Bacon\u200b is \u2063expected to \u200cintroduce \u200ba resolution\u2064 soon, targeting Omar&#8217;s\u2064 comments. \u200cThis follows previous censure threats against \u200dOmar, including for \u200dher\u2062 statements on\u2062 Somalia.

The text has not yet been finalized for the resolution, although it\u2019s likely to include Omar\u2019s latest comments as well as past statements regarding Israel, according to a source familiar. <\/p>\n<p>Omar has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2831090\/ilhan-omar-faces-censure-resolution-from-marjorie-taylor-greene-over-somalia-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>previously faced<\/a> censure threats, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filing a similar resolution over statements related to Somalia. However, that resolution never made it to the floor for a vote. <\/p>\n<p>The latest censure resolution comes in direct response to comments Omar made last week suggesting that some Jewish students at Columbia University were \u201cpro-genocide.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is really unfortunate that people don\u2019t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe,\u201d Omar said. \u201cWe should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they\u2019re pro-genocide or anti-genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That statement, Bacon argued, amounted to antisemitic speech. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFolks can protest Israel, but don\u2019t blame Jewish American students for Israel,\u201d Bacon told Axios. \u201cThat is by definition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/antisemitism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>antisemitism<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The censure effort also comes nearly six months ago after fellow \u201cSquad\u201d member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was censured over pro-Palestinian comments and use of the phrase \u201cfrom the river to the sea,\u201d referring to the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River that includes Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. That phrase has prompted widespread backlash from several lawmakers, who pointed to the slogan\u2019s adoption by the Hamas terrorist group to advocate the destruction of Israel<\/p>\n<p>Omar\u2019s comments came as she was visiting student encampments at Columbia University, at which her daughter is a student protester. The statement has garnered widespread criticism, with House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Mike-Johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) calling the language \u201cdetestable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s on exactly the wrong side of the issue,\u201d Johnson said, adding that he hasn\u2019t spoken with Bacon about his proposed resolution. <\/p>\n<p>House Democratic leaders also responded to Omar\u2019s comments but stopped short of saying whether they\u2019d support a motion to rebuke her publicly. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not the language I would have chosen; it\u2019s not something I would have said,\u201d said Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA). \u201cWe all have an obligation to turn the temperature down, especially when we\u2019re in those positions where people are listening to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not yet clear when the resolution may reach the floor, and Bacon has not yet indicated what his timeline may be.
