Republican Congressman Don Bacon is moving to censure Ilhan Omar today for her disgusting comments claiming that Jewish students are ‘pro-genocide’.
When Omar was visiting the pro-Hamas encampments at Columbia, she said “I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe. We should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they’re pro-genocide or anti-genocide.”
Here’s the news:
Rep. Bacon will introduce his resolution to censure Rep. Omar later today, he confirms to me

Rep. Don Bacon confirms he’s introducing his resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar, but says he’s not noticing it privileged (i.e. forcing it to a vote).

This is just a censure so it’s not a super big deal, but I am glad that Bacon is moving to do it and I’ll be interested to see if any of the Jewish Democrats vote to censure Omar.
