REPUBLICANS BLAST DEMS’ ANTI-SEMITISM RESOLUTION AS 'SHAM’:After several days of infighting and a near-rebellion by rank-and-file Democrats, as well as a major last-minute revision, the House on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan resolution that only indirectly condemns U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's repeated 'anti-Semitic' and 'pernicious' comments -- without mentioning the Minnesota Democrat by name. But opposing Republicans blasted the measure as a "watered down" sham, saying Democrats wanted to avoid condemning one of their own.
The final vote was 407-23, with 23 Republicans voting no, and all Democrats, including Omar, voting yes. But the freshman congresswoman did not avoid another controversy for very long. Meghan McCain, co-host of "The View" had become emotional during the ABC talk show, discussing Omar's recent criticisms of Israel and its supporters. She said Omar's remarks were hurtful to many of her Jewish friends. But instead of responding directly to McCain, Omar retweeted a post that criticized McCain for "faux outrage" and referred to past statements attributed to McCain's late father, U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who died last August at age 81.
