Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar refused to address questions on Wednesday about accusations she’s anti-Semitic in light of the drama over a planned resolution on Capitol Hill condemning bigotry. Omar ignored the question, as well as others about whether she would support the House resolution condemning anti-Semitism that has been delayed because of disagreement among Democrats over its language. DEM LEADERS SLAM BRAKES ON OMAR REBUKE, ATTACK TRUMPThe resolution originated after Omar – for at least the second time in recent months – ignited an uproar for echoing anti-Semitic tropes. “There are ongoing discussions with all the stakeholders within the House Democratic caucus about the appropriate way to proceed,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said Wednesday. 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.
