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.

85? Yeah, she’s qualified for Congress alright.
True. Obama did it for 8 years. Why not her?
How convenient. No mention of CAIR as lobbyists.
So what? A little hysteria and then something else will happen. Then she will become a hero for having politically survived the earlier uncalled for attacks with such grace and determination.
For the people of course.
I hope she stays and gets a committee chairmanship.
This racist is a gift to the gop
Bullet in Head from a fast and furious rifle..to hell with this form of bs freedom..we want the law, we want the constitution, sadly there no longer is either..we know where it is going, Trump should surround a sanctuary city and clean out the illegals and move city to city until they are all gone, no mercy, they had none for our citizens..
Really? Married to her own brother?
This story just gets stranger and stranger.
I am with the President - RESIGN, you Jew/Israel hating bxxxx.
It was obviously an immigration scam so she could gain citizenship but honestly, marrying her own brother, even though it was a scam, she couldn’t have hired someone off of craigslist LOL
Exactly!!!!
LOL!
Electron... endoscope up the wazoo!
House Minority Whip Scalise renews call for Pelosi to remove Rep. Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee: “Rep. Ilhan Omar should not be allowed to received classified briefings on Israel.”
CHuckkle .. she says “role in OUR politics...”
What’s this “our” stuff, foreigner...
She’s likes to go off about the Jews?
I’ll remind her that it wasn’t Jews who flew aircraft into the World Trade Center and murdered 3,000 of MY countrymen.
It was her folk that did it.
OK maybe I’m looking at this a little jaded. But perhaps liberal Jews and leftists in Congress like Schumer should be more discriminatory and wise in who they fight for and prefer immigrating into America. Seems to me they far prefer her religious ilk over average American patriots with a Christian heritage that they like to call the “Deplorables”, that would not be as anti-Israel.
She is a muzzie. Hating and killing Jews is what they do.
“More babies means having to split the family’s ill-gotten gains more ways than planned.”
If I were Webb Hubbles’ kid, I’d take those GRIFTERS, who used me as a PROP, for all they’re worth. ;)
*SMIRK*

There he goes again, disrespecting a woman of color, an immigrant, a Muslim, just because she despises Jews. The Franklin babies must have gotten to him.
