I’m a dem I don’t believe this apology, SHE SHOULD STEP DOWN. Because it’s against Jews, Israel & feeds into a stereotype that people believe about Jews, we should forget & forgive? I’m thankful for her tweet, She showed whom she really is.
Why isn't the president and other representatives held to the same standards when it comes to Islamophobia? Offending Mexicans and Latinx ? African Americans? LGBTI This is HYPOCRISY, not to mention the antisemitic/racist gaffes that these very same critics have had.
Make sure you wish Omar and her husband. I mean her blood brother a happy anniversary. Because marriage between brother and sister. Well, I’ll let up to you.
JoelCRosenberg SHE SHOULD RESIGN ASAP
JoelCRosenberg Islam and our Constitution are mutually exclusive. She must be removed by impeachment.
Ilhan Omar is 37 years old..... when you’re 37 and she has an anti-Semitic view. It’s locked in. You can’t change someone. I call BS that she’s apologizing. Apology NOT accepted. You are who you ARE at 37 !!! icallBS IlhanOmar byebyeOmar
So realDonaldTrump can joke about the TrailOfTears/GrabbingPussy, call Nazi “Good People,” call my and others nations ShitHoles, mock Cripples. But a BlackFemaleMuslim is forced to apologize for a statement illustrating the power of the lobbyist. WhitePrivilegeWinsAgain
She apologizes doesn’t meant it was sincere .. whatever anger or rage is still inside of her heart .. just as it is in many who represent the USA.. just lip service
Lady your serving in the U.S. CONGRESS be an Americana!
She should have stood her ground.
She took one for the team, she shouldn't have apologized because she didn't do anything wrong
One major mistake here. The BDS movement doesn’t specifically target “Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.” It specifically targets Israel’s existence. Don’t elevate BDS into something it isn’t.
You were outmaneuvered. Learn from it and come back stronger! Get an ALLIANCE! Get a voting number that makes you stronger! Look at the tea party! Pick your battles. And remember, you’re a woman! You’ve got this!
Israel is spoil. And does pay off groups like any other lobbyist. They just like to stay in the dark.
An apology scripted & so well coached far beyond her limited ability to project truth and sincere apology behind so much hate.
Wish she would appeal to the concept of 'people of the book' in Islam and emphasize what is in common in the Judeo-Christian-Muslim tradition.
Educate yourself
No she didn’t
She didnt say anything anti-semitic. Being critical of a Jewish person isnt anti-semitism. Nor is being critical of Israel. Dipshits.
She needs to be banned from Twitter. The apology isn't good enough. My feelz still hurt.
AIPAC has spent over $43 million lobbying in the U.S. since 2000. AIPAC spends, on average, $2.27 million a year. How much did Russia spend on those FB ads?
*Comments that were falsely called anti-Semitic
She is Lying
Democratic Party is over, it has become the party of radicals.They’ve sold their souls to the Left.Thank goodness for people like President Trump that stand up to the Left.Likes of Soros will never prevail in the USA.realDonaldTrump
SpeakerPelosi was wrong. 👈🇺🇲💶 She's a Benjamin taker as well✔️
Yeah say what you want now it’s a lie and we know what in her cold heart
That wasn’t an apology.
I stand 150% with Rep Ilhan Omar.
JoelCRosenberg No she didn't. She added the equivalent of a 'but' in her apology which completely negated it. Wait a week and just see. She'll be saying something else anti-semitic that will show us the truth.
how different is what she saying & Trump alliegience to Saudi Arabia even though an American working reporter was killed by the Saudi Prince ...it is about the Benjamins
AIAPC is the tail wagging congress and America.
You call that an apology?
How is criticizing the Israeli Govt's lobbying group a racist attack on all jewish people worldwide? Netanhahu is headed to prison for corruption. I speaking ill of him a racist attack on Jews worldwide?
THIS MUSLIM does not belong in our CONGRESS. !!
I'm pretty sure her comments were not 'anti-Semitic' even though so many of her colleagues condemned them. I'm sorry they pressured her into that admission.
Why are the anti-Semites all gravitating to the Democrat Party?
She's a Nazi.
NOT TO BE TRUSTED EVER!
This apology is the likened to driving nails in a fence post and then pulling them out. The nails are gone but the holes are still there
Her Ownself has spoken. The architect of 2016's election debacle, who brought us The Donald, is still not listening.
i love israel. l love the jewish faith. their leader is not perfect. i don't particularly like him. their lobbyists are further from perfect. stop putting words in her mouth and spinning her meaning. we do not need to tiptoe around someones', or some nation's, FEELERS.
You didn't do anything wrong I don't see your tweets as anti Semitic at all. What I see is money talks (campaign money).
Not really
Islamists can lie to infidels at will. The Quran says so.
she will help get Trump re-elected
A freshman congresswoman has learned a lesson. Move on please. We are under attack from the Whitw House and Russia. The gop is aiding them both.
She. Doesn’t. Mean. It!!! Wake up America!!
Her apology felt very forced & then added about groups involved in politics, like AIPAC, NRA, & Oil industry. So that's 'bad money' but anything she likes: say CAIRNational, anything 'green', any/all union donations or liberal billionaire donations are 'good money?' Hypocrite
I'm sure her forced apology is supposed to appease the fact that she Hates anyone that is Not muslim.. Well it doesn't....
