Not too long ago, the Democrats--many of them, anyway--lectured conservatives for responding to the epithet "black lives matter" by noting that "all lives matter."
This was circumventing the original intent, we were told, by broadening that too much.
Well, just last Thursday, when Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar made some clearly anti-Semitic remarks, a resolution was set forth to condemn these remarks. Instead, it was greatly watered down--or "broaden[ed]"--to include bigotry against (among others) "Pacific Islanders." (I really did not know that this sort of bigotry has been historically a major problem in the US--or that words had recently been spoken, in Congress, that might be hurtful to Pacific Islanders.)
Rep. Omar was never named, specifically, in this "resolution."
Do others see this as being just as meaningless as I do--and an exercise in both cowardice and hypocrisy?
