                      DEMOCRATIC DOUBLE STANDARDS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Michigan (Mrs. McClain) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I am that woman, and I am back to talk 
about the Democratic double standards once again.
  Democrats love to jump on the Republican outrage train. But when we 
see the blatant anti-Semitism from one of their own, all you see are 
timid, fake, pandering, and watered-down responses.
  For those of you who struggle to keep up with the latest anti-Semitic 
rhetoric from a Democrat, I am referring to the Congresswoman from this 
Chamber comparing the United States and Israel to real terrorist 
organizations.
  The Speaker and her leadership team issued a weak and embarrassing 
press release thanking her for her clarification and walking back her 
remarks. But, of course, Democrats are not serious in disciplining 
anti-Semitism, or even anti-American remarks, within their ranks.
  This photo of the Speaker smiling next to the Congresswoman from 
Minnesota was on the cover of the March 2019 edition of Rolling Stone. 
This came after the Congresswoman from Minnesota had tweeted, and then 
defended, that ``Israel has hypnotized the world'' and implied that the 
Jewish people were buying political support by tweeting: ``It's all 
about the Benjamins baby.''
  The cover of the magazine says: ``Women Shaping the Future: Nancy 
Pelosi and the New Voices of the House.''
  Is this really the voice of the Democratic Party, Madam Speaker?
  Can you imagine, for one moment, the Democratic outrage if this were 
the Republican leader and the Congresswoman from Georgia? There would 
be demands for resignations, and Republican office phones would be 
ringing off the hook from leftwing, liberal activists.
  I ask the Speaker, are you truly proud of this photo?
  I can't wait to hear her answer. I just hope she won't be as 
demeaning as the last time she spoke about ``that woman.''
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their 
remarks to the Chair and not to a perceived viewing audience.
