Earlier today, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to rip anti-Semitism and the House Democrats whom he feels are doing a lackluster job at condemning it.
A Closer Look at the President’s Condemnation of Anti-Semitism
This afternoon, Trump called out anti-Semitism in the following tweet:
It is shameful that House Democrats won’t take a stronger stand against Anti-Semitism in their conference. Anti-Semitism has fueled atrocities throughout history and it’s inconceivable they will not act to condemn it!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2019
The president’s statements come as House Democrats debate over the fate of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Omar landed in the political doghouse last month following anti-Semitic tweets. The newly elected congresswoman suggested that various politicians were being paid off by Jewish people and Israeli groups. Omar issued an apology following the bipartisan backlash, but not everyone is convinced. Some Americans have called for her removal from the Foreign Relations Committee.
