As Twitchy told you, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with other Democratic House leaders, released a statement denouncing Rep. Ilhan Omar’s most recent anti-Semitic remarks as “deeply offensive”:
In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms. https://t.co/UpZA3DNgQs pic.twitter.com/1Z6rH65e3M

It’s refreshing to see House Dems (at least some of them) start to call Omar out as the anti-Semite she is. Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean much if there aren’t any real consequences for her actions.

Oh, I'm glad that your anti-Semitic House Foreign Affairs Committee member has decided to combat anti-Semitism in all of its forms. You know what one form would be? Resigning. Another form? You dumping her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. https://t.co/4PUGVORtX5

Recall that at least the Republicans pulled Steve King's committee assignments. You jackals are promoting an open anti-Semite in the most cynical fashion. https://t.co/HHwGHQJKDP

So the admonishment is meaningless. https://t.co/K7yKTu3YDZ

And if they’re satisfied with Omar’s insincere — not to mention anti-Semitic apology — we probably shouldn’t expect them to come down on her much harder.
Rep. King was rightfully stripped of his committee assignments….I assume the Pelosi presser announcing Rep. Omar is being stripped of her committee assignments is coming out any minute now, right? #DontHoldYourBreath

Maybe they’re waiting until after Omar shares a stage with a rabid anti-Semite and terrorist sympathizer.
