But Omar stood by her criticism of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) special interest influence.

“At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. It’s gone on too long and we must be willing to address it,” Omar said.

Standard leftist non-apology “apology”.

NOPE, no sale!

[Doogle]

“I’m sorry but not really...OK?”

[FatherofFive]

Yeah right.

"Taqiyya (also spelled taqiya or taqiyyah) is lying to advance or protect Islam (taqiyya literally means "prevention"). Muslims justify taqiyya from the Quran, other Islamic texts, and the actions of Muhammad"

That was not a sincere apology.

That is a lying Democrat giving a phony explanation.

""At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. It's gone on too long and we must be willing to address it," Omar said."

So does that go for all the lobbyists on the left such as the Brady Campaign and Planned Parenthood or is this just a one way street?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Apology accepted.

[Maudeen]

Just think it is only mid February and look at the ineptness we have had to put up with from the dems.

[Dr. Ursus]

How far has this country fallen that this garbage is a member of congress!

[DIRTYSECRET]

They’re Democrats.

[John Leland 1789]

To Omar, the NRA, AIPAC, the fossil fuel industry, etc. are “problematic” as lobbies. But not C.A.I.R.

At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics...

Odd that CAIR wasn't mentioned. I guess some lobbyists are more equal than others...when they support you...CAIR fundraiser Ilhan Omar.

Get ready for more of this Anti-Semitism there Libs.

Welcoming hate-filled people such as this Omar into your party, you are now 100% guaranteed to get even more naked and disgusting Anti-Semitism in the future!

[max americana]

Reading that bogus ‘apology’, I;m sure this retard does not have the mental capacity to spell out the apology. This idiot must have capable handlers..

[rightwingcrazy]

Well, I except her apology.

[Leep]

God, on hope she is a one termer.

[butlerweave]

Set up before hand by the Dems themselves ?

[SunkenCiv]

Omar's apology came after she spoke with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who along with other House Democratic leaders... [made sure she was assigned to the House Foreign Affairs Committee]... Omar previously under fire over a 2012 tweet [but apparently Pelosi never heard of that until recently]

[Zenjitsuman]

Its the Dems, party of Obama, Talib, Omar, Farrakan, Sharpton, Jackson, they boycotted Bibi’s speech before congress.

Dems want BDS, GOP doesn’t. Dems support Iran getting WMD
with $150 billion, but won’t give Trump $5 billion to protect Americans.
