Asked by reporters Wednesday about the resolution and whether Omar should lose her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee because of repeated comments viewed as anti-Semitic, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, pivoted to Trump. He also ripped into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for suggesting there is a rise in controversial remarks among House Democratic freshmen like Omar, accusing Trump of “hateful” comments. “When has he ever said anything about that?”He added: “Let me just generally say: there’s not a rise of anti-Semitism in the House of Representatives. “There are ongoing discussions with all the stakeholders within the House Democratic caucus about the appropriate way to proceed,” Jeffries said Wednesday. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters it hasn’t been decided there will be a vote this week.
