Nancy Pelosi and top Democrats are confronting a new controversy this week involving freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has defied her colleagues’ calls to apologize for recent comments viewed as anti-Semitic

Speaker .

Members of the Democratic caucus spent the weekend privately debating how to handle the freshman’s latest controversy involving accusations of anti-Semitism. Just three weeks earlier, Pelosi and her top lieutenantsof Omar’s previous remarks that suggested pro-Israel groups were using their financial heft to shape U.S.-Middle East policy.

“We urge you and your colleagues to send the unambiguous message that the United States Congress is no place for hate,” the group’s CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, wrote in a letter.to oust Omar from her coveted spot on the House Foreign Relations Committee. But Omar has received support from prominent progressive figures, including fellow freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib — the first Palestinian-American congresswoman, who has also strongly argued that U.S. policy toward Israel should be overhauled. Another popular progressive, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , has also come to Omar's defense.she had been “targeted just like many civil rights icons before us who spoke out about oppressive policies.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Was she inaccurate? So much hullabaloo over a woman speaking the truth. Why is commenting on the government of Israel taboo? We need to talk about it

Are you kidding me? They now make up the roles as they go? Why do we have people like this in office? These people are representing the folks of America. The country out grandfathers and fathers fought for? Fuck her!

How did IlhanMN and RepAOC vote?

You havent noticed that anyone that does not agree with Israel is considered anti-semitic? What happened to real journalism! So it’s okay for Israel to continue killing Palestinians just because they feel like it? That is hateful, evil, and a form of bullying!

Like a hole in the head!!

They are too soft on OMAR. They always protect themselves but WE pay their salaries.

I don't think antisemitic is the term to describe her comments. Divisive? Yes. Layered in some truth? Yes. But not antisemitic.

Let this be a lesson for you sheep. I don’t care if it’s Left wing or right wing they all are puppets for the Zionist and will continue to look the other way while Israel continues to slaughter the aborigines of that country.

Using a Muslim woman as a scapegoat for their own bigorty. Predictable.

BS

Remove Omar or lose the party!

Funny nobody seemed to do that s*** after all the other attacks that happened to Jewish people everyday

If this passes I will not vote for anyone voting for it in 2020.

What we have here is a Failure To Assimilate!

Democrats have only themselves to blame. They have jumped into bed with supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah. They continue to associate with anti-semites and bigots like Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

RemoveIlhanOmar She is unfit and AntiSemetic. She does not represent the American people or our country in any way or form.

Calling out a country for their policies & actions shouldn’t be considered anti-Semitic. She didn’t criticize the Jewish faith or condemn Jews, she criticized the government of Israel. There are many of criticisms Israel is guilty of, just like Palestine. Too many innocent deaths

This is what happens when the enemy is let in the House....

Pelosi fails the Jews....I hope all Jews see the New Democrat Left as who they really are. Jews need to pull their vote and send the LEFT a message!

Criticizing Israel — and its influence on US Congress — is NOT anti-Semitic. Dissent is Patriotic. Ilhan ABC AP

What a hypocrite, her defiance shows how much of a Bigot she actually is.

I will work to get out of office every Dem who votes against her.

Impeach Ilhan send her home to Somali

SpeakerPelosi is losing control of the house. She is being over run by the freshman and hamas. It’s fun to watch

If Israel was not a Jewish state, we wouldn't be talking about anti-Semitism here.

TezlynFigaro I guess Steve King gets a pass huh SpeakerPelosi

Nettaaaaaaaa That's because they weren't antisemitic. Trump supporters shooting up a synagogue is antisemitic. Spray painting Swastikas on the houses and cars of Jews is antisemitic. Conspiracy theories that claim George Soros backs anything remotely considered leftists is antisemitic.

It is illegal to have this on the House floor! Democrats had better rescind this before it causes a firestorm of retribution.

This is all staged bullshit! It’s a steppingstone to infringe FIRST AMENDMENT!

She has nothing to apologize for because her comments aren't anti-semetic. Why aren't they condemning islamophobia?

Her comments are not ‘viewed as’ anti-Semitic. They 100% ARE anti-Semitic.

We don't want her apologies, we want her OUT

I don't give a damn about your apologies. Just remove yourself from my government.

