US House to vote on resolution prompted by Omar comment on Israel supporters

It’s expected the U-S House will vote today on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism. It reportedly does not specifically mention Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, but is prompted by her comment accusing backers of Israel of pushing “allegiance to a foreign country.” This morning in Washington D-C, a coalition of groups announces a letter of support for Omar that calls on Democratic Party leaders to equally condemn anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-Black racism, xenophobia and physical threats against any members of Congress. Someone wrote “Assassinate Ilhan Omar” in a men’s bathroom stall at a gas station in Rogers. The Council on American Islamic Relations Minnesota is urging the F-B-I to take the alleged threat seriously.
