A Twitter message posted Saturday by U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has revived accusations of anti-Semitism against the freshman congresswoman and member of the far-left “Squad.”
The remark, posted ahead of Omar’s scheduled appearance at a CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) event in Washington, also drew a response from tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who accused Omar of “assigning labels.” Omar’s defenders, however, claimed that charges of anti-Semitism against her were overblown, and that Omar’s critics were “obsessed with every word Ilhan says or tweets.”

Early Saturday afternoon, Omar reacted to a news report that said businessman Leon Cooperman had decided to back billionaire Michael Bloomberg for president. Both men are billionaires and Jewish. “I wonder why?” came Omar’s response, which included a “thinking” emoji.
You can take Omar out of Somalia, but cannot take Somalia out of Omar.
“Omar’s defenders, however, claimed that charges of anti-Semitism against her were overblown, and that Omar’s critics were “obsessed with every word Ilhan says or tweets.””
Yeah, I’m sure they are sooooooo nuanced when it comes to slinging around stuff like this at others.
WOW!!
How can you NOT see what it was intended to mean?!?!
Her HATRED overcomes all. obama must be dying. You’re supposed to PRETEND and LIE every step of the way!!
Like he said, he would consider his presidency a failure if the Iran deal wasn’t good for Israel :)
This statement is more biased than when I said John Gotti was a dock worker and never committed a crime in his life :)
It always amazes me that lefties invite muslims into a country, and then can’t figure out why there is a rise in anti-semitism.
Someone should throw a shoe at this worthless woman.
Omar isn’t an “antiSemite.” She just hates Jews and Israel.
Curious. It seems to me it is a question worth asking. In the 60s the question “Is America ready for a Catholic President” didn’t even raise eyebrows. It was a SERIOUS question.
> It seems to me it is a question worth asking. <
But here’s the thing. Omar used a question mark in her tweet. But she is not asking a question. She is making a statement. And her statement is: I’m not surprised to see that one Jew is mindlessly backing another Jew.
Martina hates assigning labels. Big deal. For that she gets top billing.
There is no "left".
There is only "far left".
Demoncrat party = Communist party = NAZI party = satan's party
