The House plans to vote Thursday on "one resolution addressing all forms of hate," as questions about how to respond to Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) controversial comments on Israel continue to roil the Democratic caucus, Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters.
Driving the news: During her weekly press conference, Pelosi stressed that the resolution will not mention Omar's name: "It's not about her, it's about these forms of hatred. ... I feel confident that her words were not based on any anti-Semitic attitude, but that she didn't have a full appreciation for how they landed on other people. ... These words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her."
The big picture: Tensions over the resolution, which was briefly delayed, reportedly ran high in an emergency meeting called by Pelosi on Wednesday, with some Democrats claiming that Omar had been unfairly singled out. The differing opinions of various factions of the Democratic caucus, including progressives and Jewish lawmakers, have threatened to derail Pelosi's agenda in the early days of her new majority.
