Rep. Raskin on Why Rep. Omar’s Not Named in the Resolution: ‘We Didn’t Name Donald Trump’ Either

‘We didn’t call out Donald Trump by name, despite his statements about Charlottesville’

EXCERPT:

CABRERA: “But 23 Republicans did vote against the resolution, and their reasoning, as I summarized it, is that it was too watered down, didn’t call out a Representative Omar by name. Again, you are one of the lead co-authors, why didn’t you call out Omar by name?”
RASKIN: “We didn’t call out Omar by name, we didn’t call out Donald Trump by name, despite his statements about Charlottesville, despite that TV ad which still has not been denounced by members of his own party, which targeted Jewish Americans for a charge of essentially dual loyalty or opposition to the American people. The president should apologize for that now that he’s entered into a debate about anti-Semitism.”
