McCarthy pointed to actions that he took to punish King, such as blocking him from committee assignments, and criticized Democratic leaders for being silent about their own members. The text of the resolution mentions Omar by name, citing, among other things, Omar's statement that "Israel has hypnotized the world." House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, a New York Democrat, issued a statement Monday saying Omar had invoked "the anti-Semitic trope of 'Jewish money.'"
