Ilhan Omar, not Nancy Pelosi, is the future of the Democrat Party. The longstanding antisemitism of the Left has now been validated and accepted as mainstream. Expect much, much more of it to come, from Omar and others.
“Democrats retreat from anti-Semitism resolution after backlash,” Associated Press, March 7, 2019:
House Democrats on Wednesday postponed indefinitely a vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism after a contentious meeting in which some new members confronted leaders over their push to rebuke Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
In the party’s weekly closed meeting, Democrats protested the way Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders tried to rush out a resolution this week responding to Omar’s latest remark about Israel. Omar last week suggested the Jewish state’s supporters are pushing lawmakers to pledge “allegiance” to a foreign country.
That forced Democratic leaders to respond, but their draft of the resolution condemning anti-Semitism angered Omar’s fellow freshmen and their liberal supporters. Pelosi had already said the measure would be broadened to decry anti-Muslim bias. But that didn’t quiet the ranks, and the party’s first major dissension broke out in an uncomfortable confrontation, according to three officials familiar with the episode, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private matters.
The upheaval prompted Democrats, who regularly celebrate their diversity, to push off a decision about the resolution.
“It is shameful that House Democrats won’t take a stronger stand against Anti-Semitism in their conference,” President Donald Trump tweeted. “Anti-Semitism has fueled atrocities throughout history and it’s inconceivable they will not act to condemn it!”
“My comments were about the process we are using when concerns arise,” Hayes said in a statement. “As a member of Congress I should not get important information from cable news.”
Two people with knowledge of the situation said Hayes was engaged in conversation with a colleague when Pelosi asked her a question. The congresswoman did not respond because she did not hear the speaker address her, these people say. Most lawmakers had left the room at the time.
Then Pelosi said, “If you’re not going to listen to me, I’m done talking,” according to a person in the room.
A senior Democratic aide said Pelosi had earlier acknowledged the issues and said the resolution was not final. One person in the room quoted the speaker as saying the leaders had tried to increase communication so that members stay united and have “a clearer understanding of what our purpose is as a caucus, how we proceed.”
Some Democrats hugged Omar, one of two Muslim women in Congress, during the meeting, according to other officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. She’s also received powerful boosts from fellow Democratic freshmen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan….
There was also dissension among the Democrats on whether a resolution condemning anti-Semitism was even necessary, given that the House voted on a similar measure already.
“I’m not sure we need to continue to do this every single time,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the co-chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus….
Don McKellar says
I think AOC is going to have something to say about who is the “leader” and the future. It’s very clear that Pelosi has already blew it not even three months into her second chance in majority. She’s in a dementia death spiral with the Young Pioneers of AOC and their comrades and favoured “victims” the Islamic Supremacists stomping right on over her to a glorious New Green Deal future. After the smoke clears and Nancy is in a sanitarium somewhere, AOC and Omar will have a death match to see who comes out on top of the dung heap.
Westman says
What a team, eh? AOC wants living-scale benefits for the “unwilling to work”(her words) and Omar wants to invite in the Umma to use those benefits and try to end the defense of Israel. Perhaps Tlaib could become Speaker, then she could teach f-bombs to all of America’s children. How can a political party claim to take the “high road” and then use gutter language?

Belonging to a supremacist death cult will do that to a person.

The Three Puppeteers. What a blessing to the GOP in 2020. And the democrat party leadership trembling in fear that they might have to do pruning while not sure if they are the branch or the trunk.

Brian hoff…. read Milton Friedman or Ken Fisher on Trade Imbalance..
I’ve got a nasty trade imbalance with my local grocery and bank…. The bank adds deposits to my checking account and the grocery debits my VISA account and then the bank pays the VISA balance every month out of my checking account!
You and many other folks don’t understand how ‘trade imbalance dollars’ keep circulating and get back from country to country. The dollars don’t “pile up” and stagnate.
But hey, Donald doesn’t understand that, either, apparently.
AnneM04031959 says
The Dems just handed President Trump a second term.

When has there ever been another time with new House members being the driving force…being the ones to set the tone…to make the decisions or to have so many important decisions made in their favor?
Usually, a new rep has to “earn” a standing, has no power of which to speak or use…has no important “seat” on any important committee. Many is the time “powerful representative” comes before the name of someone who has been in Congress for decades, has sat on many committees, earned a reputation, etc..
However, these three women…all loud of mouth, and excuse me for being repetitive…double ugly…are all saying stupid and evil things and others are praising and/or defending them for saying the stupid and evil things. These three seem to have been granted a lot of power…unusual power for newly elected reps.
“Fear of man lays a snare (Proverbs 29).” King Solomon might have included “fear of the anger of moslims” if there had been such a thing as a moslim…which moslims claim to have been the case….
pelosi and others are afraid of these three loud mouth women because of the fact that so much has been given over to those who are loud of mouth and to those who represent islam and its evil rage combined with murder, rape and mayhem.
pelosi and the others have laid a trap for themselves, have allowed these three to lay traps for them in which they have now been caught.
Barbara says
Totally agree! Also House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) is an absolute COWARD – one who should have been loudly and proudly rebuking Ilhan Omar!!!
When has any Jew spewed such vile hatred towards Muslim whilst being a sitting MP???
It is historically PROVEN that ISLAM is the most OPPRESSIVE Political Ideology; Islam still indulges in SLAVERY and Sharia Law has formally been condemned as Incompatible with Human Rights by the ECLJ in January 2019!

So true, Somehistory–usually new members of Congress watch and learn.
But the idea that aggressive callow morons have the moral high ground has been an unquestioned Leftist trope for so long, and now we are seeing the ugly fruit of such an absurd idea.

