The top Democrat in the House of Representatives "vigorously" endorsed "Squad" Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for re-election amid the congresswoman's criticism of a pro-Israel political action committee (PAC).
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., threw his support behind Omar on Wednesday, "vigorously" endorsing the "Squad" Democrat with a long history of controversial comments about Israel.
"Rep. Omar has been elected by her constituents three times and has consistently stood up for them, including through her service on the House Budget Committee," Jeffries said in a statement.
"As House Democratic Leader, I vigorously endorse her re-election and stand with her as we battle Extreme MAGA Republicans for the future of our nation," he said in the statement shared with POLITICO.
Other leading House Democrats — both current and previous — are backing Omar's re-election bid to Congress.
These include House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts, House Democratic Caucus chairman Pete Aguilar and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, former House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland, and former House Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.
Omar said in a statement that she is "proud to have earned the respect and support of every single member of the Democratic House leadership for my re-election campaign."
Party leaders typically endorse incumbents for re-election, but Omar presents a unique issue with her controversial statements on Israel and organizations supporting the Middle Eastern nation.
Omar recently called the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which calls itself bipartisan, a "right-wing super PAC" and accused it of being funded by "dark money."
**SNIP**
"THIS IS URGENT," began an ad for Omar’s campaign on X, formerly Twitter. "A right-wing Super PAC funded by millions of dollars in Dark Money spending is working around the clock to unseat Ilhan from Congress in 2024."

Why would Jeffery’s endorse her?
Obvious they have something in common, something they were born with, genetically that makes them have a bond.
Love of Twinkies that is, they both love the delicious , creamy cakes.
Well, we also remember her thoughtful comments about September 11.
Of course he does.
Anyone named Hakeem is going to endorse a fellow traveler like ILLhan.
The Democratic Party is full of Marxists.

She hates whitey as much as he does.....so yeah, it’s all good with her.
Rats stick together, regardless. No morals. No ethics. No sense. America is imploding because of them.
The Communists were busy infiltrating our public school system for decades while intellectually lazy Americans were preoccupied with ‘bread and circuses’.
IOW - "Wit Mis Omar th Great we be fixin to ice them nasty extreme magas just like we done the tea people! Look out 4 the blade she be sportin in the headpiece! Husk-em has speaked......
“Some people did some things” as I recall
A lot of her constituents also accompanied her on Qatar funded junket to world cup — not
Of course Hakeem would endorse the wench. It’s all skin color and communism to these turds.
Is ANYONE surprised?
Muzzies stick together. Primary them out; they are not good for America.
Where do Ilhan and Hakeem stand on fags?
Omar is part of the Democrats’ solution to their “Jewish problem”.
And Islam. Hakeem is an Arabic name. I know he claims to be a Baptist, but there is something else going on there. His brothers name is Hasan.
I'm guessing a connection with the Nation of Islam. His uncle spouted all the Nation of Islam taking points, and Hakeem digested them.
Hakeem and Omar both worship the pagan moon god.
SICKNESS IN AMERICA!
And it's prophesied in the Word of God Isaiah 9/10.
