Nancy Pelosi Defends Freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar Against Charges Of Anti-Semitism

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar didn’t realize her words about Israel would sound anti-Semitic to some members of Congress. Omar’s comment that a pledge of “allegiance” to the Jewish state is expected of lawmakers split Democrats. Pelosi told reporters the resolution the House will vote on Thursday will “speak out against anti-Semitism, anti-Islamophobia, anti-white supremacy and all the forms that it takes.”
