Democrats Ducking Vote on Rejecting Anti-Semitism

New class of Democrats pushing the party to fringe, anti-Semitic causes

Democratic leaders are remaining quiet about a new congressional measure that rejects anti-Semitism and chides a new class of Democratic congressional members for the open embrace of notorious anti-Semites and anti-Israel causes, according to the leading Republican author of that new measure.

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), one of just two Jewish Republicans in Congress, has introduced a new congressional resolution in the House that categorically rejects anti-Semitism in all its forms and calls out some newly elected Democratic members who have ridden a popular wave into Congress on the backs of anti-Semitic leaders and causes, Zeldin told theWashington Free Beacon in a wide-ranging interview.

While a similar House resolution condemning white supremacy sailed to a nearly unanimous vote several weeks ago, Zeldin's amendment, focused directly on anti-Semitism, has put Democratic leaders in a precarious position as they are forced to reject the views of popular new freshman colleagues.

"It's up to the Democrats to decide whether or not they are actually going to confront this head on," Zeldin told the Free Beacon. "I'm wiling to work with any Democratic colleague on any idea he or she has to crush anti-Semitism in any form. But I can't do that for them."

I don't like Pelosi or "Schemer," but even they aren't as crazy as these wackos.

Democrats blame Jews for most of the problems in the world,that will never pass or even get looked at.

Democrats have historically been anti-semitic, racist, socialist, communist, anti-American family values. Always follow the money. Long time Democratic politicians have gotten very wealthy while ripping off the public.

When this democratic conglomeration voted against "white supremacy", they mean all white peoples. Be very clear on that. The white "democrats" so hate themselves that they use identity politics to self identify as non-whites. That is more important to them than to identify as Americans. And if you are a white, American, then you are to be despised, torn down in any way possible. The coming political conflict has so many facets that there will likely be strange alliances.
