Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., defended colleague Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., amid criticism over tweets that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic.
On Sunday, Omar suggested on Twitter that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthys support for Israel was bought by groups like AIPAC. Her tweets were swiftly condemned on both sides of the aisle, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats.
Appearing on CNN, Rep. Connolly refrained from criticizing Omar and instead invoked Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, for his controversial remarks defending terms like white nationalism and white supremacy.

If they’re going to use the excuse of “she’s too young and inexperienced to know better” than to make outright anti-Semitic statements, then WHY THE F is she allowed to vote on matters of war and peace, tax and economic policy, social policy, etc., etc.?
She was also married to her brother. If you overlook that the whole anti-Semitism thing is not a big deal.
To be expected from Gerry Connolly, one of the most corrupt politicians in Virginia history.
(and that’s saying a lot, given the current fiasco in Virginia democrat politics)
She is only a muzzie.
No, they are going to circle the wagons. RATS are very loyal to one another.
Hopefully that will occur.
Thanks, GraceG!
At least she’s honest about how she feels about Jews, and it ain’t because she’s a Muslim. It’s because she knows there’s plenty of tolerance for antisemitism with the Democrat party.
On the other hand, she knows that she has to keep her feelings about Atheist drag queens to herself. She’s not that stupid.
Well, he probably meant “just a girl”, I would imagine he doesn’t expect much from women, because he’s a democrat, and that party mostly believes women need a lot of special protection and help.
She’s only freshman congresswoman? What is that supposed to mean? She hasn’t learned to lie well enough yet and cover up her antisemitism?
No, they are going to circle the wagons. RATS are very loyal to one another.
>>>Shes only a freshman`
Problem with that excuse, she’s a Muslim first before any other position. Even before a congress person.
Whomever voted for her should have considered that fact. Any American voting for a muzzie might as well join ISIS and should be treated as such.
Amen to that, she’s a genuine dim bulb. :^)
How about defending her because her “crime” was answering a question? She asked if there are large, deep-pocket organized groups that give large donations to pols who support Israel. Instead of labelling her, prove she’s wrong. If people stop asking questions, because it’ll get them labelled, it puts an end to freedom of speech and there’s no more dialogue about various view points. That effects freedom of independent, informed thinking. We’re all just pawns in their game if we go along with this framing from the ruling class.
Yeah - “Freshman” means she hasn’t been taught to not actually say what she thinks....I wonder if she takes offense at being called a fresh-man....
