House Democrats Show Their Priorities, Approve New State 'Anti-Islamophobia' Office

[RedState] I know, right?

The continuing border crisis. Rising gas prices and overall inflation spiraling out of control. American citizens, purposely left behind in Afghanistan and still trapped behind Taliban lines. Plummeting Biden approval rates. An out-of-control infectious and emerging diseases "expert" and a disastrous vice president.

The list goes on.

At least no one can accuse Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats of failing to keep their priorities straight.

As reported by Reuters, the House on Tuesday voted along straight party lines (219-212) to approve a bill to create a State Department office to "address anti-Muslim bias," after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a member of a "Jihad Squad."

In addition, as reported by my colleague streiff, earlier this month, Boebert called out Omar for "financial shenanigans, a fraudulent (we hope) and incestuous marriage, and for being a member of above-mentioned ’Jihad Squad." — all of which, Omar has been accused of in the past, multiple times.

As to the "Jihad Squad" blast, call what you want, it matters not. What does matter is that the dopey so-called "Squad" — Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayana Pressley demonstrate anti-American, anti-Israel, pro-Islamist behavior on a regular basis.

The silly "Oh, yeah — I’ll show you!" bill was authored by Omar and would even create a special envoy for "monitoring and combating Islamophobia and include state-sponsored anti-Muslim violence in the department’s annual human rights reports," as noted by the wire service report.

#4 The State Dept. - working against American interests since the 1950's. I'd love to be the guy giving at least half their employees the big Size 10 boot in the ass out the flippin' door in a real Republican administration.

#5 We will need electric park benches. And clones of Robert Elliott.

#6 Some Republican should introduce a bill that mimics the Ilhan Omar bill, but substitute 'anti-Semitism' and 'Christophobia' for 'Islamophobia'.
Of course, such a bill would go nowhere. It would be accused of promoting one religion over another, and on and on.

#7 The Corbynification of the Democratic Party ... But will it get passed in the Senate, or is this just posturing for the rubes?

#8 "Islamophobia": A reference without a referent, since a "phobia" is defined as an "irrational fear or hatred".
