‘Words matter’

EXCERPT:

LIEBERMAN: “Yeah. Something specifically was done towards him. Incidentally, congresswoman Omar’s statements clearly do not represent the thinking of almost anybody else in office in the Democratic Party. But if they start to mumble in response to her specific and clear anti-Semitic statement, then the party itself is going to be held more broadly accountable for having similar feelings which I know they don’t. So again, I say, this is a moment of testing, moral testing. Speak clearly about it, make it clear to the congresswoman that she went over the line and it’s unacceptable. And you make it clear to the next person who's thinking about expressing some other kind of bigotry that it’s not going to be tolerated.”