Oh what a feckless leader

As long as my rights to free speech and being able to bash Muslims and Allah are also not infringed upon! The ignorance in the Dem party runs rampant!

I will not accept this bigots forced apology.

Never Forget 9/11

This is why anti Americans need to stay in their own countries, change their laws, and not come here changing lawsin books for centuries, demand they do as they want. Where’ in your region is it ok to take a hajbi off? But here you come changing laws here. Sorry stay in Somalia

The left today. None of what they offer is American.

She's plainly telling everyone who she is and what she stands for. They should take her at her own words and then punt her off of our Foreign Relations Comm.

APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT THE TRUTH

TezlynFigaro Islamofascist.

Nice! Knock her down some pegs

Why make her apologize? It's not sincere if it's forced. Get her off the foreign committee immediately.

Remove Omar. No one has tie for her insubordination to America

Officially done as a Dem. Spend time doing real bills that make a impact on all our lives.

Omar was right. Nothing anti-Semitic here.

antisemite

Throw her out, what a racist.

The only way to fight this is to Boycott Israel Product. Both Democrats & Republicans are one Party Trust me

Did I miss something? This article says she used “vile slurs.” I haven’t seen anything other than her questioning the relationship of our country with one accused of human rights violations. Narrative seems a bit skewed...

Below are vicious anti-Srmites. Please, patriots join me in blocking reporting each as such. Don’t be distracted by their blah blah blah

The voice of Somalia.

'Viewed as anti-Semitic?' They WERE anti-Semitic

She needs to be removed from office

IStandWithIlhanOmar ✊🏻

Whoever voted for the lady? Nutcase.

Whoever voted for lady? Nutcase.

Exodus2019 Send her to Israel to make her speeches.

RESIGN!!

omar reminds me of the regime I was forced to escape in my birthland turned into jihadist-land, Iran. They were meek when powerless & became hate-ridden TOXIC lunatics when in power. In Iran too they rode to power on wings of leftists & thn destroyed them all to consolidate power

What did she say? All the sources I look at say “She said a vile slur that was anti-Semitic” then says she questioned our Ally Israel and that that’s not good. Nobody is stating what she actually did or didn’t say so how can I have an opinion on this? Questioning allies is fine.

IsraelMFA was created by an idiot miniature poodle who never renounced his kkk membership. Yet took great joy USA charters of UGLE_GrandLodge Freemasonry2day had awarded him every honor an anti'HiramAbiff60 degree our BlackSocialists socialistworker Vs SteveForbesCEO had.

The boot !

She doesn’t belong.

Removed from all committees right now! She needs to be removed if this happens once more! If this was a republican people would be talking 24/7. Its called dem privilege and just look at Virginia!

Just loving how everyone in this thread zeroed in on the anti semitism part and totally ignored the fact she sympathizes with and fundraises for terrorist related orgs that want Anerica destroyed. HELLO?!?

Send her back to Somalia.

The path of Islam is always the same. Disrupt the host nation and disobey the laws.

This is only the beginning. The Democrats will destroy the country!

The GOP wants the Democrat’s to sanction Omar for stating her point of view .If what Omar said isn’t telling the true.Then it should be proven to have no merit. But, if the USA ties 2 Israel are such;that the we turns a blind eye to Israel’s treatments, of the Palestinians people

OMAR OUT CONGRESS THIS IS AMERICA

Don't apologize. They don't apologize to us.

She don’t need to issue no apology. IlhanMN you keep your head up high girl

Interesting, how HouseDemocrats bullying IlhanMN for AIPAC money.

BillyBoysDaddy IlhanMN will receive a slap on the wrist only! SpeakerPelosi appears afraid of her or else she’s become weak to everyone but our President! I will be stunned if after all my petitions and all others anything of any circumstance will become of this, ... sadly.

What will it take for Jewish Democrats to wake up and WalkAway?

This shit is ridiculous and everyone knows we’re in bed with Israel. She’s right and ‘anti-semitism’ is just another serious accusation thrown around just to stir the bullshit pot.

