(Hill) Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday lauded the House’s passage of a measure broadly condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred.
The measure was passed amid flaring tensions over comments made by Omar that had been widely criticized as anti-Semitic.
“Our nation is having a difficult conversation, but we believe this is great progress,” Omar tweeted, alongside a joint statement with fellow Muslim lawmakers Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.).
“We are tremendously proud to be part of a body that has put forth a condemnation of all forms of bigotry including anti-Semitism, racism and white supremacy,” the representatives wrote in a statement. “Our nation is having a difficult conversation and we believe this is great progress.”
