Democrats in the House of Representatives have now passed a new bill which aims to set up a special office at the State Department tasked with fighting ‘Islamophobia’ globally.

As The Hill reports:

The House passed legislation on Tuesday to create a special office within the State Department to combat Islamophobia globally, as Democratic leaders sought to find a way to unify their party against anti-Muslim hatred while stopping short of progressives’ calls to remove Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) from committees for her attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Lawmakers passed the bill along party lines, 219-212.

Progressives have introduced a measure to kick Boebert off committees for her Islamophobic comments last month suggesting that Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress, could be a terrorist.

Democrat leaders chose to pass the bill, authored by Omar, to set up the special envoy to combat anti-semitism instead of trying to strip Rep. Boebert of her committee assignments.

Instead, Democratic leaders settled on a bill authored by Omar to create a special envoy tasked with addressing Islamophobia around the world as an alternative way to address anti-Muslim prejudice without specific consequences for Boebert.

However Omar expressed her hope that action would still be taken against Boebert in statements to reporters.

    1. I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless. 
      Here’s what I do… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤

  1. Omar is an anti-American, anti-Israel incestuous liar, and that makes her a terrorist in my book. Where’s all the outrage in Congress over the BDS movement in America that is carrying out a philosophical and terrorist funding war against Israel, the U.S. and conservative constitutional ideology? This group is brainwashing young Americans and spawning new recruits to be radicalized for Islamic terrorist movements!

  2. LISTEN UP…If OMAR wants MUSLIMS to get a BREAK than SHE Better SHOW the SAME KINDNESS to the JEWISH PEOPLE. GOD’S Convenant is wit h the JEWS. It is an EVERLASTING COVENANT ..Sealed in BLOOD. GOD Can FAVOR Who HE Chooses…HE is GOD. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  3. Gays and Gay friendly members of the administration and their allies should demand that Rep. Omar and her Muslim supporters prepare and issue a formal and publicly apology for the hostile treatment and brutal actions against homosexuals by hardline Islamists. And, while we’re at it, they should also issue an apology to the Jewish community those who have lived through brutal years of persecution metered out by radicalized Islamic terrorists.

  4. No slander, everything Boebert said was and is true/factual. House of Representatives can’t act alone, Senate still has a say….

  5. The fact that this vile, lying, America Hating, ignorant POS sits in the Congress of the United States is a travesty….

  6. We already have laws on the books about prejudice. Passage of this bill is a slap on the face to every other religion and nationality. This calls for special offices to be set up for all of them. I would suggest the Israeliphobia be set up first and Omar to be the first to be prosecuted for her many Israeliphobic statements. Of course this is as unnecessary as this new office must be repealed. And if anyone deserves sensure it is Omar for her actions. Pelosi should be ashamed to ever let this come to the floor!

  7. omar is a Terrorist and a antisemitic politician deport omar the Traitor to the American People and the Constitution

  8. Omar’s daddy was a henchman to the marxist leader of Somalia for over 20 years before that leader was deposed; that is why Omar is here. She is smart and playing a deception when it is she who should be censured for her anti-semitic remarks and she should be returned to Somalia for her anti-American stance!

  9. Stupid….how about an office to protect the majority of the people against the squad…. Shame on Schrier and others that do not represent me…..

  10. Islamophobia? Pandering again to the the anti-semites and WE THE PEOPLE haters,,,THE SQUAD!! FAR FROM ISLAMOPHOBIA. The wrong connotation here for Islamists, constitution haters, Sharia law supporters, ILHAN OMAR and RASHIDA TLAIB!! DEMOCRATS HAVE NO MORALS!! This is their DEMOCRACY, NO MORALS!

  11. A phobia by definition is an “irrational fear”. Given the unprovoked 9/11 attacks in which 3,000 American civilians were deliberately murdered, the ongoing persecution of other religions and suppression of women, questioning the actions and motivations of Muslims is entirely logical. Phobia doesn’t enter into it and is a false narrative used by the left to justify any actions muslims take.

  12. How can you pass a bill for Islamophobia, when she has spoken very negatively against the Jews. This Congress is a joke. They are a bunch of followers. Integrity is very important in leadership, surely this congress has a problem.
