Summary
After leading Jewish lawmakers pushed for a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, liberals and African-American lawmakers pushed back, insisting that Ms. Omar had been unfairly targeted and that any resolution had to condemn all types of bigotry.“It’s not about her, it’s about these forms of hatred,” Ms. Pelosi said about the resolution.Tensions boiled over in a closed-door meeting of House Democrats on Wednesday that pitted older Jewish Democrats who want a forthright statement condemning anti-Semitism against younger liberals who say the House has been giving Mr. Trump and Republicans a pass for years over bigoted comments far worse than Ms. Omar’s.Among the Republicans who spoke ahead of the vote were Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, who once took a notorious Holocaust denier to a State of the Union address, and Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, who falsely accused Jewish philanthropist George Soros of collaborating with the Nazis.
