Jim Clyburn's defense: Omar's experience is 'more personal' than Jews who had parents [tr]
Washington Examiner ^ | March 7, 2019 | Philip Klein

As Democrats line up to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar and come up with her excuses for her anti-Semitism, House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., tried to minimize her comments by arguing that she escaped violence in Somalia, so her experience was "more personal" than Jews who merely had parents survive the Holocaust.

The Hill reports, "Clyburn came to Omar’s defense Wednesday, lamenting that many of the media reports surrounding the recent controversy have omitted mentioning that Omar, who was born in Somalia, had to flee the country to escape violence and spent four years in a Kenyan refugee camp before coming to the United States."

The article quotes Clyburn as saying, “There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her ... I’ve talked to her, and I can tell you she is living through a lot of pain.”

This woman graphically illustrates why people from Muslim countries should not be accepted into the USA as asylum seekers. They are bred to be troublemakers by the vicious religion they espouse.

It should be assumed that all women wearing burqas have Stockholm Syndrome.

I could care less about who survived the holocaust or the mess in Somali-We didn't do/cause it, we are the ones who offered refuge and American Freedom.

She has ZERO right to spread her antisemitic filth from the platform she was elected to serve Americans.

If she wants to lead the "hate the Jews" charge, ship her back to a third-world, "Jew-less" s**thole, so she can enjoy the company of her own kind.

Makes me friggin sick that we are paying for this p.o.s. to represent us.

Dear House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C.,

The warm, squishy feeling between your toes is not sweat
from the heated hunting socks your wife bought you for Christmas.
Also, the smell emanating from the warm, squishy 'stuff' you just stepped in
should give you an idea of what it was that you actually just stepped in.
Walking barefoot in the park is never a good idea.

Insincerely,
philman_36

I guess we can say the same thing about Clyburn and the rest of the blacks who can’t get past the fact that some of their ancestors were slaves. They have no personal experience of being slaves so it isn’t personal to them. Seems to me every time one of these Democrat blacks opens his/her mouth, they positively support the idea that they are less intelligent than whites.

Will the jews keep voting for and donating to the Rats after this?

I think so, they are incurable, self loathing masochists, just like so many whites.

By that twisted logic, so do today’s blacks regarding slavery.

I said this yesterday: She’s the true victim here, not those pesky, money-grubbing joos and their holocaust schtick.
