Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, Summer Lee, Cori Bush, Ayanna Pressley, Andre Carson, and Delia Ramirez. > The resolution comes after Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) said on Saturday that “Israel is a racist state.” > Republican leaders presented the resolution to the House floor after progressive Democrats announced they would boycott Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s joint address to Congress on Wednesday.