SpeakerPelosi is wrong. IStandWithIlhan

Of course she hates Israel, There is always a stupid “holy war” intention, and now its inside the United States like never before.

it's funny how if i don't support a muslim politician i'm islamaphobic. i judge people based on their character💃

Further proof that we are out of balance in this country. Kids making swastikas out of keg cups for beer pong is anti-Semitic. Denying/supporting the holocaust is anti-Semitic. This phone autocorrecting me to something else everytime I try to spell anti-Semitic is anti-Semitic.

mollyday15 If a member of Congress is allowed to opening spew hate and racism without consequences... Then she gets what she gets.

Israel not equal to Judaism!!!

She needs to be removed!! This is exactly why we had a law preventing Muslims from serving in our government. They do not conform to the American ideals. And their belief systems are radically different than ours....and dangerous. 9/11 ring a bell to anyone?

Why is stating the truth anti semitism? What a joke!

DUALITY; a true Muslim did not have to apologize to infidels. Islam sees jihad as the means of creating peace by subjugating all others and enforcing Islamic order.

I can’t believe how hateful this woman is. She does not deserve a seat in the House.

Still don't understand how this person was elected

I kinda would...in this pic only though jthanson7

They are only doing this to get the Jewish vote. JewsforTrump

Any criticism of any kind about Israel seems to automatically get labeled as anti-Semitic. They’ve somehow gotten the same get out of jail free card as the House of Saud.

Buh bye!

She is right!

Who the hell voted for her

Human garbage

i question blind loyalty i support israel’s right of sovereignty and the palestinians (P) right of sovereignty it’s historically clear israel has infringed on P human rights similar to what we are now doing on our southern border

TunnelRatRanger Yet still fail to do anything but shuffle some paper with words on it. She needs to be removed from Foreign Relations immediately.

She’s just so fresh, so face! Right benshapiro Seriously though what a nasty person. It’s sickening

Give her a one way ticket back to HER country, get the hell out of MINE! 🇺🇸

IStandWithIlhan *not* TheDemocrats or AIPAC

SpeakerPelosi if this happens, many Democrats will sit out 2020. Democrats really know how to mess up. Too self righteous to play the political game. So out of touch. Where’s BarackObama - the only Democrat who knows how to win. DNC

TezlynFigaro It’s time for Pelosi, Hoyer and any other old democratic politician to be primaried and sent home. They have all been bought by AIPAC and that is not good, we literally have politicians who are supporting a state sponsored apartheid.

I still dont understand how what she said was anti-Semitic. Unless I missed something she was talking about lobbyists for Israel, nothing related to the definition of anti-Semitism.

The face of a blue blooded American.... progress liberal style

Liberalism is a mental disorder. Political correctness kills....

Zionism is anti-Semitic. It is unreasonable to equate Zionism with Judaism. Many American Jews support Palestine and an end to apartheid there.

I love this lady! Shes helping trump!

This Bi-eotch needs to be told WE ARE AMERICA !!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I feel as though the more people go after her, the more they prove her point? How come you can criticize any foreign country Except Israel? This reeks of self interest and not antisemitism freespeach

Dems need to grow some balls. This is the reason we have Trump in office, because they didn't fight back.

IStandWithIlhanOmar This is ridiculous, it's disgusting and wrong, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. In NO WAY is what she said anti-semetic. Criticizing Isreal is NOT anti-semitism. To say that it is makes them immune from anything. Like the genocide they're committing.

AIPAC Is terrorizing and blackmailing members of Congress, they have to be dismantled Now. IStandWithIlan dismantleAIPAC

This guy said a lot of hateful s*** about the Jews also

Importing such exotic fauna was not expected to yield these results when its sponsors schemed to swamp the West with the the ThirdWorld in the GreatReplacement

She did nothing wrong. She stated facts. AIPAC pays politicians to be pro Israel.

What a strange couple of months it's been for the Democratic Party, Democrats in the state of Virginia dressing up in blackface, this woman and her openly anti-semitic beliefs,

Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic!

As usual, the Democrats begin eating their own to appease the Republican spin machine.

Maybe it's me, but if I was a devote Muslim newly elected to Congress, the last thing I'd want is to be branded an antisemite. IlhanMN's preoccupation with Israel and her antizionist leanings will only drive voters away from the DemocraticParty and toward the GOP.

The enemies of our Republic want a race war. They need us to hate one another so they can push their perverted and hateful agenda. MAGA Trump Conservatives ccot Christianity 2ADefenders PreachersPatriots POTUS2020 DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica QAnon 2020Election 2A

The ol’ Keep The Tap Flowing resolution.

