Omar uproar swamps Pelosi

The task of rewriting the resolution has now fallen to House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, the first Democrat to publicly rip Omar’s latest remark.

Democratic sources said some Jewish lawmakers, including Rep. Ted Deutch , were upset by leadership’s decision to expand the resolution to address all kinds of hate speech, which they felt watered down the repudiation of Omar’s comments. “We were just having a good discussion about the need for a powerful statement condemning anti-Semitism,” he told POLITICO. “That’s really all I’m focused on.”

Pelosi and her deputies have also faced a backlash from their rank and file, with lawmakers complaining they felt blindsided as the resolution was crafted and released without a single caucuswide email or conference call. Part of the challenge, other lawmakers say, is that a new generation of Democrats has arrived in Washington that eschews the top-down style of leadership that has defined House politics for decades.

SpeakerPelosi Do it in private, appear with her in public for a joint statement, (letting Repubs know to clean their own house) then move on & refuse to discuss it further. You are doing a great job & this is a distraction being kept alive for by Repubs for political gain.

Calling out Israel for crimes against humanity is not antisemitism. It's calling out Israel for crimes against humanity. AIPAC is complacent in those crimes and so are US politicos on Capitol Hill.

Nancy just needs to follow these people around with a pooper scooper. We have nothing more important going on anyways. IlhanMN

Maybe she and Mark Meadows can sit in a room together for detention.

Crisis? Sensationalizing much?

Pelosi's rambling rationale for the anti-Semite's comments, that ALL of US say were blatantly anti-Semitic, was shameful! 'She didn't understand' insults our intelligence. The Easy Solution is to Name the Resolution after The Judenhasser & Remove her from Foreign Relations. 🇺🇸🇮🇱
