House Dems’ Civil War 🇮🇱

Extreme House Democrats just refused to denounce the “the drastic rise of Antisemism.” That should come as no surprise, considering Antisemitism rose dramatically within their ranks this year. 

The kicker? Hakeem Jeffries promised to spend to defend his Antisemitic members from primary challengers.

NRCC National Press Secretary Will Reinert said:  “Hakeem Jeffries emboldened his caucus’ most extreme Antisemitic tendencies at every opportunity. His failed leadership fueled House Democrats’ civil war over supporting Israel and led to today’s vote outcome.”

Background:

• Democratic members rallied around Jeffries after his comments resurfaced defending an Antisemite.
• Rashida Tlaib defended the Antisemitic genocidal “river to the sea”chant.
• Rashida Tlaib belongs to a Facebook group that “glamorized Hamas in its war battle with Israel after the terror group attacked and killed hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians.”
• House Democratic leadership called it “unfortunate” that former Speaker McCarthy canceled Rashida Tlaib’s Antisemitic Congressional event.
• Ilhan Omar flexed her Antisemitic bonafides, saying there is “no way in hell” she’ll attend the President of Israel’s speech to Congress. Then, seeing no consequences from Democratic leadership, Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & Rashida Tlaib followed suit.
• The entire caucus defended Ilhan Omar’s Antisemitism when she faced removal from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
• Pramila Jayapal called Israel a “racist state.”
• Now, Pramila Jayapal is under fire for seeming to believe Hamas raping Israeli women and girls was acceptable because it was targeted toward Jews.
