Rep. Johnson Condemns Anti-Semitism for a Second Time

Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) supported a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and bigotry following offensive comments by Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN). This is the second resolution to pass the U.S. House of Representatives following offensive comments made by Rep. Omar.

“Anti-Semitism has no place in our politics, nor our country,” said Rep. Johnson. “It’s disappointing Congress has to pass another resolution to condemn bigotry in the first place, and it’s even more disappointing that it took Democrats nearly a week to negotiate language to condemn these insensitive and racist comments. As Members of Congress, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard. Period.”

This resolution passed the House 407-23.

  1. It did not directly target the target: Ihlan Omar who has voiced Anti-Semitism and anti American speech regularly. It is only a “watered down” hate bill that CAIR possibly crafted and may actually limit free speech for those who do not embrace progressive ideology. .

  2. Dusty likes to vote with Nancy to show that he can work across the isle. Omar backed by CAIR has a bigger set than Dusty does. I’m wondering about thar R behind his name…….Dusty Speaks With Fork Tounge…..sssssssss….Should demand her removal from committee like Steve King. Was very disappointed with Dusty’s last vote to obstruct President Trump. Could have abstained or voted present, but no, You Voted With Nancy. I won’t stand out in the cold and hold your posters again……

  3. The resolution did nothing to “condemn bigotry” in regard to the Jewish people. The resolution promotes bully tactics used by the left to silence those who voice concern about the Muslim Brotherhood’s anti-Semitism by using the term “Islamophobe”.

    First it was the Wall vote, and now this vote that demonstrates how Dusty is playing politics, instead of defending and fighting for conservative principles.

    I recommend reading this:

  4. You know, one of the things that people are tired of is politicians *pretending* that people don’t know when politicians are playing fast-and-loose with matters of principle. This is one of those cases.

    If you’re going to condemn *obvious* anti-semitism in Congress, largely because of Ilhan Omar – who’s next door to this state, mind you – then why should you vote for a sham bill that puts everything up that regressive leftists use (you’ll note no condemnation of socialism or communism, or anti-christian bigotry, for example) to paper over their obvious anti-semitism of the same, then don’t be surprised when people, even people of your own party, have less respect for you (even if they voted for you) because they know that you don’t respect them enough to take real votes on substantive points of principle.

    And, real conservatives know it. The 23 Republicans who voted against the sham resolution are the only people with real principles, and everyone knows it. Very sad that Rep. Johnson couldn’t have been as principled on this vote as he was with the emergency declaration legislation.

    It is things like this that endangers parties in power in even red states. Truly.
