Apparently the arguement for a second holocaust is 'just talking critical' nowdays

Some of the freshman Congress & the dems are alienating whites with reverse discrimination. I am a liberal Democrat & everything isn't our fault. ' whites did this & that '

Have you looked at Omar’s TL? She trolls somebody almost daily with sarcastic disrespectful tweets, usually white male GOP. She mocked Pence’s religion, accused Graham of being compromised, refers to Trump as Individual 1. Then retreats into victim status if they dare respond.

Cover this correctly. 'Omar is unjustly smeared by corrupt politicians on both sides.' She shouldn't have apologized.

Yeah weird how some of us take issue with anti-Semites

Oh so anti-semitism is now being critical towards Israel. Do you guys even journalism, bro

So she only apologizes when her own people throw a fit about it eh? 🤔 Sounds to me like she wasn't really sorry about what she said, she was just sorry she hurt the feelings of the people in the same echo chamber as her.

She made it at little *too* obvious this time.

I am sorry but Trump and republicans value Israel not the Democrats it Israel's leader is also corrupt and he also has problems with morals or humanity at their wall . Republicans are on a smear campaign on all Democrats it seems

THROW BOTH OF THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE! GET RID OF THEM!

I still don't get how people voted for her

socialmontoya...... Imamofpeace was right

No matter how the media spins Muslim rhetoric, all of them are beholden to their apostate religious beliefs that commands them to destroy the nation of Israel.

I support her

'Conservatives pounce' on common anti-semetic tropes about Jews being greedy manipulative puppetmasters who secretly contol major international events.

Is there an allegiance to Israel oath taken by US elected officials, and if so, why aren’t Israeli citizens paying taxes to the IRS? Enough with this bullshit already😡

They bend over backwards to accommodate her beliefs and she still can't be respectful of religious and ethnic diversity.

Well, when David Duke starts backing you up then you may be on the wrong side of things. She is an anti-semite. There is little to no push back on her for this from her own party.

Muslims hate everyone

Steve King removed from committee’s, republicans recommend he be censored and republicans plan to primary him out next. Will TheDemocrats take such a position against anti-semitism? All signs point to No. 150yrs and nothing changes. Bigotry is part of TheDemocrats platform

It's as if the gop was right all along.

Right. This is a GOP issue. Got it.

They were talking about a super PAC...

About time, take action now, censure, revoke committee appointments.

She gets a bit to excited and must calm down. The Dems don’t need this unnecessary embarrassment whilst still dealing with the mess in Viginia

Dems are really showing their racism lately.

“Attacked?” GOP “attacked her for her anti-Semite tweets?” The PATHETIC thing is YOU DO NOT “attack” her AT ALL.

POUNCE!!!!

Pelosi what is anti-Semitic about pointing out that donors may color your support of AIPAC ? What is anti-Semetic about pointing out the human rights abuses towards Palestinians? Abuse is abuse no matter the abuser.

Don't permit Republicans to wrap you up in typical GOP rhetoric. You know Israel acquires its way by purchasing a person's loyalty. That's a fact! The GOP has done this b4. Don't fall for it again.

There is a difference between critical views and anti-semitism.

They are terrorists! Why isn’t Omar investigated for immigration fraud for marrying her brother so he could stay in the country? ICEgov TheJusticeDept DHSgov SecNielsen

Why dont we let people say whatever they want and that way we can see their true intent?

How do you like your immigrants now, democrats? Lol

What more could we expect from a woman who married her brother. Allah will deduct points for that.

Not good enough!

I have some Jew Money that says she is a one term congresswoman

When you got david duke in your corner, you're doing something wrong. Everyone agrees with that.

IlhanMN and RashidaTlaib if you have hatred toward those who have hatred toward you, you are the same. Love of others knows no boundaries. Condemn the hate not the hater.

What you mean just like the GOP was honest and called out the Women’s March bigotry and antisemtism the GOP has done the same it Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib and like with the Women’s March the GOP criticism is accurate and warranted. Why does the media and Dems ignore it?!🤔

Pounce

Omar is an anti semite. Expect more of it.

