MSNBC Claims Ilhan Omar’s Antisemitism the Fault of ‘Right Wing Hatemongers’
HonestReporting ^ | Jan 16, 2023

Posted on 02/13/2023 2:39:28 PM PST by Words Matter

Back in 2019, Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar issued an apology to the Jewish community.

“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of antisemitic tropes,” she said. “My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.”

The congresswoman released the statement after she posted a tweet that suggested US politicians are paid by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to support Israel.

Referencing US founding father Benjamin Franklin, whose face adorns the $100 bill, Omar posted that it was “all about the Benjamins baby” in reference to the lobbying group’s allegedly boundless influence on lawmakers. 

Within hours of the tweet, the then-Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the entirety of the Democrat leadership condemned the tweet in what was labeled an “extraordinary rebuke” by media outlets reporting on the troubling incident...

MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones characterized the episode as a storm that was whipped up by “right-wing hatemongers” in a recent article..

It kills me. Far-left dirtballs are so ****ed up that they have to blame it on somebody else. ROTFL. Don’t blame her friggin’ stupidity and retardedness on me.

That’s why you can never trust the left......they never take responsibility for anything while blaming others for everything.

Brandon is a perfect example of that

She has come out swinging against Jews from the beginning. How on earth can someone lie that blatantly?

If conservative Christians are to blame for Muslims following Muhammad’s many teachings of hating non-Muslims ... you might be a Democrat.

“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of antisemitic tropes,” she said.

When will she issue a similar apology for her attacks on whites?

I think the best thing for Ilhan to do is pack her bags and go home. She’s missing all of the hatred she could sling around there.

Unlike leftists, I take responsibility for being a right wing hatemonger. I wear it like a badge of honor. Keep slinging it, commies.

Immunize yourself from all the name calling. If enough people proclaim that they are Islamic-phobic, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc., then you take all the sting out of their mudslinging.

Ilhan Omar’s antisemitism was well-established in her pro-socialist upbringing in Somalia, and has nothing to do with the right-wing attacks upon her political positions. It is all on her and her alone.

She was a fascist long before she gained entry to the US, and simply brought her prejudices and bias with her.

And yet they granted her citizenship, a privilege she has repeatedly abused and even spit upon.

I prove my being a hate monger by saying things like, “All men are created equal” and “Judge men men by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.”

I will even include women in those statements as well...sometimes.

Nearly daily, I write on FR, “Repeal the 19th”. I just met my quota for the day.

Most Jews would vote for a anti-semite democrat over a conservative Christian republican.
