The top House Republican compared the comments from the two Muslim women in Congress to the firestorm over the racially charged remarks of GOP Rep. Steve King.

He needs to call all members to.the house chamber and make it crystal clear, and call out OMAR specifically.

To equate white supremacists with people protesting a government's treatment of others is ugly. So called news media need to stop suggesting there is balance.

I find it extraordinary that republicans and current president will not call out right wing Nazis killing Americans as not being acceptable but are happy to make a foreign policy criticism out as being anti-anti-Semitic. The hypocrisy is blantly palpable and 1984.

Tell Rep MCarthy that deflection, mis-characterization doesn't become him as GOP has become =with the party that condones racism+ anti-immigration zealotry + Evangelicals who are anti-LGBTQ rights. Racist faction like White Supremacists are also Anti-Semitics. He needs mirror.

You let the President lie, cheat and steal you turned a blind eye to that! But now are after two Democratic’s. Republicians need medicationCrazy

The won't be sincere if the do.

It's all about the Armageddon

As Israeli it's shameful how GOP& far-right group (with the criminal Bibi support) use Israel as excuses to cover they ass from bad policies. Bds is useful idiots campaign in college, who wants boycott 🇮🇱 but most of them consume & use Israel technologies in daily bases.

'We are against the Israeli government killing people and stealing land' 'You hate Jews' The jump in that response is not logical at all. This response is a joke; they don't REALLY care about anti-Semitism. Arabs are Semitic people, FYI dumbasses.

Anti-israel is not anti-Semitic everyone needs to stop conflating these brooklynismyhomeland

Dems call it when they see it

Thank you!

Are we really going to have to tolerate this 'everything including the kitchen sink' gotcha slander from GOP and its pathetic desperadoes in congress for the next two years? All the sound and fury signifying nothing?

Great timing, Steve! Just as one of your party's propaganda arms goes with a Hitler was fine in German borders message.

😂😂😂

Being against Israeli policy is not anti-semitic. Next.

It's incredibly dishonest and divisive to pretend there's no difference between anti-Semitism and opposing specific policies of Israel's government. McCarthy is a disgrace.

I do not approve of all of Israel’s policies that does NOT make me anti Semitic. I believe all people deserve equal decent treatment, even Palestinians.

Maybe he should check with the GOP supporters who marched on Charlottesville chanting 'Jews will not replace us'

Interesting “challenge” coming from the GOP.

Having significant issues with Israeli policy is not anti-Semitism. Those equating the two for cheap political points and to shift focus from their own parties growing racism issues is disgusting.

If you’re going to cover every one of these ridiculous stunts, it’s going to be a long next decade

Im all about Jewish..but Im also about respecting other FAITHS..the GOP is all about BIBLICAL RAPTURE..thats cult like crap.

Speaking out against State of Isreal policy is NOT anti-Semitic. It’d be like saying anyone who speaks out against India’s nuclear program is Anti-Hindu.

Anything to avoid actually doing something.

'Alleged' shame on the Washington Post for participating in anti-Semitism.

Hope they know the overwhelming majority of Jews in the US don't believe these RW'ers feelings for Jews. Most of em r motivated by the Rapture story and the role Jews will play in it.That's why they love Israel. Few Jews plan 2 pack for Israel so that they can rise to heaven.

AOC will NEVER do this

Alternative Headline: 'House Democrats refuse to denounce anti-Semistism'

I’m having a hard time understanding why criticism of a country’s policy would reflect on their religion? It’s asinine to assume the criticism is about their religion. Is Israel above reproach because of the country’s dominant religion?

Move along ... nothing to see here.

He can start first

I am Jewish and I don’t need a bigoted bunch of GOP toadies to pretend they care about my people

Anti Israeli govt is NOT the same as being Anti Jewish individuals

Did the GOP ? How did we miss that🤔

The GOP are a mob of racists themselves. The nerve.

Is this a joke? McCarthy’s campaign ads during the 2018 election cycle were incredibly anti-Semitic.

What a hypocrite.

My god, the hypocrisy from republicans is breathtaking.
