Trump name-checks controversial Rep. Omar at RJC meeting: 'Oh, I forgot, she doesn't like Israel'
The Washington Times ^ | April 6, 2019 | Dave Boyer

President Trump elicited cheers Saturday at a Republican Jewish Coalition conference for recognizing Israel’s claim to the Golan Heights and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

The president also played to the crowd by mentioning the name of Muslim Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, which drew loud boos from the audience in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota,” the president said tongue-in-cheek. As the booing cascaded in the venue, Mr. Trump added, “Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel. I forgot. I’m so sorry.”

Mr. Trump told the crowd that Republicans are taking a stronger stand than Democrats in preventing potential boycotts and sanctions against Israel, calling the boycott movement anti-Semitic.

“Republicans believe that we must never ignore the vile poison of anti-Semitism,” Mr. Trump said. “If implemented, the Democrats’ radical agenda would destroy our economy, cripple our country, and very well could leave Israel out there all by yourselves. Can’t do that.”

But in referring to next week’s reelection bid by embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr. Trump sounded a note of caution about his good friend.

The crowd cheered so much that it was like it was the period at the end of a sentence.

Practically everything he said inspired LOUD applause and cheers.

I think it was one of the most enjoyable speeches I have heard. And FUNNY. I love his sense of humor.

It is an acquired taste. Most people don’t get his jokes, but once you do you realize he is one of the funniest guys around.

My wife never got him at first until she started understanding NYC speak, now she loves him. She still won’t admit I was right.
