House expected to vote on updated anti-Semitism resolution today, after Dem infighting

Debate over how to address her latest remarks has overtaken House Democrats in recent days.

 

A frustrated senior House Democratic aide told Fox News on Tuesday: "Here we are again, fighting with ourselves. I've spent another week dealing with this and not on policy."

 

A vote on the resolution had been originally planned for earlier this week, but stalled over disagreements among Democrats over the language.

 

President Trump, turning to Twitter on Wednesday, highlighted Democrats' troubles getting the resolution passed. He wrote that their failure to "take a stronger stand" against anti-Semitism was "shameful."

 

Fox News has been told that the Democratic caucus is trying to get the language of the proposed anti-Semitism language “right," and that there is concern about mentioning Omar by name -- a non-starter for many members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

 

Two knowledgable sources said such a scenario could increase security threats against Omar, who is a Muslim.
