Chutzpah.

Via Twitter this evening, from Representative Vicky Hartzler (r):

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Tonight I voted for second House resolution condemning the anti-Semitism associated with Rep. Omar’s repeated remarks. It’s a shame we even need to have a resolution to proclaim this fact. Support for Israel & the Jewish people is fundamental to our democratic ideals.
5:48 PM – 7 Mar 2019 from Washington, DC

“…Well, I’ve been to one world’s fair, a picnic, and a rodeo and that’s the stupidest thing I ever heard come over a set of earphones…”

Uh, the resolution doesn’t mention any individual.

The vote this evening:

[emphasis added]

Twenty-three republicans voted against the resolution. Seriously.

Representative Steven King (r) voted “present”. That’s ironic on so many levels.
