Article snippet: House Democrats unveiled a resolution on Thursday to broadly condemn hate — but then made last-minute additional changes to make sure no one felt left out. The House had initially been expected to start debating the resolution around 3:15 p.m., but that got pushed back by nearly an hour as Democrats revised their resolution to ensure it made reference to an even wider swath of marginalized groups. A vote is still expected shortly after the debate ends. The initial text revealed earlier Thursday afternoon stated that white supremacists have targeted "traditionally persecuted peoples, including African Americans, Native Americans, and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, immigrants, and others with verbal attacks, incitement, and violence." But Democratic leaders later revised that line in the resolution to include Latinos, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders and the LGBTQ community.