Regardless of its title, and its purported genesis, this resolution has never been about antisemitism.
This resolution is and has always been about islamic conquest, and the implementation of sharia law into American government and Governmental policy.
With the addendum / earmark of specific language addressing “islamophobia”, sane and patriotic lawmakers who recognize this resolution for what it really is -a “Trojan horse” which slips in sharia blasphemy law under the cover of antisemitism- and dare oppose it or refuse to sign it, will soon be subject to being branded a “far-right anitsemitic bigot” for doing so, and by the very antisemites (the true antisemites in Congress and their Democrat apologists) who initially generated the need for such a resolution /condemnation.
Dhimmocrats will again be able to grasp the mantle of heroic “anti-bigotry activists” and defenders of Jews whom they work so hard to against on a daily basis, through their efforts to weaken and destroy Israel.
This resolution is a big deal, because it represents a big win for the global islamic jihad.
This is about silencing critics of islam, and getting the ball rolling to criminalize “islamophobia”.
Ilhan is the agent who is slipping this poison pill into the system. Pelosi and Co. are just the useful idiots who are facilitating her to do so.
After the resolution goes up for a vote, it will be official.
Everyone should contact their representatives and urge them to oppose this resolution.
Kay says
I did. But it didn’t do any good.
The resolution should have been a censure of Omar. There hasn’t been any other unaddressed “bigotry” in the Congress.
But now those 2 will claim any disagreement with them is “Islamophobia.”
I hope they are voted out soon— but I’m guessing they have big money backers.

Ilhan Omar says Jews are guilty of Dual Loyalty – Praise God for the Jews!!
Omar is guilty of DISLOYALTY to America and has only one loyalty to OPPRESS all non-Muslims in the name of Islam and the false god Allah!!
Demsci says
Why can’t anyone ask her where her own highest loyalties lie? To Islamic or to Democratic tenets when the 2 contradict?
For instance; is she in favor of freedom of speech, even when Mohammed is insulted? How about autonomy of the individual (men AND women), elected government over Caliphate, Separation of Mosque and state, rule of national law over religious law?
How does she compare the behavior of USA government with that of Islamic countries. I mean, is she consistent in all her criticism on USA government and on other governments in the world. Or does she ignore all those other governments or does she use wildly double standards?
Maybe she will turn out to be the showcase of the incompatibility of Islam and democratic theory & practice.
Charles Ross says
You can’t expose their hypocrisy because that proves you are islamophobic which we all should realize as Hitchens said:
“Islamophobia was created by fascists and is used by cowards to control morons”.
gravenimage says
Good point, Barbara and Demsci.
Demsci says
To me it seems that Omar only suggests that Jewish Americans, through AIPAC and surreptitiously, manipulate American politicians to support other Jews, in this case Israel. As in Jews helping fellow Jews. But not necessarily Co-religionists, as only a minority of American and Israeli Jews are orthodox religious. In my understanding a majority of Jews are rather secular or even totally secular.
But how can this be compared with how Muslims help other Muslims? That can’t be on the basis of an ethici group here and abroad helping each other. It much more is about the religious connection of all Muslims with all other Muslims. And only or primarily that.
Demsci says
Ethnic group.
Savvy Kafir says
I’m sure this was a pretty easy call for the Dems. For PC Lefties, Muslims outrank everyone else on the victimhood hierarchy, and therefore are a protected class, no matter how outrageous (or savage, or lethal) their behavior may be.

‘Celebrating Diversity’ usually means ‘affirming inclusivity’ which usually means ‘rejecting discrimination’, which usually means accepting just about anything, which eventually means you’ve got no standards left. So we sink into the proverbial cesspit.
J D.S says
As president Trump stated ..”the democratic party has become an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish party”…Well maybe they have always been that way but Ms Omar has brought them to the forefront. Just more help to get President Trump get re-elected….way to go dems keep it up…Bernie is helping too. Is he a democrat?

IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, call up your Senator and Congress Rep and tell them you are only voting Republican.
elee says
(1) She has deployed the ancient “foreign-allegiance” trope against the Jews of America. What comes next, the time-honored Blood Libel? The Protocols of the Elders of Zion? Mein Kampf? Force-feeding these to the populace is standard practise of governments where the slaves of Allah rule. If you think she and her ilk wouldn’t try to foist these things on us, consider that she appears in public on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was a Nazi front from its inception;
(2) She proclaims her allegiance to a foreign scheme of world domination, one which is diametrically opposed to every aspiration—-inclusivity, toleration, freedom of conscience—that have made our country the best hope of the world. We haven’t been infallible, but we’ve aspired, and she proclaims her allegiance to the opposite of all our best aspirations. See the photo on another thread here of her throwing the Muslim forefinger salute;
(3) If you agree, even if you just think somebody ought to look into this, demand that your Congressional delegates investigate this woman’s allegiances. It should have been done before Congress accepted her as a Member. Well, better late than never….
Mark Berlinger says
Ha Ha Islamophobia
Islamophobia, the phony mental disorder created by the Muslim Brotherhood, is being used by Congressional Democrats to provide cover for their blatant anti-Israel rhetoric!

Barbara, g, & Lauren Hermann,
Thank you all, and I’m glad I could provide a little humor with the truth.
infidel says
Expect this pest of an Islamic Trojan to whip up more venom and diatribe against Non Muslims and totally drive the agenda of the Dems. She has wormed herself like any Muslim to the most powerful innermost circle of the Dems like Huma Abedin did with Clinton. Huma in fact decided what Hilary should say or not say or do or not do or wear or not wear.
