The House is expected to vote Thursday on a resolution"opposing hate" as Democrats try to move past a controversy over remarks by freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar that deeply split the party and clouded their agenda.
The move was in part intended to resolve a divide that opened after Omar, D-Minn., made comments about Israel that were seen as anti-Semitic. A Muslim-American, she has been critical of the Jewish state in the past. "This shouldn't be so hard," said Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., the lead author of a draft resolution to condemn anti-Semitism that did not mention Omar by name.The abrupt turn of events come as Democratic leaders try to quickly fend off a challenge from Republicans on the issue.
