esterday, the House of Representatives voted to pass an even more meaningless version of an already toothless bill that was originally intended to address anti-Semitic comments made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

Ultimately, 23 Republicans voted against the measure. Before and after the vote, several spoke out against the bill’s watered-down language and failure to mention Omar by name.

“Today’s resolution vote was a sham put forward by Democrats to avoid condemning one of their own and denouncing vile anti-Semitism,” reads a press release from House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney, Wyo. “While I stand whole heartedly against discrimination outlined in this resolution, the language before the House today did not address the issue that is front and center.”

Cheney was the highest-ranking member of House Republican leadership to vote against the resolution.

Omar will be the gift that keeps giving. Her common sense will continue to be overwhelmed by her hatred and stupidity.

Agree. I don't want to shut up any of the three witch sisters AOC, Tlaib, or Omar. They are the gold standard of Dem poster children.

Between Breitbart and 100% Fed up, I saw an article somewhere that Dems were already trying to find an alternate candidate to run against her.

I also saw this related to OP.

THINGS GET UGLY On The House Floor When Jewish Rep. Zeldin Goes Scorched Earth On Anti-Semite Ilhan Omar And Dems Who Support Her
Mar 8, 2019

Radical Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to unashamedly support her fellow freshman Democrat anti-Semitic U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar.

Yesterday, 23 Republicans refused to vote “yes” on a sham House resolution that was originally intended to censure Muslim lawmaker Ilhan Omar for her numerous anti-Semitic remarks. The reason they voted against the resolution, “condemning hate,” is because Democrat lawmakers rephrased the resolution so it wouldn’t focus on the anti-Semitism of one of their own members. Instead, the resolution called out hate against Hispanics and gays.

Even the Pope today, has some statement condemning "anti-semitism".

VATICAN CITY —

Pope Francis on Friday branded anti-Semitism part of a wave of "depraved hatred" sweeping some countries and urged everyone to be vigilant against it.

In comments to members of the American Jewish Committee during a visit to the Vatican, he also reiterated that it was sinful for Christians to hold anti-Semitic sentiments because they shared a heritage with Jews.
So, addressing an American Jewish Committee.
