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.

How can she remain? She has to go.
She should resign NOW.
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck.
I love our President. Now all of the kneejerk liberals who first came out criticizing her will go back on record defending her all because President Trump rightly gave her a smack down.
Waterboard a real apology out of her!!!
She is a member of an inbred group that is stuck in the 7th century,
Every word out of her mouth is TAQIYYA...
The Muslim teaching that says you lie to your enemy.

Let’s face it skilled handlers are very important for helping inexperienced politicians repair their damage. Of course, being willing to listen to them is also important.