If democrates do this I will hound them by placing calls all day long to each member of Congress! She said nothing wrong! Democrates get your act together! You are heading in the wrong direction! Don’t let me regret my vote!

Oh boy

Somali-American, Pakistan American. No they are AMERICAN.

She is as anti Semitic as they get.

Really great look for Democrats. Crucifying the first outwardly observant Muslim ever elected in their caucus. Should go over really well with Muslims.

It’s not antisemitism, it’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The jews that survived the holocaust only attacked military targets. Today, civilians are subjected to crimes against humanity. Eventually the settlements will be forcefully returned ensuring even more conflict.

Let her speak

Antisemitism, racism, sexual assault. AntiAmericanism......Brought to you by the new and improved Democratic Party 🖕

Suspend for one month from the position.

Kick her butt out

We should all be respectful of others, particularly those in power should set an example. Do not do unto others what you would no like done to you.

let pelosi know this is bogus imwithIlhan press 4 for a live human

She needs to step down

The time for being able to apologize has come and gone. She has to go.

She's still on probation, remove her.

AOC i thought democrats were changing. Yet the top brass bickers with themselves over pointless and blown-out-of-proportion issues? Maybe instead of voting against Ilhan(its clearly cuz shes Muslim and new) the House should listen to what she actually said

What if she's right?

Good. Omar's anti-Semitic rhetoric is unacceptable

Israel/Jewish gagging US from talking about them is absurd and UnAmerican.

mimizelman SpeakerPelosi doing this is a shame TeamPelosi democrats

She's a democratic Muslim ... Who I don't TRUST

Terrorist Alert: She is here illegally, married her brother to obtain citizenship. Lockherup

IlhanMN needs to be removed from committees. How can we hold racist Republicans accountable if we accept blatant anti-semitism from a Democrat. If she’s truly sorry, she’ll be re-elected and given another chance but for now, SpeakerPelosi needs to be firm!

This is mockery of the US Constitution..all should have equal rights on freedom of speech..sad day for America.

IStandWithIlhan

As a democrat, I’d like to know when you all started leaning right?

This is bullshit! You expose yourself as a propaganda mill by characterizing Omar ‘s critique as attacking Jews generally and their religion specifically. She criticized persons who support Zionism and the apartheid policies of the Israeli government. Judaism is irrelevant.

Soon anyone who criticizes Russia will be held accountable for russiaphobia?

Need to throw her sorry butt out of Congress. She’s a total embarrassment to the country!! She is a hateful and spiteful minded woman!! Of course this is the Muslim way, hate the Jew, hate America and hate freedom!! Vote her out!!

She seems evil

WHEN YOU HAVE A BLACKFACEKKK GOVERNOR IN VIRGINIA RalphNortham HIS WIFE GIVING COTTON TO AA KIDS BLACKFACE AG VA MarkHerringVA RAPISTX2 VA LT GOV LGJustinFairfax YOU ARE WHAT AT THIS? DNC CLEAN YOUR HOUSE!

She needs to be booted out of Congress.

Seriously F you Pelosi on this one. How is any of what Omar is saying actually anti-Semitic? She’s commenting about the plight of Palestinians against a fascist government. It’s free speech! Deeply disappointed in Dems for making this an issue.

This is not addressing it HouseDemocrats This is cowering from the much deserved criticism of AIPAC and the pervasive problem of Islamophobia.

Resolution means nothing unless she is taken off foreign policy committee.

I’m not defending anything the congresswoman said - but why are we holding this woman to a different standard than the president?

Welcome to America now 🤮🤮🤮

Where was all the outrage when she was pushing for a lenient sentence for members of Isis? That was okay?

you mean they're *creating* controversy.

🇺🇸 Reparations In 2020 Or Let’s Leave Trump In Office! He hasn’t hurt the Black Community like Bill Clinton Did With The 90’s crime Bill= Mass Incarceration. Obama did Nothing About it, Bernie Sanders is Against Reparations, But Trump Signed The Biggest Reform Bill In History?

You cannot Violate the constitution of all Americans over one woman’s comments! ACLU

This is a joke. These House Dems are part of the problem, and using this as an opportunity to smear Ilhan. SpeakerPelosi you continue to disappoint IStandWithIlhanOmar

The New Democratic Party.

