Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar arriving for the SOTU address in the Congress
Following a publicbacklash against freshman Minn. Rep Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitic sentiments, the House Democrats will move a resolution to dissuade every member from making such comments. The move is a consequence of the demands by the Anti-Defamation League which demanded Democrats’ commitment to avoid anti-Semitic remarks(Kellman, 2019). The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will lead the declaration. Notably, the American public is diverse and reckless speeches by elected leaders are dangerous to the national cohesion. Besides, such issues are seen as racial in many corners hence the need refrain. Hopefully, the Representative learned her lesson and will be more careful in her future communication.