No need to apologize. We're with you.
She meant every word she said. Having to be told to apologize, isn’t apologizing.
JoelCRosenberg She is lying
She's apologized before.
The wicked witch SpeakerPelosi has spoken
Dems are pathetic, she had nothing to apologize for
Omar. Remember: resistance to the Borg is futile.
Read it. Not an actual apology
She is from democratic party not Republican.
That makes it ok? Problem fixed? I don’t think so! As with Northam, you are who you are!
Don’t be fooled! Hat trick to keep Jewish votes!
She simply learned, hard and fast, that you must always address 'Israeli lobbying and funds coming from the diaspora'. When it come to billionaire Sheldon Adelson, this is much more preferred.
She made no 'anti-Semitic comments', though some opted to publicly spin them that way, Politico.
That was the better way. I want PEACE! For ALL! My dad would have laughed at me for that statement. I know there has never been peace for long, but I still want it!
So.. An elected congressperson does not have the right to comment on who gives money to other congresspersons' campaigns?
She should not have. This was an orchestrated attempt at shutting up the honest criticism of money influencing policy. We see you Democratic leadership.
MicheleScott12 Rep. Omar is a woman of great dignity. She is an asset to this Democratic Party, and they should appreciate her. I support Rep. Omar’s right to call out hypocrisy!
state of Texas employees have to sign a pledge vowing to not engage in boycotts of Israel. money def didn’t buy that legislation
IlhanMN told the truth and we are grateful for that. It's the slanderous 'antisemitism' labeling of her that requires apologies. The truth requires no apology.
Should have removed her from foreign services committee
Power check!!!
Only because she was told to
Omar’s apology means absolutely nothing. Barbarians will say and do anything to there enemies. It is written in their book
These new female Reps in Congress are on fire and are straight up woke. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm willing to be she really did mean it when she apologized........
Okay. Move on Other People GOP trump NEVER Apologize.
Let’s move on.
You mean Dems checked their own? How refreshing if we could get GOP to do same
To suggest that maybe Israel is not beyond reproach is tantamount to antisemitism.
That's how Congress works - Tell the truth about AIPAC and get slapped down.
It's not anti-Semitic to call into question the loyalty of American politicians who accept money from Israeli government lobbyists
Could you have picked a more unseemly photograph of her! Little things mean a lot!
Is that enough? That's how she feels after all.
no she didnt. she kind of body swerved an actual apology gave the standard leftist mealy mouth response then gave some whataboutist drivel about the NRA she still appearing with fellow anti semite IslamicRelief's YAbdallah later this month?
This will be great fodder for 2020
She had no reason to apologize.
Let us not upset Netanyahu or no more checks and free junkets to Israel. 👅 GOP TheDemocrats IlhanMN Ilhan
Oh good, an apology. I guess everything is OK now.
Why isn’t she investigated for committing immigration fraud for marrying her brother so he could stay in the country? ICEgov SecNielsen TheJusticeDept DHSgov IlhanMN
Now let’s wait for Trump to apologize for just one mean thing he has said instead of claiming he never said it.
Good
Wish all knew how to apologize if someone is hurt or insulted. Thank you for that and looking forward to all you can do in your new leadership role.
Can we move on now?
Sadly she didn’t mean it...
IlhanMN is brave democrat who apologise on telling the truth to US citizens, at least she done ✅ her job,otherwise who dare to tell truth against Israeli lobbies in US
She has nothing to apologize for.
if anything this proved Omar's point - the outrage over her tweet forced an apology and far out weights any outrage over Israeli human rights abuses.. if there was a validation of her point it happened real time
Thank you HouseDemocrats for standing up to anti-semitism and calling it out for what it is. We cannot allow such ideology to spread in either of our major polities, and democrats need to be more active against it in the future.
Why do we even have an ISIS rep in congress?
Post birth abortion! No exception!!
Apologies don’t normally conclude with doubling down and re-accusing the same group of the same behavior.
Please resign!
She'll spin this into making herself the victim. Horrible antisemetic person.
Fake apology!!! She only apologized because she was forced to.
Let's see how long you can drag this story out.
Nothing she said was anti semitic. Problem is the media is owned by the jews.
Good.
She shouldn't have apologized.
Stop calling comments like these anti-semetic, because it isn't. Critique of an agency isn't the same as berating the Jewish people, or their religion. Act like you got some damn sense.
Right. Bx we are not going to hear about a slew of other things she has said and done. She had no idea what she was saying. Al Franken didn't get a chance to defend himself. Congrats to the new Dems. They picked up a lot of new voters. And lost millions. Well done.
And she keeps her committee assignments - so a kiss on the wrist
This one that Nancy didn’t need to put her nose into.
NOT ME...VALID POINT ABOUT FAITH AND MONEY..to BUY OUR POLITICS..needs to END.
She doesn’t mean it.. so get Rid of her. The pickings are ripe for a conservative to take over that seat
Strip her of any committee assignments like you did Rep King - NOW!
no, don't apologize. Why are you apologizing for being yourself?
Interesting framing here. Omar's comments are treated as undeniably anti-Semitic while press continues to frame trump's continuing attacks as 'racially charged' or 'insensitive.'
