Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) finds herself facing a renewed wave of opposition as House Republicans prepared a second censure resolution on Tuesday over anti-Semitic remarks. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) initiated the resolution in response to Omar’s comments at Columbia University, where she referred to Jewish students as “pro-genocide.”
This comes as a series of criticisms aimed at Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, over her rhetoric surrounding Israel and Jewish people. The four-page resolution aims to reprimand Omar for her “recent hateful comments and history of antisemitism.”
“She is perpetuating and increasing antisemitism in our country,” Bacon said after submitting the resolution. “The House of Representatives needs to take a strong stand and condemn these divisive and racist remarks that she has made, and those who continue to excuse her egregious behavior must stop.”
