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!”

Congress grants their own security clearances. Actual secret stuff is limited to the ‘Gang of Eight’ anyway.
Call me cynical, but democrats rarely get caught for ANY of their crimes, and if caught, they never pay a price. Debbie wasserman Schultz, Awan, and their merry band of conspiring Congress critters, giving away or selling our classified information, or DiFi and her Chinese spying attendant, being just small examples of untouched criminals.
I hear ya, it’s absolutely crazy.
What does the big jew Schumer have to say about this move by his friend peousy? Or is he following in the footsteps of his friend soros
“It will be news if the Jews in America ever do anything different. Otherwise, it’s just more of the same.”
The radical, leftist fake Jews are given a megaphone by the neo-nazi propaganda press, while normal Jews who support Israel and America are silenced and ignored.
Chuckie’s been pretty quiet the last couple days, it’s like he doesn’t want to get into Pelosi’s mess. :^)
She’s a anti-Israel trash....(that’s the best I can say about her )
Her driver will be Palestinian...she will hire him from SpiesRUs.
Well you have to admit marrying your brother does make for a pretty foreign affair.
= = =
Except, she Ain’t pretty.
Bookmarked.
This Moslims in high places is what happened in England. I suspect all Saud financed.
I just did a search (not google) on Omar.
She’s interesting in one way:
A REPUBLICAN COULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS NONSENSE.
And yet, here we are with more than enough nuts from the dims in our once proud House of Representatives to cause some trouble. I thank God, we, at least, have a strong man in the White House.
This woman belongs in Iran or Saudi Arabia to help her sisters in the struggle.
NOT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
You’re absolutely right.
Just think of the numbers of anti-American fruits and nuts in our country that it took to elect them, it’s definitely scary.
Make her an ambassador to Sudan and give her a $5 per diem.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Saudi would be better, there is a good chance she would get Khashogied.
A globalist move
Pandering to Islam
The GOPE only does this when they have no power to get anything done..
When they have the power, they do nothing.
At least the Washington Generals won a game against the Harlem Globetrotters.
When they have the power, they do nothing.
Dems are disgusting. They know that most Jews will vote democrat even though the dem party is willing to sacrifice them to the new and true love of the dem party. The dem party is willingly giving power to one specific group in return for loyalty, votes and money.
Far more fitting to assign her to the Porcine Affairs Committee.
