Once again, Democrats prove they aren’t serious about the antisemitism that has gripped their party. Eliot Engel was the first Democrat to “call out” Ilhan Omar for her rabid antisemitism. Yet, when given a softball interview by CNN, Engel point blank said he doesn’t want the antisemitism Omar removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. All this proves is that yet again Democrats are only willing to pay lip service to their party’s antisemitism, yet go no furthur than that.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) criticized remarks made by Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and said he isn’t close to removing her from her spot on the committee.
Engel said Omar has made “very troubling” remarks that he hopes she apologizes for and grows out of, but declined to say she’s an anti-Semite, saying he doesn’t “throw names around.”
Engel later stated that while the decision isn’t up to him, he’s “not close” to removing Omar from her committee spot. He continued, “I don’t know that that would do anything except exacerbate the situation even more. I’m looking to get rid of anti-Semitism, not looking to punish anybody.”
