Minnesota Democrat criticized for anti-Israel statements, BDS support

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hit with a backlash over her decision to assign freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, despite the Minnesota Democrat’s record of anti-Israel advocacy.

The House Republican leadership blasted the decision, citing Ms. Omar’s 2012 tweet saying that Israel had “hypnotized the world” and was guilty of “evil doings,” as well as her support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

“It is disgraceful that Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat majority gave a coveted seat on the House Foreign Relations Committee to a member who has a documented history of making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said in a Thursday statement.

“Rather than standing up against the disturbing rise of anti-Semitic rhetoric on the left, House Democrats have now just endorsed that ideology,” he said.

House Republican Conference chair Liz Cheney called on Democrats to “correct this immediately,” while former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Friday that Mrs. Pelosi should “reverse herself.”

“Nancy Pelosi should ask Congresswoman Omar to step down, and if she doesn’t step down, the Democrat leadership should remove her,” Mr. Flesicher told Fox News.

Republicans weren’t alone. The move, which received extensive coverage in the Jewish and Israeli press, was also condemned by Jewish groups and advocates of Israel.

“So the @TheDemocrats thought it a good idea to reward @IlhanMN with a cushy appt!” tweeted former New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat. “Was it her demonization of Israel that won her the spot? 2020 is around the corner. Good luck to Dems explaining this twisted move on the campaign trail!”

Well you have to admit marrying your brother does make for a pretty foreign affair.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

[veracious]

Enemies foreign and domestic moving into key positions in DC.

[Ancesthntr]

Certain Dems are either so stupid, or so completely hate-filled, that they should be locked up in a room and not let out until a week before Election Day - locked up by the DEMS.

Hank Johnson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Alexandria Occasional Cortex, and this hater spring to mind right away.

[Ancesthntr]

“Jews keep voting for Democrats, Democrats keep sticking it to Israel.

Nothing new here. It will be news if the Jews in America ever do anything different. Otherwise, it’s just more of the same.”

Exactly like the Blacks...and a good number of Hispanics.

In all of these groups, the Stooooopid runs strong.

Enemies foreign and domestic moving into key positions in DC.

Well worth repeating!

[forgotten man]

American Jews remind me of the European Jews who were tricked into buying first class railway tickets to the “resettlement zone” 75 years ago.

[Capt. Tom]

I predict it won't be long before she can no longer resist sharing confidential Congressional secrets with her Palestinian friends.

As a Muslim her obligation is to Islam, and Sharia, and not to a Kafir organization like our country and our infidel laws.- Tom

"Was it her demonization of Israel that won her the spot? 2020 is around the corner. Good luck to Dems explaining this twisted move on the campaign trail!"

Pelosi's response? She'll repeat her claim that she is a great leader. Thanks jazusamo.

P.S. -- what is Ilhan Omar's FR nick?

[Calvin Locke]

There are fewer American Democrats than the last time she was speaker. Back then, she was going to put impeached Federal judge Alcee Hastings on the Intelligence committee.

Hastings was taking bribes for rulings.

Somebody pointed out to SanFranNan that perhaps Hastings would then be taking bribes for intelligence info.

And that the optics would look bad, regardless of the any kickbacks he could provide.

[1Old Pro]

The bad guys don’t need spies, they have a pipeline into our secrets thanks to reckless appointments like this.

[jazusamo]

Yep, and she had more than the few brain cells she has now on her last fling as Speaker.

[jazusamo]

You’ve got that right, FRiend!

Meet the Muslim Democrat Congressman with a stranglehold on your safety and security.

Here's the shocking list of Congressional committees under the control of Indiana Democrat Andre Carson.

NOTE--The DNC places a price on these committees---Congressman wishing to be placed on the committee pay up front. Where did Muslim Carson get the money to get on these highly sensitive committees? Is Carson funneling Islamic cash into the DNC? Do his Indiana constituents know Carson bought these seats?

REFERENCE----Pelosi to name first Muslim lawmaker to House intelligence committee
By LAUREN FRENCH 01/13/2015 01/13/2015

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced in a closed-door meeting Tuesday she would name the first Muslim lawmaker to the House’s Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. A senior Democratic aide said Rep. André Carson of Indiana would be named in the “coming days” to the key national security-focused panel. Pelosi (D-Calif.) told lawmakers of the appointment during the members’ weekly caucus meeting.

Carson would be the first Muslim to serve on the committee and was the second Muslim to be elected to Congress. He already serves on the Armed Services Committee and worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center — the clearinghouse established by the federal government to streamline data sharing between the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice and the military.

The intelligence committee will most likely tackle a series of high-profile international crises during the 114th Congress, including the threat of Islamic militants and Ukraine.

Carson’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment. The announcement comes in the wake of last week’s terrorist attack by Islamic extremists and subsequent shootouts with police that left 17 people dead. World leaders gathered on Sunday for a 1 million person “solidarity” protest against the violence that targeted French Jews and journalists.

It’s not REALLY backlash, unless it comes from her own party. Hellooo? Helllloooo-oooo?

[marajade]

Why on earth do Jewish people in the US think the Democratic party supports them?

[jjotto]

First, note that all committees supervise many billions of dollars and do great harm.

Not sure if the House is exactly the same, but in the Senate every new member gets a seat on one of the ‘big’ committees.

In the House, Foreign Relations isn’t considered one of the most desirable. Ways & Means, and Appropriations, along with Energy & Commerce are the coveted House committees. Financial Services is not a top committee either.
