(Washington, D.C.) -- A Nebraska congressman has introduced a motion to censure Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for an alleged "history of antisemitism."
The motion by Republican Congressman Don Bacon cites comments made by Omar during a visit to Columbia University last month. Asked about antisemitism on campus, Omar reportedly said that Jewish students should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry "whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide."
A spokesperson for the Minneapolis Democrat said Omar has "clearly condemned antisemitism" and that the resolution is an attempt to "distract from the ongoing violence and genocide occurring in Gaza."
