Washington House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California said Friday that Republicans are frustrated that Democrats"watered down" a resolution that passed a day earlier condemning anti-Semitism as well as anti-Muslim discrimination and other forms of hate and intolerance.
Asked to explain why 23 House Republicans voted to oppose the measure, McCarthy, who voted for the resolution, said during a news conference that Democrats had"watered down this amendment. The frustration on the Republican side was more that you watered down the amendment. Yes, we are always stronger when we speak with one voice, but I think America is very clear on this: We oppose anti-Semitism.
