‘Squad’ member Summer Lee mixes up two Jewish Dems — then Ilhan Omar tries to defend her and gets reminded of her own vote

WASHINGTON — What’s in a name?

“Squad” Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) mixed up two Jewish Democrats named “Josh” Tuesday while attempting to dunk on Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) after he warned about the rise of socialism in the party.

“What about Dems who sign bombs and vote to drop them?” Lee chided Gottheimer after the Garden Stater blasted the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as “not Democrats” but “socialists, who want to hijack the Democratic Party” and declared “there’s no room for anti-American bomb-throwers who oppose our ideas, values, & leaders.”

After Gottheimer told Lee she was thinking of “the other Jewish guy named Josh,” a reference to Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro autographing an artillery shell meant for Ukraine during a September 2024 visit to Scranton by Kyiv President Volodymyr Zelensky, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tried to put in her two cents — only to wind up committing a viral social media faux pas.

“He signed the bombs you voted to be dropped. Hope this helps!” Omar interjected in her ill-fated attempt to back up her fellow left-winger.

That earned Omar a community note on X castigating her obsession with Israel, which she appeared to believe the discussion between Gottheimer and Lee was referencing.

Gottheimer then supplied a double whammy, posting a screenshot confirming that Omar had voted to approve $60.8 billion in aid for Ukraine in April 2024.

“Ilhan, you know who else voted for it? You,” Gottheimer posted in response to his Somali-born colleague.

A distinction without a difference.

I just can’t get lathered up about this distraction from wars that need to stop in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon.

What do you want me to do get so enraged with Progressive Democrat women that I start going into some sort of pornographic spiral?

I stopped doing that *hit and I’m not taking the bait to bate.

I got some Republicans to vote for in November and maybe some I don’t want to vote for.

More and more, Jewish Democrat officeholders are becoming punching bags for the New Left. Its amazing to watch since some Democratic Jewish officeholders were the most liberal, “progressive” members of the party. But I guess that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t protect them or give them any credibility with the New Left. Only one thing matters - they are Jewish. End of story. I guess that should not be surprise for a party that places so much stock in characteristics like skin color and sexual orientation. And the liberal, progressive Jewish officeholders were willing handmaidens to transforming the party into this type of grievance hierarchy. Did they not realize that they’d be at the bottom of that hierarchy when the dust settled?
