A House resolution that was first intended to condemn anti-Semitism is still being expanded. But some critics are outraged that it doesn’t address the lawmaker accused of making hateful comments.
— A House resolution that was first intended to condemn anti-Semitism is still being expanded.
But some critics are outraged that it doesn’t address the lawmaker accused of making hateful comments, CBS2’s Dick Brennan reported Thursday.
The resolution in its latest form says it is “condemning anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance…” and also “…condemning anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities.”
The resolution was originally intended to rebuke Rep. Ilhan Omar, who’s made repeated comments that many consider anti-Semitic, including one last week.
“I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” the Minnesota Democrat said.
