An Omar spokesperson called the measure 'baseless' and meant to 'distract' from the war in Gaza.
"I actually met a lot of Jewish students who are in the encampment, and I think it is really unfortunate that people don't care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe," the Somali-American lawmaker said.
She added: "We should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide."Rep. Don Bacon said he is working on a censure measure, telling Axios "talking about pro-genocide Jewish students is wrong." "Folks can protest Israel, but don't blame Jewish-American students for Israel. That is by definition anti-Semitism," Bacon said."Congresswoman Omar clearly condemned antisemitism and bigotry for all Jewish students," Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told Axios.
"Attempts to misconstrue her words by drafting this baseless resolution are meant to distract from the ongoing violence and genocide occurring in Gaza and the large antiwar protests happening across our country and around the world."The Minnesotan was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a party-line vote last February overHer removal was one of the House GOP's first actions after it took control of the chamber.