Wow, really but the actual white supremacists in the House can continue on their merry way. Its not a controvey it became one bc GOP members and AIPAC for facts. So cry me a river...she gets death threats and called a terrorist but talking about money is the hill to die on?

There's no apology good enough. Out with her hating ways.

I looked for these vile anti-Semitic slurs in her statements against the Jewish people and/or religion, but all I find is criticism of Israeli politics, lobbyists, and violence against Palestinians- concerns that even Orthodox Jews or pro two-state solution politicians can share.

This. Is. Wrong.

Well well well, Why won’t DemocRats apologize for corruption?

Criticizing Israel is not anti-semitism

She said nothing wrong

The Dems are raking IlhanMN over the coals, yet Jim_Jordan tweeted this ACTUAL anti-Semitic garbage and no Republicans are calling for accountability from him. This is why Dems always lose; we eat our own and Republicans don’t.

It's not a controversy if it's factual

Why do anti-semites gravitate to the Democratic Party?

I have a question what about all the attacks she's getting

Are house Democrats against free speech?

Omar might have to resign if she keeps saying anti Israel and antisemitic stuff. Her faith makes her biased against Jews and Israel.

You know what the leadership of Israel is as corrupt as Trump. IT IS NOT anti-Semitic to point that out. This girl and several others are being harassed and it needs to stop!

SpeakerPelosi DNC Criticizing AIPAC , or Israeli policy towards Palestine is NOT anti-Semitic. It is about human rights abuse. I stand with IlhanMN

NitaLowey should be the one apologizing

Exactly what the GOP wants...

Perhaps those top Democrats might direct some of their attention toward the WVGOP, who displayed a poster of Ilhan in front of the 9/11 attacks, instead.

IlhanMN please be careful you are loved and admired don’t talk too much you want to be re-elected remember to pick and choose your WARS don’t be loud and out of control get ahold of yourself if people didn’t care we would not say a thing to you

I'm sorry, but you can be critical of Israeli policies and not be anti-Semitic.

'agonize' How you can be objective without being. It had to be Politico.

SpeakerPelosi DNC HouseDemocrats I regularly criticize Israeli settlements and treatment of Palestinians; that does not make me anti-Semitic. I also regularly criticize the Saudi Wahhabi version of Islam, and that doesn't make me anti-Semitic either. Semitic means wanderers.

Why isn’t she investigated for committing immigration fraud for marrying her brother so he could stay in the country? BTW... They just celebrated their anniversary of the fraudulent marriage. ICEgov SecNielsen TheJusticeDept DHSgov IlhanMN SpeakerPelosi

Are they 'agonizing'? Good. They and you are endlessly absurd. Millions stand with IlhanMN

Liberals can do and say whatever they want. They have a different standard than others.

All you tweeting 'Gym', the wrestlers/accusers recanted their story. yawn...

Knew it was a snake when they let it in.

Israel is the Center of a Target used by Anti-semites. It is both founded as Jewish State and an Ally of the United States. Clearly, and by her past representations Ilhan Omar targets Israel because she is targetting, not just another Country, rather the Jewish People's Core.

She has the racist Tlaib and the moron Ocasio-Cortez on her side. That should help. The Democrat Party is a disaster.

Forced confession?

Leave her alone. Democrats stop showing weakness

Good for Rep. Omar. Israel is slow poison to the US.

Send her back to ISIS!

1. Trump called Jewish RepAdamSchiff “shifty” ZERO OUTRAGE from same Dems ZERO stories from Politico 2. JimJordan called out Jewish donor Tom Steyer out by replacing the S im his name with a $. ZERO OUTRAGE from same Dems ZERO stories from Politico

Pretty sure what IlhanMN said has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Perhaps we need to refresh ourselves on the definition. Per Merrium-Webster Definition of anti-Semitism. : hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group.

The worship of Israel in congress must end. It is now a paraiah state, existing on stolen land maintained with /American weapons.

America needs to understand what IlhanMN represents. It is the same failed multiculturalism that has plagued & is destroying Europe. People that came to US , not to assimilate and be American but to set up camps of their own embedded in America. Call it out for what it is

A dem basically spouting David Duke's lines and they are defending it. The things she has been saying are literally DD's entire platform. DD doesn't even talk about black people, he talks about Jews owning and controlling the US.

