Rep. Liz Cheney blasts House Democrats' anti-hate resolution: It was an effort to protect Rep. Ilhan Omar
Twenty-three Republicans voted against the House anti-hate resolution, which Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney says was 'completely watered down.'

Ilhan Omar just released a joint statement with Andre Carson and Rashida Tlaib, the two other Muslim representatives in the House, claiming victory after the resolution vote against ‘all hate’ passed the House.
In the statement they praise the historic resolution that condemned bigotry and hate against Muslims:

Notice that she doesn’t even apologize for her own anti-Semitic remarks in the statement. They all just pretend as though she never made these comments, which were the genesis of this resolution in the first place.
If I were a Jewish Democrat like Elliot Engels, I’d be pretty incensed over this. Instead of condemning her anti-Semitism, the resolution was so watered down that she could actually vote for it and then use it like this to claim victory, as if she was the victim in all of this.
Pathetic.
