Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) slammed House Democrats on Thursday over a "sham" House resolution vote condemning hate, saying that the vote avoided condemning Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MN) anti-Semitic remarks.
"Today’s resolution vote was a sham put forward by Democrats to avoid condemning one of their own and denouncing vile anti-Semitism," Cheney wrote in a statement provided to The Daily Wire. "While I stand whole heartedly against discrimination outlined in this resolution, the language before the House today did not address the issue that is front and center."
"After several days of infighting and a near-rebellion by rank-and-file Democrats, as well as a major last-minute revision, the House on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan resolution that only indirectly condemned Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's repeated 'anti-Semitic' and 'pernicious' comments -- without mentioning her by name," Fox News reported. "The final vote was 407 to 23, with 23 Republicans voting no, and all Democrats voting yes. Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King, who faced his own bipartisan blowback for comments purportedly defending white nationalists, voted present."

Omar later released a press statement calling the resolution "historic," as if it was a win for her, and did not apologize for her statements.
"Today is historic on many fronts," Omar said. "It’s the first time we have voted on a resolution condemning Anti-Muslim bigotry in our nation’s history. Anti-Muslim crimes have increased 99% from 2014-2016 and are still on the rise."

And this, folks, says it all.
Best substantiated claims of lib anti-semitism - struck down
Utterly made-up claims of Repub anti-semitism - career ending
Says a lot about how seriously such claims need to be taken
If Pelosi had told her Jewish lobby to STFU, this would have been in and out of the news in a single day.
Instead it’s been front page for a week, and now the entire party looks anti-Semitic (which they are, but most folks don’t know it).
The proper spelling for “stupid” is: P E L O S I.

*************
It WAS a win for her. Unfortunately, it will only encourage her to step up her viscous racial attacks.
The GOP is a bunch of weak appeasers. They bark and howl a lot but they never bite. And the Dems know it.
Jewish organizations should pressure the Dems, like Rahm Emmanuel said, its totally Jew hatred.
50 years Jews have volunteered, voted for Dems and funded them with billions and billions of dollars.
Jews should tell Dems if this is their show of gratitude
for 50 years of loyalty, don’t bother us in the future.
Time for Jews to unite, only 43% if Dems support Israel versus 76% if Republicans who support Israel.
Socialist don’t support Jews.
The Dem’s lame resolution will embolden 0mar to make even more outrageous statements ... each one worse than the last ... as the clock ticks down to the 2020 election ...
I’m having trouble finding anything about that that upsets me.
All you “GOOD” Democrats. This is your party.
Proud of them?
Well, they DISGUST me!!
Gotta be nice to the Muslim Brotherhood types.
they need to dump her a## in the streets of somalia
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Democrats don’t surrender. Republicans cave.
I know the Israelis are in large part smarter than this. But the Jewish US population is not quite as tuned in to the enemy’s they face. They support a party that would march their asses onto cattle cars again. It just amazes my dumb arse how the hell they think. Dems disrespect to American Jews is front and center. I wonder sometimes why I care.
Antisemitic act is spun into a resolution to attack jews who would criticize islam. Islamofascist leftism is real. Mussolini started as a rabid warmongering leftist, how things have changed...
hell- they protected the grand wizard of kkk robert byrd for how many years?
My niece, at her Bat Mitzvah, declared there is no G-d. The audience politely clapped.
Jews in America are leftists, not religious, mainly.
If you're going to declare there's no God at a Bat Mitzvah, then its a Not Mitzvah IMO. Was she confused and thought she was going to a coming of age ceremony for atheists?
Our soldiers marched in to liberate German extermination camps in 1945. Then to watch this manure it’s hard. As they say “How soon we forget” and “it is to weep”. The deplorables won’t board cattle cars. There will be a reckoning.
..... and neither will the real Jews who live in Israel... secular American Jews dance around the golden calf, protected by righteous Christians... like the idol worshippers that God punished in the Kingdom of Judah..... true believing Christians and true believing Jews must stick together in the face of apostates
If mankind bows to Islam because it is too snowflaked to call Islam a vile ideology the west will fall..it is already starting to lay down..
God will not let live that which is against Israel and Christianity
now play nice as the behead us..just say it, free speech and yes hate speech, since when do folks not have a right to hate?
I hate Islam, I hate illegal immigration, I hate our weak on the take gangstamint that only lies, is this free speech, no more it is called hate speech to be honest...
stand up or perish America, they use our freedoms against us
