Brad Schneider (IL), Jake Auchincloss (MA), Ted Deutch (FL), Lois Frankel (FL), Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Elaine Luria (VA), Kathy Manning (NC), Jerrold Nadler (NY), Dean Phillips (MN), Kim Schrier (WA), Brad Sherman (CA), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL) slammed Omar in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEquating the United States and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban is as offensive as it is misguided,\u201d they wrote. \u201cIgnoring the differences between democracies governed by the rule of law and contemptible organizations that engage in terrorism at best discredits one\u2019s intended argument and at worst reflects deep-seated prejudice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States and Israel are imperfect, and like all democracies, at times deserving of critique, but false equivalence give cover to terrorist groups,\u201d they continued. \u201cWe urge Congresswoman Omar to clarify her words placing the U.S. and Israel in the same category as Hamas and the Taliban.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This is a breaking news story, refresh the page for updates.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
