Local Congresswoman Accidentally Spends A Decade Being An Antisemite

Poor Ilhan Omar.

“I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope,” The congresswoman Submitted CNN’s Dana Bash this week. “I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been a very enlightening part of this journey.”

And what a journey it’s been. It’s merely happenstance, Omar would have you believe, that she—along with her bestie, Rashida Tlaib, a woman who Get A “calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust’s aftermath and believes pro-Zionist Jews exploit “regular Americans” For “their profit,” etc.—keeps tripping into old-school Jew-baiting. What are the odds?

Omar’s been living in the United States since her early teens. Omar graduated high school in a major American town. She graduated from North Dakota State University with a Bachelor’s degree. In political science and international studies. One assumes she’s consumed plenty of American culture over the years. You’re telling me that in all this time, in all her many interactions as an academic “fellow” She is a government worker and has never heard of any stereotypes about Jews hypnotizing countries or being motivated with money. That’s quite an accomplishment.

Of course, Omar shouldn’t lose her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee because she believes rootless cosmopolitans are brainwashing the world for the “Benjamins.” She should be ashamed of herself. Downplays 9/11 It is the same thing The United States is home to theocratic terrorist groups like Hamas or the Taliban. She is not morally or ideologically ready for the job. Nancy Pelosi should deny her a seat, as she set a new precedent in denying Kevin McCarthy’s choices for Jan. 6, creating a show-trial and stripping him. Paul Gosar Marjorie Taylor-Green a majority of their appointments to committees. They said these things. Omar should be reelected by Republicans Her standards.

The Democrats introduced a resolution that would strip Lauren Boebert from all House committee assignments A stupid, bigoted joke Omar, congresswoman Submitted CNN’s Jake Tapper that “we should punish and sanction Boebert by stripping her of her committees, by rebuking her language, by doing everything that we can to send a clear and decisive message to the American public that, if the Republicans are not going to be adults and condone — condemn this, that we are going to do that.”

The Democrats were allowed to become adults when they had the chance “send a clear and decisive message” to the American public about Omar’s bigotry, they backed a watered-down resolution teeming with platitudes denouncing the treatment of Alfred Dreyfus and Leo Frank, and condemning anti-Japanese discrimination during World War II, Islamophobia, and the America First Committee, but not Omar. And that’s fine. The purpose of congressional resolutions is to be a performative nonsense. We can ask any member to express his opinions directly. Omar, except for occasional tepid rebukes by fellow Jewish Democrats has been exempted from any meaningful criticism.

Omar’s rhetoric is already the norm in academic and activist leftist circles, so it’s unsurprising. She could easily read the Hamas Charter.
