The No. 3 House Republican defended her vote against last week’s anti-hate resolution. A House Democrat said of those who opposed the measure, “History is going to judge them very harshly for that.”
By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 10 at 1:37 PM Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday that House Democrats were trying to protect Rep. Ilhan Omar with last week’s resolution broadly denouncing hate, as a Democratic co-author of the measure pushed back, arguing that “history is going to judge” those who voted against it.
In an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” Cheney described the House resolution as “clearly an effort to actually protect Ilhan Omar, to cover up her bigotry and anti-Semitism by refusing to name her.” Rep. Jamie B. Raskin , one of the resolution’s lead sponsors, pushed back in an interview on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon. He called the measure the most powerful anti-Semitism resolution “in the history of the United States Congress” and argued that those who opposed it were wrong to do so.He went on to take aim at President Trump for his campaign’s closing TV ad during the 2016 race.
