Why Some Republicans Voted against the ‘Anti-Hate’ Resolution  

By John McCormack

March 8, 2019 8:47 AM

Has the controversy surrounding Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic comments actually turned into an embarrassing scandal for Republicans? In some quarters of the media, the answer to that question is a resounding “yes.”
That bit of conventional wisdom began to congeal as soon as the House passed an “anti-hate” resolution Thursday night. The resolution didn’t mention Omar by name and broadly condemned many types of bigotry — anti-Semitism as well as Islamophobia and white-supremacist persecution of “African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and others.” Some House Democrats like Ted Deutch of Florida and Eliot Engel of New York joined Republicans in disagreeing with House Democratic leaders who, under internal pressure, turned the resolution into a broad condemnation of almost all forms of bigotry rather than a resolution solely focused on anti-Semitism.

But in the end, every Democrat voted for the measure, while 23 Republicans voted against it. And that was the real story of the day, according to some.
“House Democrats have been under pressure for a week on anti-semitism but House Republicans have bailed them out,”  tweeted Politico’s Jake Sherman. “An embarrassing moment for house gop.”
“This is going to be hard to explain,”  tweeted  Michael Barbaro of the New York Times.

Jennifer Rubin of the  Washington Post  wrote in an article that Republicans like Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Lee Zeldin of New York, who voted against the measure, had “snatched back the mantle of racial and religious insensitivity, announcing to the world that they couldn’t possibly be against both anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.”
 
What’s odd, or perhaps  not so odd, is that Rubin doesn’t include a single quotation from any Republican explaining why he or she voted against the measure.
Here’s how Cheney explained her vote in a statement:

"Today’s resolution vote was a sham put forward by Democrats to avoid condemning one of their own and denouncing vile anti-Semitism.
While I stand whole heartedly against discrimination outlined in this resolution, the language before the House today did not address the issue that is front and center.
Rep. Omar’s comments were wrong and she has proven multiple times that she embodies a vile, hate-filled, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel bigotry. She deserves to be rebuked, by name, and removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee so that there is no mistake about the values and priorities that the House stands for.
For Democratic leadership to kowtow to their radical members and refuse to offer legislative language that criticizes Rep. Omar’s statements in the strongest possible manner confirms what we already knew: that their party is controlled by far-left extremists who can’t even muster the courage to stand up to blatant anti-Semitism."


This is a sad day for the House and Democrats’ lack of action is fully responsible for bringing us to this unfortunate moment.
Lee Zeldin made many of the same points in a floor speech. He also noted that, following Iowa Republican Steve King’s comments about white nationalism in January, Republicans stripped King of his committee assignments, and the whole House passed a resolution naming King and specifically condemning white nationalism. At the time, Cheney said King should resign from Congress.

You might still disagree with how Zeldin and Cheney voted, but after reading and listening to their explanations it’s hard to see how anyone could think their opposition to the resolution — not the defenses of Omar made by  Nancy Pelosi,  Jim Clyburn, and  2020 Democrats; nor Omar’s anti-Semitism itself — is the real scandal here.


Keep it up, Dems, keep it up.
You keep it up too, you lying media fucks.
You're fooling no one with this nonsense (except, of course, the ever-gullible Liberals).

Fox News’ Brit Hume Calls Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ‘Adorable’ and ‘Like a 5-Year-Old’

Jon Levine
The Wrap
March 6, 2019

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume doesn’t think much of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, telling Fox viewers Tuesday evening that he found the 29-year-old New York Democrat “adorable” in much the same way he might find a “5-year-old.” “She makes news. She’s kind of compelling. She’s kind of adorable, as sort of in the way that a 5-year-old child can be adorable,” Hume told Tucker Carlson, with the show host nodding in agreement.

……...


Well, somebody had to say it.

Ruh, roh!!!!
How soon before the liberals take little Ilhan to the woodshed over this?
I mean, she can say anything she wants about those nasty little Jewboys, with their gutter religion and their plot to take over the world with their Jew money.
But when you dis Da Messiah, a line has been crossed, and it's time for heads to roll.
You is in big, big trouble, girlfriend.

