Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday called on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and party members to remedy “a sad and bizarre situation” and pass bipartisan legislation opposing anti-Semitism and condemning economic efforts to boycott Israel.<\/p>\n
“Elected members of the Democratic Party are openly urging their leadership not to make them vote on condemning anti-Semitism,” McConnell, R-Ky., said in Senate floor remarks. “Because for some reason, it is just too tough a vote.<\/p>\n
“What a sad and bizarre situation we find in the House.<\/p>\n
“I urge the distinguished Speaker of the House to do the right thing,” the majority leader added. “Don\u2019t let these far-left voices run the House.”<\/p>\n
In February, the Senate approved bipartisan anti-Semitism legislation that included a provision slamming the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting the Jewish State.<\/p>\n
The House has not voted on the bill, though in March it passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and other bigotry following comments by freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., suggesting that House backers of Israel had dual allegiances.<\/p>\n
Pelosi, D-Calif., has not allowed the Senate bill, which passed with 77 votes, to come up for a vote.<\/p>\n
“Let them vote,” McConnell demanded. “I bet we’d see a pretty good outcome \u2014 and show anti-Semitism the door.”<\/p>\n
