The Media Keeps Lying To Protect Ilhan Omar

After the House voted to deny Rep. Ilhan Omar a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee—using a precedent Democrats recently created but suddenly find deeply offensive—AP Tweet: “BREAKING: House Republicans have voted to oust Democratic Rep Ihan [sic] Omar from the House Foreign Affairs committee. The vote to remove the Somali-born Muslim lawmaker came after her past comments critical of Israel.”

The Associated Press reported almost two years ago that Marjorie Taylor Greene was being removed from House committees. As so: “BREAKING: The U.S. House votes to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from committees for spreading violent, racist rhetoric.”

The first thing you’ll notice is that one says “the House” The other votes against Taylor Greene’s nomination for a spot in the committee. “House Republicans” Omar was booted (and it was exactly the same over at NPR, PBS, Yahoo!, etc.). Kevin McCarthy, Republican House Speaker, has the power unilaterally to expel Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff from the intelligence committee. However, the whole House was required to remove Omar.

Evidently As almost all votes these day are, both votes were largely partisan. It’s a newsworthy fact. Yet AP editors simply couldn’t leave that aspect of the story out of the headline for only one of these incidents, even though Democrats acted in an unprecedented manner when creating the precedent.

However, Taylor Greene’s claim of being expelled is even more misleading “spreading violent, racist rhetoric,” Omar, however, was targeted for the seemingly innocuous crime of being “critical of Israel.” This is a lie that can be repeated over and over again.

Many politicians are “critical of Israel.” Omar doesn’t believe the Jewish people deserve a state, no matter what policies Israel engages in short of packing up. She is critical about the existence and future of this nation. That’s a pretty important distinction.

But that’s not even the problem here. Omar, who was already a member the Foreign Affairs Committee. Comparable The United States Hamas and Taliban.

After she was elected to Congress, Omar diminished the 9/11 attacks—“some people did something”— to exaggerate the presence of “Islamophobia” In this country (a comment which was It could get worseIt is better than the other in context. Omar states that House members are To be expected Pay “allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country” Or that Israel supporters are in it for “Benjamins,” She isn’t “being critical” She spreads ugly news about any policy “tropes.”

The Democrats are perfectly fine with it. The press uncritically repeats Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s Claim Democrats “unequivocally condemned” Omar was elected four years ago without any resistance. That’s reserved for Republicans. One would expect that there will be no media. “fact checks” forthcoming.

But either Jeffries is lying or doesn’t understand that “unequivocal” What does it mean? “to leave no doubt, to be unambiguous.” The House adopted a watered down resolution that mentioned Alfred Dreyfus and Leo Frank as well as Henry Ford. “anti-Muslim bigotry” — and a bunch of other bad -isms — that never even mentions Omar.

The conspiracy to cause California wildfires by Jewish-controlled spacerays could be deeply stupid.
