'You all would fit in great with the anti-Semites at the United Nations': Nikki Haley slams AOC and other Dems who opposed pro-Israel resolution

Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley tweeted out a list of the nine House Democrats who voted against a resolution to express America's support for Israel.

"We're taking names," Haley tweeted, listing the nine lawmakers' names. "These 9 members of Congress believe Israel is racist. We will remember this vote."

The resolution, which earned tremendous bipartisan support with a whopping 412 House lawmakers voting for passage, declared that "the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state," that "Congress rejects all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia," and that "the United States will always be a staunch partner and supporter of Israel."

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, who was one of the legislators to vote against the resolution, responded to Haley's tweet.

"Oooh, a list!" the lawmaker wrote. "Remember to call it 'People in Congress who think apartheid is wrong' or alternatively, 'People in Congress who don't ignore human rights abuses against Palestinians.'"

"Why does Israel get under your skin?" Haley fired back. "Because it's democratic, pro-American, or Jewish? You don't get worked up about massive human rights violations in China, Iran, Cuba, & Venezuela. You all would fit in great with the anti-Semites at the United Nations,"

The other eight House members who voted against the resolution were Reps. Jamaal Bowman of New York, Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, André Carson of Indiana, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, and Summer Lee of Pennsylvania.

Haley served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during a portion of President Donald Trump's White House tenure. Prior to that, she served as governor of South Carolina.

Trump currently remains the clear frontrunner in the GOP primary contest with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a distant second place.
