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.

Wow! Chelsea's actually had more sex with her husband than Hillary did with Bill. I bet Hill's not too pleased. More babies means having to split the family's ill-gotten gains more ways than planned.
The Daily Mail is an enemy...
I found it! Thanks.

Thank U thank U thats the one!
The Daily Mail is a tawdry filth bucket with bad teeth, an unhealthy obsession with rich dysfunctional entitled people, and pimple squeezing. Every now and then they break a story, or give us the gory details the U.S. media won’t touch, but by and large, it’s the lowest common denominator of trash tabloid ‘news’.
And the left shouldn't have any problem with the President's words since female muzzies get treated far worse by muzzie men, and the libs don't seem to have any problem with that.
I dare any journalist to ask her if she's undergone genital mutilation.
Today is her ten year wedding anniversary! Coincidentally, it is also her brothers ten year wedding anniversary. https://i.redd.it/5al4ktdpn5g21.jpg
But can she moonwalk?
Push their buttons. Push their buttons.
Here’s the bottom line with Ilhan Omar.
She’s from the Minnesota’s 5th District. Think Berkeley with snow. I used to live in that district. It’s always had a liberal bent to it but in the last 20 years, it has headed progressively further and further left. Let’s put it this way - the Democrat Party’s main competition in that district is the Green Party.
The people who voted for her in the Democrat primary last summer - well, they knew who the hell they were voting for. It was no great secret about the allegations that she married and divorced her brother in order to get asylum here. She schmoozed the liberal Jews in the district by promising to be fair-minded but one look at her older tweets told you that she was gonna be anything but fair-minded.
Keith Ellison (aka Keith X) was my member of Congress for a number of the years I lived in the 5th District. When he first ran for Congress in 2006, I crossed over and voted in the Democrat primary for another guy. Yeah, this guy was liberal but he was as Jason Lewis once described him, a liberal you could do business with. He lost to Ellison
I never thought that I’d see someone actually worse than Keith Ellison - but god forbid, it has happened.
So apparently we need foreigners to come to our country to tell us who we should or shouldn’t support. The day she takes off that blanket she’s wearing and dresses like an American is the day I start giving a damn what she thinks.
Great! An MN is full of Somali ‘tards too.
All Jihadi’s as well...
Tell me about it. Why are we not only importing Sharia supremacists into the USA but installing them into Congress?? WTF? And her first order of biz is to attack our #1 ally in the middle east?
All three of those nitwits.
She should be deported for immigration fraud.
Let her stay on and say something FAR WORSE to use against dems in 2020.
I suggest that you cannot be antisemitic yet like Jewish folks in America.
Israel is a nation built firmly upon a religion even if it is not a theocracy.
If you hate Israel, you likely hate Jews everywhere is my assumption, just an assumption because I could be completely wrong. But I don’t think so.
It’s not a big deal because they only make up 2 percent of the voting population here, but I can’t imagine being Jewish and voting for the dem party.
I’m Catholic and I can’t imagine Catholics voting for the dem party.
Come to think of it, I can’t imagine anyone that believes in ANYTHING that the constitution has to say voting democrat!!
............nauseating......
“So apparently we need foreigners to come to our country to tell us who we should or shouldnt support.”
That’s how the Fraud did it....
