(CNN) The US House of Representatives voted 407-23 to pass a resolution Thursday that broadly condemned hate and intolerance, including anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination. All 23 no votes were from Republicans. House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney of Wyoming called Thursday's vote a "sham" and said the language in the resolution "did not address the issue that is front and center." The resolution followed comments by Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota that critics from both parties labeled anti-Semitic, though the resolution did not reference Omar by name. Omar's office has not returned CNN's requests for comment and she has not commented publicly on the resolution, but the congresswoman has defended herself on Twitter against some of the criticism she has faced over her recent remarks.
