The Squad’s Noxious Anti-Semitism

In 2019, after public outcry over anti-Semitic remarks made by Rep. Ilhan Omar, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to mete out any consequences to the Democratic "Squad" member. Instead, she and the House Democratic Conference passed a weak resolution condemning any "hateful expressions of intolerance" and including a laundry list of racial and ethnic groups among those who should be protected. Not surprisingly, Omar saw the resolution as a victory. She issued a statement that said, "It's the first time we have voted on a resolution condemning anti-Muslim bigotry in our nation’s history."
