mitigate future criticisms of republicans for not rebuking president trump on a wayward tweet here and there, that kind of thing? well, again, i think that s right. there s an equivalence here. i mean, this resolution actually mentions charlottesville and virtually every other hate crime and event that s happened in the last two years, clearly trying to associate it with president trump. again, it makes it fundamentally a political act, and i think the american people are sitting out there looking for a level of seriousness about the disagreements going on right now, and i think gillian is right, that the left inside the house of representatives is just going to make life hellish for nancy pelosi. they ll be back. this is not going to be the last charles: you could argue they re more emboldened now than they were, in fact. thank you all very much. still ahead, weaker than expected job numbers in february, but there is a silver lining in friday s report. steve moore is going to ta
this, gillian, some very well respected lawmakers really went out on a limb, in james clyburn, for instance, suggesting her personal pain was more important and relevant than that of people whose parents or grandparents were in the holocaust. yeah. i mean, this has been quite the spectacle. it kind of cracks me up, was i remember because i remember two or three years ago when the black lives matter movement was at the front of the headlines. the progressives, this very wing of the party, was so profoundly offended if you said blue lives matter, if you said all lives matter. but i think this is their all hate matters moment, and it s just fascinating to watch the hypocrisy here, especially when you have such an anti-semitic statement and such an unapologetic attitude to this. the fact that they wanted to stand up and pretend they re anti-far it, yet they can t even condemn it when it happens in
bloomberg says he won t enter the race although his money will. and ohio senator sherrod brown announcing he s also going to sit this out. hillary clinton says she s not runed but, reportedly, isn t ready to close the door entirely. all of this, of course, as the waiting game continues with former vice president joe biden reportedly in the final stages of preparing for a 2020 run. we re back with dan henninger and gillian melcher. i m losing track, kim, of 40 s in and who s not who s in and who s not. and i think who s not speaks pretty loudly about issues within the party particularly within the moderates. yeah. i think there are two main issues that are guiding the decisions for those who are not in. one just has to do with how crowded the field is. you know, it s one thing when you have 14 candidates out there and no one knows who they are, but you ve got a couple of big name stauers out there stars out there, so that makes it
possible opposition to anti-semitism, anti-muslim statements, anti-white supremacist attitudes. charles: that was nancy pelosi teeing up a house bill thursday on a resolution that, quote, encourages all public officials to confront9 the reality of anti-semitism, islamophobia, racism and other forms of bigot ottly. the resolution initially meant as a response to comments made by freshman democrat ilhan omar that were seen as anti-semitic. but the final draft does not mention omar by name. it was broadened to include all forms of hatred. after backlash from house progressives and some 2020 democratic presidential hopefuls, back with us now, dan, gillian and bill. bill, it certainly morphed over a three or four-day period into something that i think it missed the mark. yeah, look, it s a farce. they the reason we had this resolution is they couldn t pass a resolution just condemning
but also just how, you know, her colleague alexandria ocasio-cortez jumped into the fray early on, and i feel like that helped to shift the debate. because this is an eternal issue. this is a democrat issue, and when she jumped in, it changed the whole thing completely, gillian. and this is how we ultimately got the resolution that we got. yeah. i think we re seeing here that the far left socialist, progressive wing of the party is a real threat to democratic unity and authority. i mean, it is shocking. you have somebody coming out with this anti-semitic statement. why can t they just rally and say this is wrong? you ve got this wing of the party that s basically hijacked their ability to take a moral stand, and i think this bodes poorly for their ability to accomplish oh things. absolutely. i think, i mean, their problem, again, is not this individual congresswoman, the problem is the party that her views are popular in the party, and that s an outlier with the american people. it
