Rep. Ilhan Omar Goes on Anti-Semitic Twitter Rampage; Advocacy Group Demands Apology
She accused deep-pocketed Jews of buying American politicians and retweeted a post calling Jews 'hook nosed'
"Democrats’ freshmen class of lawmakers are providing the party with a new source of passion — and a lot of headaches.
A series of tweets sent Sunday night from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) are another addition for the latter category.
The tweets began after a writer for the Intercept, Glenn Greenwald, posted a story about Rep. Kevin McCarthy “threatening punishment” of Rep. Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) “over their criticisms of Israel.” (As CNN’s Jake Tapper noted, McCarthy’s comments were actually directed at “what he sees as anti-Semitic rhetoric from Reps. Omar and Tlaib.”)
Rep. Omar responded to Greenwald’s post with, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby”:
Tweet #1094747501578633216
The insinuation that Jewish interests were compelling Rep. McCarthy’s actions prompted some to ask Rep. Omar for clarification.
When a writer for the Forward asked, “Would love to know who Omar thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel,” Rep. Omar responded: “AIPAC!”
Tweet #1094761790595088384
As a 501(c))4), the American Israel Political Affairs Committee (AIPAC) does not actually make contributions to politicians.
Omar later re-tweeted a Jewish writer who described himself as not generally sympathetic to Israel, but felt Rep. Omar’s attacks on Jews were akin to calling “us hook-nosed.”
Rep. Omar subsequently deleted her retweet, apparently not having realized the post was calling her anti-Semitic. However, some online captured her retweet before it was taken down"
I remember 'the good ol' days' when the only way you found out Democrats were racists, sexists, homophobes, and anti-Semites was for someone to hack the DNC server, access their e-mails, and leak them to the public.
Since President Trump introduced them to Twitter, that's no longer needed. They 'out' themselves by saying some of the most offensive, racist, and anti-Semitic things. Just as funny, they think that when they start getting backlash from it they can simply just delete their Tweets, and they are gone.
Silly Democrats....
