Making herself Louis Farrakhan's "sweetheart" as he put it, Rep. Ilhan Omar isn't going anywhere with the apologies on her third incident of anti-semitism. Farrakhan, you recall, didn't want Omar, whom he called "sweetheart" to apologize for those, and sure enough, she's not apologizing.
What I see instead in the miasma of tweets on Twitter, is a bid to deflect attention, with she and her supporters attempting to present the "narrative" of Omar as the "real victim," calling attention to a few bad actors, some anonymous, who've made threats against her and drawn a negative reaction and lawmen looking for them. Omar's anti-Semitism, however, is being permitted to stand. Here's her completely inadequate response to criticism from a reported mentor of the new class of far-leftists in Congress, Rep. Nita Lowey of New York
Omar responded to the criticism in a series of tweets Sunday.First, she replied to a tweet from Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., who wrote that "lawmakers must be able to debate" without "prejudice or bigotry."
"Our democracy is built on debate, Congresswoman! I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress," Omar tweeted.
There's no doubt about it, she wants that latest round of anti-Semitic remarks to stand.
And that raises questions about the Democratic leadership, whose House leader, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has said nothing, and done nothing to get this repeat-shill for Jew-hate off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Why is this woman still on it? She's made three violations now, and has stopped with the half-hearted apologies. She's not backing down, and Jewish groups are noticing. The GOP's Rep. Steve King, who made clumsy statements about white supremacy he says he never meant, got thrown off his committee assignments...

Bump!
both are equally as horrible- because when the world turns on israel, it will very likely be the end times, and all hell is going to break out-
God promised to bless the nations that support Israel- but ilhan is emerging as the face of the left that despise israel- and it will likely be very soon when they don’t even try to hate their seething anger for her any longer- We as a nation have been blessed for many many years- but IF we turn on Israel, that will all change-
Never, I hope. She is poisoning the DNC well.
The Dimm party is going even farther HARD LEFT and dumping the old-timers.

She is never going away....................
First, Steve King is a Republican so there are different and harsher rules for him. Second, I have no sympathy with those complaining about Omar’s Jew hatred because American Jews vote about 90% for Democrats at least partly in the mistaken belief that the Nazis were right wing. Also in the mistaken belief that big government is a better protector for them.
I agree, Pelosi is progressively becoming more infirm and the Rats know it.
Gee, a muslim that hates Jews? Yeah, that’s a great addition to an already dysfunctional congress.

Irony is in the decades after the 1940s many Jews in public life was seen in marches arm in arm with priests and ministers with Dr.Martin Luther King,
in parades honoring Italians and Irish who are Catholics in big cities including for Columbus Day
and a rabbi even went on annual speaking tours with Swami Satchidananda (who read the Woodstock benediction to start the festival) promoting all religious viewpoints (and Jewish leaders appear often alongside Christians in interfaith ceremonies in the temple at “Yogaville” in Pennsylvania) The followers at the temple today still have Islam honored along with Christianity and Judaism and Hinduism.
Can you remotely imagine Omar and Tlaib setting up an interfaith harmony session today? Promoting harmony and understanding while accepting each other’s different methods of worshiping God, as the Swami did? No.
When they exhaust themselves with anti-Semitic speeches they will certainly move on to how wrong Christianity is.
Bernie and AOC will join them as socialism/communism is their pseudogod placed before God. A start on breaking all the Commandments.
They got ahead of themselves by pushing murder of babies as “abortion.”
“were seen in marches” not “was”.
Remember that American Jews are not the ally in the Mideast, Israel is.
Yes, but American Jews vote here and support the Dems with most of their votes and billions of dollars.
Ihlan Omar no doubt thinks that America has too many armed “infidels” which must be dealt with.
We have an Islamofascist in Congress.
Nancy is afraid of Omar AND her fellow flying monkeys. She already knows that AOC is the fairest of them all.
omar’s religion condones her glib statements of lies and deceit.
Omar is a member of a protected class so therefore it will be never.
The fun part is watching the various groups in the Democrat party having their agendas start to clash with each other.
The new lunatics will hasten that debacle. They will also show sane people how crazy the Democrat party has become.
Rep. Ilhan Omar married her own biological bother!
I’m pretty sure nothing is going to shame her into apologizing for anything.
She represents Coon Rapids, MN. They like their porches up there.
I will politely disagree. Politicians in America should put our Country first before any foreign nation. They easily voted to send money for Israel but can’t bring themselves to spend money on building a wall to protect the citizens of this nation.
