The House passed a resolution that condemns hate and intolerance, including anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination. Democrats hope this puts an end to the controversy swirling around freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments related to Israel. Before the vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she didn’t think Omar’s comments were “intended in any anti-Semitic way” and Omar may not have understood “the full weight” of how her remarks were interpreted. GOP Rep. Liz Cheney said the resolution was a “sham” put forth by Democrats who didn’t want to call out one of their own.
Meanwhile, it looks like Stormy Daniels’ lawsuit against President Trump is over. A federal judge tossed out her suit, which sought to invalidate a $130,000 hush money agreement, because the suit “lacks subject matter jurisdiction.” The judge remanded the case back to where it was first filed. Daniels, an adult film star, says she and Trump had an affair in 2006, which Trump denies.
