Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) says, in the matter of Representative Ilhan Omar and her anti-Semitic outbursts: “Nothing good is accomplished by being distracted by issues that divide the nation. We want to bring people together. There are folks in this town who want to tear folks apart.”

Well. Representative Jeffries has, within recent memory, described President Donald Trump as “the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Don’t want to tear folks apart, now!

The Democrats had a chance to do something about their caucus’s problem with Jew-hating weirdos. They declined. That’s the whole story.