The old Guard is going to be in trouble. They don't know what they have created.

As a voter in NY17, I'm more concerned that Nita Lowey has failed to distance herself from the terrorists of Kach/Kahane Chai and Netanyahu's Likud coalition including them, although she's had many opportunities to do so.

Did I miss the politico article about Republicans' latest controversy with the West Virginia GOP or Jim Jordan ? Searched and I cannot find those articles.

Time to face the Truth - She is an anti-Semite. All this talk about 'diversity' and a 'place at the table' is BS. Kick her Jew-hating butt outta Congress!

The pro-Israel lobby does not allow dissent on Capitol Hill. This will be a real test. Do we live under a constitutional republic or will powerful interest groups dictate what speech will be allowed.

They want her to apologize but none of them are coming to her defense with being linked to 911 terrorists, amazing..

Now do Jim Jordan. And Mark Meadows.

Gym Jordan used a dollar sign to replace an S in someone's name. Any stories on that, Politico?

I grow weary of the 'anti-Semitism!' trope. It's just a political correctness propaganda label designed to hinder free speech and silence critics. Read George Washington's Farewell Address. The US is not supposed to be joined at the hip with ANY other nation. To do so is trouble

I sympathize with Speaker Pelosi. I used to teach high school sophomore girls. Always something.

Nancy.. shut em down you scolded D's for breaking ranks. how can you blame them when you don't protect one of our own, IlanOmar .. appeasing monsters doesn't work. all they see is fresh blood

She should be taken off the Foreign Affairs committee

She did nothing wrong and has no reason to apologize.

Omar was voted in by her constituency, they knew her views. Are they the thoughts and view of the US people? I believe not, we display tolerance.

Party politics. They are more concerned with their party than the nation. In that way, they are not much different than the Repubs. I respect her for having enough grit to be true to herself and say what she feels as opposed to kissing party ass and towing party lines.

She’s not even saying anything anti Semitic they just want her out because she’s an outspoken Muslim.

The truth is that the U.S. has no other allies in the Middle East anymore. If these new politicians really want to speak their mind about Isreal, they better find someone to replace Isreal. Otherwise they are just effectively ceding Middle East to Russian and China

She's not going to apologize. She is very vocal about her hatred for the Jewish people and Israel.

She has nothing to apologize for This is Republicans and the media trying to silence her Democrats should not be helping them!!

I’m loving these freshman democrats who are acting like immature little girls. Trump will use this as fodder in the next election to gain controls of the moderates

Are they going to stone her in the street, or just get stoned?

Can you begin to imagine the response from Demtards and the Dishonest Media if Omar was a Republican blathering such anti-semitic statements?

she's not wrong .. it's bullshit that every american politician is asked to salute another nation.

Focus on Trump.

Too much focus on various Democrats apologizing; already a couple have been needless, in my opinion. Any donors or groups wanting this can take the ball on their own.

This is about the 4th or 5th time you have retweeted this story. I can tell you from following it, that it has been savagely reviewed/refuted. I can only assume from that, that Politico by doing so, is pushing this in support of the republican agenda.

We don’t agonize over Rep Omar. She’s being smeared by the GOP just as they do to all democrats. But pick on a woman, a religious minority most especially.

Ben Franklin said it was all about him

Yes. Because this is a live issue that deserves debate. France advocates for laws saying anti-Israel is anti-Semitic. HouseDemocrats (actually SenateDems too), should actually discuss whether this is their opinion. If it is, pass a law. I’m sure you’d get GOP support for it

This is an absolute non issue. Shame on you media for continuing to beat this drum. A Muslin female of color, you just cannot help yourself from bashing her, can you

The Dems and the Far Right agree on more issues than they would like to admit.

IlhanMN already apologized and has support of Jewish friends and community SIT DOWN!

SpeakerPelosi you need to have IlhanMN's back! We HAVE to be able to talk about human rights abuses committed by the nation of Israel towards the Palestinian people without being called Anti-Semitic for doing so. Thank you Ilhan 3

Omar is saying what all the Democrats think. If a Democrat wins the White House they will attack Isreal, cut off the relationship and let them die....

What did she say that was wrong? Are pro-Israeli PACs not working o the interests of Israel?
