Thanks to Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Democrats have had their Charlottesville moment. On Thursday, House Democrats botched their condemnation of anti-Semitism as badly as Trump botched his anti-hate comments after Charlottesville. Speaker Pelosi meant well, originally drafting a tough-worded condemnation of anti-Semitism. However, in an odd twist, anti-establishment backbenchers convinced her the condemnation was another “dog whistle” for white supremacists. The resulting consensus-resolution was utter mumbo-jumbo.
