| 0:00.0 | Good Friday morning and happy international women's day. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico |
| 0:06.1 | Playbook audio briefing. Stay tuned after the show for a message from Google. And I'm Jake Sherman. |
| 0:11.1 | 23 House Republicans voted against a resolution yesterday evening that condemn tate against many groups, |
| 0:16.7 | including Jews and Muslims in the wake of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's suggestion that |
| 0:20.8 | supporters of Israel might have dual loyalty. Remarks that were almost universally. including Jews and Muslims in the wake of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's suggestion that supporters |
| 0:21.4 | of Israel might have dual loyalty, remarks that were almost universally viewed as anti-Semitic. |
| 0:26.6 | Every Democrat voted yes. Here are a few dynamics to keep an eye on. First of all, it's fair to say |

| 1:28.5 | The prevailing thought in House GOP leadership and in much of the rank and files that folks who voted against the resolution handed Democrats a gift. |
