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.
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.
MSNBC has also a slew of Islamists anchors/hosts.
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.
Another one of her the dog broke the lamp stories.
Now look at what y’all have done! See, it really is all your fault!
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.
Next like Flip Wilson “the devil made me do it.”
Or maybe the white devils.
She’s the one who married her brother.
Nearly daily, I write on FR, “Repeal the 19th”. I just met my quota for the day.
Omg
So Omar’s antisemitism is because of whites who are racist? MSNBC are you Friggin kidding me? I’m not antisemitic.
Most Jews would vote for a anti-semite democrat over a conservative Christian republican.
OF course it is our fault. We called her on it.
