Nancy Pelosi Demands Condemnation Of Anti-Semitism, Forgets She Failed To Condemn Anti-Semitism In Congress

Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had harsh words for her colleagues in both the legislative and executive branch of government on Sunday, demanding that they strongly condemn anti-Semitism in the wake of a series of anti-Semitic attacks, culminating in a mass stabbing late Saturday night at a Hanukkah party in suburban New York City.

Strangely, though, Pelosi seems to be struggling with selective amnesia on the subject, having refused, just months ago, to press through a measure condemning anti-Semitism within her own Congressional delegation.

Pelosi tweeted her exhortation Sunday morning, begging President Donald Trump and others to vocally and forcefully admonish anti-Semites and condemn anti-Semitic attacks.

“Heartbroken and deeply disturbed by the stabbing in Monsey and the many recent anti-Semitic attacks in the NY metro area, especially during this holiday season,” Pelosi said. “We must condemn and confront anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry and hate wherever & whenever we see them.”

The president, of course, signed an executive order just last week openly condemning anti-Semitism, particularly the anti-Semitism enshrined in the “boycott, divest, and sanction” movement that wants to see the state of Israel punished for perpetuating an “occupation” of what BDS adherents say is Palestinian territory. The EO defines “Jewish” such that it becomes a protected class under Federal anti-discrimination laws, giving groups greater power to push back on anti-Semitism where it is disguised as “anti-Zionist” rhetoric.

The weekend’s attack, also, does not appear to have been perpetrated by a supporter of President Donald Trump.

There are bigger problems with Pelosi’s sudden interest in condemning anti-Semitism, however — not just a refusal to acknowledge the events of the last six months. Back in March, members of the House — Democrats including Pelosi herself, at least at first — wanted to issue a blanket condemnation of anti-Semitism, distancing themselves from members of their own caucus, notably Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who has a history of anti-Semitic remarks and, in early March at a meeting of Washington, D.C. progressives, repeated a centuries old anti-Semitic smear, accusing legislators who support Israel of having “dual loyalty.”

The remarks met with widespread horror, including from the Anti-Defamation League, and Democratic House members began drafting a measure reaffirming Congress’ support for its ally, Israel, and condemning Omar’s anti-Semitic remarks, along with anti-Semitism as a whole.

Pelosi initially supported the measure, but famously backed down, allowing Omar and others to rewrite the resolution condemning “all hate” instead of just hate directed at the Jewish people. Pelosi also excused Omar’s behavior, claiming that the freshman Democrat had “a different experience in the use of words,” and wasn’t actually accusing her fellow members of Congress of having dual loyalty to the United States and Israel.

The dustup hasn’t slowed Omar, or her colleague in anti-Zionism, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), from continuing to use anti-Semitic language. Tlaib even headlined a conference in Chicago several weeks ago for an openly anti-Semitic organization, and once penned articles for the openly anti-Semitic Nation of Islam’s newsletter. Omar, most recently, took aim at former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg in a tweet with clear anti-Semitic references.

Pelosi has not followed up on her tweet.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