Omar throws shade at Obama: 'We don't want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished'

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is an outspoken critic of President Trump. But she’s also critical of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.
“We can’t be only upset with Trump,” Omar told Politico for a profile that was published Friday. “His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was.
“That’s not what we should be looking for anymore,” she continued. “We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”
Omar, a Muslim and a Somali refugee who wears Islamic dress in public, noted the “caging of kids” at the U.S.-Mexico border and the “droning of countries around the world” — for which Trump has been criticized — happened on Obama’s watch too. Obama’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.
Obama was widely criticized for expanding the use of armed drones, authorizing at least 542 strikes during his presidency that caused an estimated 3,797 deaths, including 324 civilians, according to data from the Council on Foreign Relations.
Yet Trump’s drone program was even more active than Obama’s in his first two years as commander in chief. According to U.S. government data released last November, Trump authorized 238 drone strikes in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, compared with 186 authorized by Obama during his first two years in office.
It’s unclear how many civilians were killed in drone strikes authorized by Trump. On Wednesday, Trump revoked an Obama-era order that required the intelligence community to publicly report the number of CIA drone strikes outside of war zones and the number of civilians killed by them.
And Trump has been harshly criticized on both sides of the aisle for his administration’s zero tolerance illegal immigration policy that has resulted in thousands of children being separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. Many of the children separated from their families were held in detention centers. In one such facility, hundreds of children were seen in a series of enclosures made of metal fencing, which have also been characterized as cages.
During the Bush and Obama administrations, immigrants caught crossing the border with children were largely treated as civil rather than criminal cases. Under Obama, parents were removed from their children if they were arrested on other charges or had an outstanding warrant — resulting in some children being held in detention centers. But the number of such cases was small compared to the number under Trump.
Meanwhile, Omar has come under fire for comments that critics construed as anti-Semitic. On Thursday, the House passed a broad resolution condemning hate that originated from her remarks.

Sanders and Harris: We Should Restore the Boston Marathon Bomber’s Voting Rights
By Jim Geraghty

April 23, 2019 10:07 AM

The Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston/Handout via Reuters)
During last night’s CNN town halls, Bernie Sanders endorsed reinstating the voting rights of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, and Kamala Harris indicated that she was open to the idea.
Anne Carlstein, a junior at Harvard, asked Sanders, “You have said that you believe that people with felony records should be allowed to vote while in prison. Does this mean that you would support enfranchising people like the Boston Marathon bomber, a convicted terrorist and murderer? Do you think that those convicted of sexual assault should have the opportunity to vote for politicians who could have a direct impact on women’s rights?”
Sanders responded:


SANDERS: So here is — Anne, to answer your question, as it happens, in my own state of Vermont, from the very first days of our state’s history, what our Constitution says is that everybody can vote.  That is true.  So people in jail can vote.
Now, here is my view.  If somebody commits a serious crime, sexual assault, murder, they’re going to be punished.  They may be in jail for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives.  That’s what happens when you commit a serious crime.
But I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy, yes, even for terrible people, because once you start chipping away and you say, well, that guy committed a terrible crime, not going to let him vote.  Oh, that person did that, not going to let that person vote.  You’re running down a slippery slope.
So I believe that people commit crimes, they paid the price.  When they get out of jail, I believe they certainly should have the right to vote.  But I do believe that even if they are in jail they’re paying their price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.

……...


LEMON:  Another issue that I want to talk to you about — this is really important — I’m not sure if you were watching earlier, but Senator Bernie Sanders said that he is in favor of felons being able to vote while serving in prison.  He was asked specifically about people like the Boston Marathon bomber, also people who are convicted of sexual assault.  And he said, this is a quote, “The right to vote is inherent to our democracy, yes, even for terrible people.”  Do you agree with that, Senator?
HARRIS:  I agree that the right to vote is one of the very important components of citizenship and it is something that people should not be stripped of needlessly, which is why I have been long an advocate of making sure that the formally incarcerated are not denied a right to vote, which is the case in so many states in our country, in some states permanently deprived of the right to vote.
And these are policies that go back to Jim Crow.  These are policies that go back to the heart of policies that have been about disenfranchisement, policies that continue until today, and we need to take it seriously.
LEMON:  But people who are in — convicted, in prison, like the Boston Marathon bomber, on death row, people who are convicted of sexual assault, they should be able to vote?  

HARRIS:  I think we should have that conversation.


She really wants to get rid of that “tough prosecutor” image, doesn’t she?
There are many injustices in this world. The fact that the Boston Marathon bomber cannot vote is not one of them. This monster put his bomb down right next to an eight-year-old boy and walked away. Three people were killed in the bombing and 264 people were wounded, with 16 people losing limbs. Separately the bombers ambushed an MIT police officer and killed him, and a Boston Police officer died as a result of injuries sustained during the shootout in Watertown.
One of the underappreciated aspects of the 2020 primary is how many contenders have spent their lives in very liberal communities and states and have never had to calibrate their stances and rhetoric to appeal to voters in a place like Ohio, or Florida, or Pennsylvania. Kamala Harris had to appeal to voters in San Francisco and then California as a whole; Bernie Sanders had to appeal to voters in Burlington and Vermont. I suspect “restore the Boston Marathon bomber’s voting rights” would not be a popular rallying cry in much of the country.
