor the chosen Jewish people after the Spainish Inquisition & to be an example of freedom & liberty! What have we been teaching the kids?

The fact that the democrats cannot find the votes to condemn antisemitism is a loudly ringing alarm bell. Perhaps they should rename the party the 'National Socialists'.

GOLLUM GOLLUM....

Netanyahu is an indicted corrupt US hack. Just bc IlhanMN pointed that out doesn't mean she's anti-semetic. It's disgusting to watch the US Political Establishment on both sides of the isle attack her just bc she condemned the genocide in Palestine. Why is that?

Interesting that everyone is quick to condemn what she said, yet no one is denying what she said as untrue. 🤔
