Democrats in the House of Representatives refused to censure Minneota Rep. Ilhan Omar for her repeated use of classic anti-Semitic tropes and other expressions of anti-Jewish thought.
Instead of focusing on Omar’s unrepentant anti-Semitism, Democratic leaders pushed through a bill that criticized all forms of bigotry, including Islamophobia, and failed to mention Omar.
The bill passed overwhelmingly, with some Republicans, including LI Rep. Lee Zeldin, voting no.
