In rare vote, House sends a message on anti-Semitism to Ilhan Omar

The House on Wednesday unanimously passed a broad condemnation of anti-Semitism days after Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., received widespread criticism over her comments on Israel.

The language, which does not mention Omar by name, was approved 424-0 using a legislature procedure that lets the minority party make a last-minute motion to change legislation just before it's passed. The procedure almost never works for the minority party, in part because the minority usually tries to make radical changes to the bill that the majority quickly rejects.

On Wednesday, however, Republicans used the so-called "motion to recommit" vote to call for the addition of language to a resolution that states it is in the "national interests of the United States to combat anti-Semitism at home and abroad."

"With an unfortunate rise in anti-Semitism and attempts to delegitimize Israel, the United States House of Representatives must emphasize the importance of combating anti-Semitism and reject all movements that deny Israel’s right to exist," the amendment states.

The sponsor of the language, Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., indicated the language was aimed at Omar, who has been criticized by both parties for comments they say amount to anti-Semitism.

The House sends her a message?  Hoe about they send the bitch packing.

Omar is an unrepentant, defiant hater of everything this country stands for. That "message" means nothing to such a person.

She'll just laugh this off.  After all she's a Somalian married to her brother now sitting on the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Congress of the United States.

I doubt that's really going to do much to put a cork in her mouth.

She'll be right back at it again, before too long.

Simon Weisenthal Center came out saying she should be censured, so if the heavy hitters come out, she may do this stuff again but her name is going to be mud if it isn't already.

Said she should be removed from the committee, this is nothing to sneeze at then.

Hoping she will be gone.

Steven King, Representative Iowa, pushed the envelope for some time, and finally got pushed out of his committee positions.  BTW, he is asking now, to be let in, maybe he learned his lesson. Arguably, Ilhan has said worse.

Obviously she thought she could come in and push her Extremist views.  It isn't uncommon on college campuses either.  It is the ugly head of Islam making its way into every aspect of American life.  We need to pass legislation that makes it clear that there will be no Sharia Law.  In Europe they are allowing these Muslim courts.  Wherever this is allowed it takes control.

King was screwed like a tied up goat in a muslim date for a night group .  Someone should do the same to her.