'repeatedly attacked'

Huh? GOP has nothing to do w/ their anti-Semitic comments. Absolutely nothing. why not just admit you’re nothing more than pawns of the Democrat party. Stop conflating!

Because she is an anti-semitic you dolts

Once again, more worried about the reaction to her idiocy than the idiocy itself. Do your job correctly for a change.

. Now if the media like CNN MSNBC_Breaking and you would stop being apologists for racists, radical Islamic terrorist supporters and anti-semites, perhaps they would be held accountable.

Yes, that's what Antisemitism means. If you say you don't think Israel is a legitimate state, that, by DEFINITION is anti-Semitic.

Jesus Christ call it what it is for once. It’s antisemitism.

As they should!!! She is a disgrace to all Americans

These two racists are unteachable.

She's a bigot and fraud!

What do they say about ducks?

They r killing themselves.

If RIO & RRT were really concerned about campaign finance reform they would have structured their argument about $$ influence in its entirety instead of singling out one nation. If you also want to eliminate racism, don’t be a racist yourself.

Bebe own police says he’s a crook

Ilhan Omar, a sidekick of woman beater keithellison, is perpetuating taquiya and infecting the country with radical islamism. The Vikings are rolling over their graves to see Minnesotans turning into dhimmis of a child molester followers.

Should everybody be disgusted?

Someone needs to investigate her. Everything she says is pro terrorism.

Read this headline back to yourself. It reads as if you discount any criticism from the GOP as meritless only until a Democrat joins in. Why is that? Why not consider the merits of the criticisms on their face?

Alternate headline: Anti-Semite congresswoman scorned from both sides over latest tweet (if she was a conservative, I suppose)

Anybody accepts money from AIPAC or thinking, that Cult Organization has any right in U.S. politic is a traitor to Americans. When Anti-Islam messages are so pumped with Adrenalin, Anti-Semitism is just a fresh breathe of air to educate Americans about their rights.

e tu, politico? Why one cannot condemn the actions of a corrupt government and still love the people of Israel, is beyond me. Too many paint with broad brush.

I don't see how complaining about getting money from a pro-Israel can be anti-semetic, unless many Democrats are similarly funded and would like all of this to just go away.

Who is shocked by this? There’ll soon be an Islamic flag flying over the Minnesota capitol.

BREAKING: Dems are also beholden to their donors. Film at 11.

'Repeatedly attacked' while they were just innocently minding their own business, being vile anti-Semites. 🙄

🍿

Both are anti - Israel . Both are a cancer to our country . Both need to gone .

are those not israel flag color she wears ?

That’s because they are anti Semitic. Like what the right has been saying the whole time.

The fact that certain donors happen to be Jewish doesn’t mean the person complaining about the role of money in politics is anti- Semitic. Corporate & billionaire donations have poisoned our election process. I don’t care who the donor is, it’s $$ which has no religion/ethnicity.

And to think Boehner and Ryan thought the tea party was a pain in the ass. Nancy has it much worse

Had to add the REPUBLICANS POUNCE to it, didn’t ya? Everyone should be alarmed by these two. EVERYONE.

Why don’t RepJoshG and hear other people help the Venezuela citizens get their money back from being fronzen by realDonaldTrump end the embargo.This is a declaration of war to block all goods unless they install a puppet Prez that sells off their resources to Koch_Industries

Both parties favor Israel, so the Dems’ discomfort doesn’t additionally justify anti-BDS acts or speech silencing.

Antifa activist facing assault charges was tied to Democratic policymakers. The Clintons made 9/11 possible, so who is surprised by this? FoxNews

Scared of losing that pac money!

dnc you dig your own grave if you censor her. This is not anti-semetic... IlhanMN is criticizing politicians being bought and paid for by lobby groups. Would RepJoshG & ElaineLuriaVA care if she was not Muslim? What a crock of BS!! Attack her if you want... 2020

Is she gonna pass a law , so she can marry her brother legally

opinionsphere That's it, I'm following her, Rep. Ilhan Omar is in my que. LEAVE HER ALONE and let her speak!

