The move represents an effort by leaders to move past a controversy over alleged anti-Semitic comments from freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Hoyer told Democrats Thursday morning, as the party tries to move past a controversy over alleged anti-Semitic comments from freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Asked going into the closed-door meeting of House Democrats if there would be a vote this week responding to Omar, Hoyer said, “What I expect to be doing is passing a very significant reform bill with overwhelming Democratic support, perhaps unanimous.” Rep. Josh Gottheimer , who helped draft an initial measure that specifically condemned anti-Semitism, stopped short of endorsing the broader measure.
“I hope it is as advertised, that it is a bill that brings us all together so that we can speak out and let the world know that the Democratic caucus is together against all forms of anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim,” said Rep. Gregory W. Meeks . “It sounded very good to me.” On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell chided House Democratic leaders for not acting more quickly.
