“…Who’s that yonder dressed in black? Must be the hypocrites turnin’ back…”
This afternoon on Twitter from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

#SorryNotSorry House Dems unsure whether to condemn anti-Semitism, pull HRes 186. Again. #ThursdayThoughts

And one commenter was having none of it:
Lynz @ln_simmons
I had some #ThursdayThoughts myself, in fact, on this very same issue.You’re #HypocriteHartzler for sure—sounding off about Anti-Semitism but then casting votes against prohibitions against it.
Pathetic. #movemo4ward #DoBetter4MO

So, we followed the commenter’s trail – ending with a House vote on February 13, 2019:

[….]
—- NAYS 177 —Hartzler
—- ANSWERED “PRESENT” 1 —
[….]

[….]
[emphasis added]
Included in that resolution:
[….]
(11) It is in the national security interest of the United
States to combat anti-Semitism around the world because–
(A) anti-Semitism is a challenge to the basic
principles of tolerance, pluralism, and democracy, and
the shared values that bind Americans together;
(B) there has been a significant amount of anti-
Semitic and anti-Israel hatred that must be most
strongly condemned; and
(C) there is an urgent need to ensure the safety
and security of Jewish communities, including
synagogues, schools, cemeteries, and other
institutions.
[….]
Hypocrite.