They both need to be removed from office immediately they are a danger to America.

where is the anger toward...the ALT RIGHT WHITES ....IN THE GOP? that are Nazi in Nature and last I knew..sort of anti Semitic...

These two Anti-Semites keep proving that they are Anti-Semitic but your headline makes it seem like, somehow. the GOP is in the wrong here? What the actual heck?

Because some democrats enjoy the money. the only reason they are rebuking.

we are the US..right? not Israel..and we do have Separation of church and state right?

What fake news media calls “Critical” otters call it anti-Semitic or racist.

You don't see these two criticize Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah, Iran, etc. They don't criticize Israel anyway, they just parrot the same old, a million times debunked, talking point. They have no clue about Israel anyway, they're just Iran's propaganda tools. Nothing changes.

Yes, and while on this and embroiled in paint gate, lets talk about these democrats supporting racists that have said some extraordinarily racist statements. Like reverend write and louis Farrakhan. And Republicans are called racists?!! Demorats are the real racists

RepublicansPounce

She is not wrong

If US citizens are not allowed to disparage politicians who get massive contributions from billionaires, we are no longer a country of free speech. The first amendment is all about barring the GOVERNMENT from limiting speech. (Looking at you K. McCarthy).

opinionsphere Do not silence her, let her speak her mind. She is free and has a right to say whatever she wants. This is AMERICA! IIhan Omar for President!

So we might be on to something, eh? She's a cancer

Criticism of Israel’s brutal apartheid is not antisemitism it’s morally correct. AIPAC has our government by the throats. Of the 195 countries in the world the Senate voted (in violation of the Constitution) to make it illegal to criticize only 1 - Israel. EndUSAidToIsrael

Just like everything white people say pertaining to black people isn’t racist, I’m sure she knows this was coming. She can have an opinion about Israel without being anti-Semitic. Or is EVERYTHING white say & do as it pertains to black people racist?

Waiting for the big POLITICO piece on Kevin McCarthy's attacks on three Jewish men who are frequent targets of anti-Semitism. But is it OK if he doesn't criticize a lobbying group like AIPAC? IlhanOmar

Note the bigotry this repeated nonsense creates. This strategy is similar to the Covington story: reframing changes who the victim in the story is, or erases/dehumanizes the victim, to support those in power. No one reads the article, they run to their bias. Demagogues know this.

Supreme Court Judge Stewart on obscenity said that he could not define it but 'I know it when I see it' Same thing can be said for determining the difference between fair criticism of Israel and good old fashioned anti-semitism. With Omar I know it when I see it.

Funny how the blatant antisemitism is alive and well in the tolerant Democratic party.

America First? Or not.

Questioning Israeli policies is not anti-semitic. This shouldn't have to be clarified. Israel

When did Israel become an American state? AmericaFirst

Not surprising. The Dems hold identical positions. The only thing that troubles me about her statements is the hypocrisy in not calling out Dems

They took their masks off too fast

This is why Dems lose elections, they fail to stick with their colleagues. Zero criticism of Israel is an absurd concept, this concept only appeases the Evangelicals that think the completion of Israel will bring us closer to the Rapture. JustStop

'Repeatedly attacked by the GOP' Could you be more clear in your biased headlines? Call a spade a spade and stop with the narrative or your credibility will go even lower than it already is.

16500 detainer beds come to 330 PER STATE ……...totally Unaceptable DonaldJTrumpJr realDonaldTrump POTUS rushlimbaugh seanhannity PressSec IngrahamAngle GetReal DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trump2020LandSlide

POUNCE!

She's just following her religious zealot teachings.

They both should resign. They are Anti-Semites.

One term? Hope she even finishes the term at this rate lol

Trumps travel ban affected 10% of Muslims worldwide and people said it was clearly an attack on Muslims. 50% of the World's Jews live in Israel so why isnt a boycott of Israel automatically antisemitic based on that same logic?

Ya, she needs to chill the $% out.

NeverAgain I am a Jewish American who is very unhappy with how Israel has handled the Palestinians, there is no more tolerance for the blatant AntiSemitism she espouses.
