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.\u00a0The latest resolution comes in direct response to comments Omar made last month suggesting that some Jewish students involved in the college protests 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>The censure effort also comes nearly six months 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>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=\"noreferrer noopener\"><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 Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) said last week. \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 clear when the resolution may reach the floor, as Bacon did not file the measure as privileged, meaning a vote will not be forced in the coming days.
