Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a feeble resolution to condemn anti-Semitism after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) made several anti-Semitic comments. Before being overwhelmingly passed, the resolution was delayed to allow for additional condemnations of more forms of biogtry than just anti-Semitism. Linda Sarsour, a leader of the Women’s March who has also been frequently accused of peddling anti-Semitism, took credit for the change in language.
“So many of you know that our sister, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was under attack,” Sarsour said. “And you know, being able to mobilize progressive leaders across the country to sign on to a letter to organize a press conference in support of Ilhan Omar, to call on the Democratic leadership to actually expand the language of the resolution to include condemning all forms of bigotry because that’s the kind of movement we are a part of.”
