Resolution Against Anti-Semitism Delayed Because Dems Want it Expanded to Include This...
The House was supposed to vote on a resolution on Tuesday to condemn
resolution in light of Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) string of anti-Semitic
comments. Instead, some of the more progressive members of Congress are
pushing for a vote delay.It turns out that some Democrats refuse to consider the resolution until it is expanded to include language that condemns anti-Muslim bias as well. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly capitulated.UPDATE: Vote on resolution condemning anti-Semitism may be pushed back. Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Progressive Caucus pressing for a delay. https://t.co/EyV8Xm1v0p— Sheryl Gay Stolberg (@SherylNYT) March 5, 2019
