Now Trump says new Rep. Ilhan Omar should RESIGN and calls her 'unequivocal' apology 'lame' after Democratic leaders blasted lawmaker for using 'anti-Semitic tropes'
Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, is one of two Muslim women elected to Congress
She apologized for using anti-Semitic tropes in a tweet
President Trump tore into the new lawmaker from Air Force One
'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,' she wrote
Omar, a Somali-American, is also a fierce critic of Israel
Speaker Pelosi and all the Democratic leadership called on Omar to apologize
On Sunday, Omar responded to a Twitter post by journalist Glenn Greenwald, who criticized a GOP lawmaker for attacking Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib
Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader, said Omar and Tlaib are 'worse than Steve King,' the GOP lawmaker who has made racist comments
Omar responded to Greenwald's tweet slamming McCarthy for trying to silence anti-Israel speech
'It's all about the Benjamins,' Omar tweeted, which some interpreted as an anti-Semitic trope about Jews who use money to ensure support for Israel
Rep. Jerold Nadler called her words 'hurtful and offensive'
Her own committee chair Rep. Eliot Engel also called out the comments
Other Jewish Democrats also slammed her comments
Chelsea Clinton criticized Omar for what some perceive as promoting anti-Semitism
Omar responded to Clinton, offering to speak with her to discuss the issue further
President Donald Trump turned up the pressure on Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar Tuesday, demanding the first-term lawmaker resign over her Twitter comments that many of her own colleagues called anti-Semitic.

Make the enemy live up to their own rules...
Trump needs to have her immigration papers scrutinized with a microscope.
That racist tard’ aint lame. She’s stupid. Her handlers just know how to repair the damage based on the language they used afterwards. It’s obvious it didn’t come from this mental midget.
Omar, a Somali-American, is also a fierce critic of Israel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, which one is she? She was elected to represent the US, not somalia.
Trump was right, her apology IS lame.
She needs to go.
Maybe if we can talk her into using chlorine gas on herself we can get the President to bomb Congress!
What does one comment in that tweet have to do with the other? Man, those Muzzies really ARE ‘that much smarter’ than me! ;)
‘Chelsea Clinton criticized Omar for what some perceive as promoting anti-Semitism...’
Wonder how much time ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ spends with her half-Jewish Grandbabies? I understand there’s ANOTHER on the way, Granny Pickles!
Is it just me, or does there seem to be a helluvalot of dissent and infighting among the Dems these days?
*SMIRK*
Now he's targeting another freshman dumbass congress chick. I love it.
All the Big Media Freaks who can pronounce the word are reporting that she “unequivocally apologized”.
So there. It’s all over and good to our domestic enemies.
I wonder if she’s been coached enough yet to unequivocally call Jerusalem al quds like FraudCo unequivocally did.
She is going on right ahead with her anti-Semitism. If she keeps this up, Pelosi might make her apologize again. And again. And again.
Lather, Rinse. Repeat.

Just deport her to Gitmo.
A muzzie can’t serve in Congress anyway.
Omar, a Somali-American, show us your papers bitch!
She’s married to her OWN BROTHER..does anyone here actually believe she is banging her brother of course not..it was all a con so she could enter the country and get her green card..deport her ass..also seeing on twitter she was arrested in 2013 for resisting arrest
“...expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity,’ she wrote.”
Never will she even think about resigning. She will forever be the self-proclaimed victim and thus feel justified screaming her radical extremest thoughts.
