 Lawmakers took a stand against hateful speech Thursday. The House passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination. The vote wasn't even closed with 407 representatives voting in favor and 23 against. The measure was written after Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota made comments on social media many dubbed as anti-Semitic. Many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have spoken out against her comments. The original resolution just including condemning those statements, but it went through several revisions to include hateful speech toward other religions and minorities.
