Dem Rep. refuses to condemn anti-Semitism by Omar but calls Crenshaw a racist

It's unclear as to whether Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) is an anti-Semite but it is clear that he refuses to condemn anti-Semite Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) because for him, politics is more important than morals.

On October 5th, Casten told a voter that Omar's anti-Semitic comments about those who support Israel were "horribly inappropriate" but then proceeded to attack Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) for introducing an amendment to prevent illegal immigrants from voting. If Casten's kid was running for third grade class president and the class allowed the second or fourth grade to vote in that election, he would have a cow.

But the Democratic line must be towed and tow it Casten shall.

"The last amendment on the floor that day … came from Dan Crenshaw, the new Republican, the Navy SEAL with the eyepatch," he said, referring to the eye accessory Crenshaw wears to cover the empty orbit he got from an IED in 2012 while serving his country in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. It was his third deployment and he lost his right eye and needed surgery to save the vision in his left eye. It isn't just that he wears an eyepatch to look cool, as Casten, who never served in the military, would have you believe. [H/T Washington Free Beacon.]

"He came up with an amendment to say, ‘we're going to add a rider on this bill that says that illegals can't vote.' And I sat there and I said, ‘you know what? You're not allowed to vote if you're not a citizen.' … Why are you doing that? The reason you're doing that is because you are a racist. Because you are trying to appeal to people who will vote for you if you stand up and oppose brown people."

Being called a racist by a liberal is their default position when they have nothing in their bag of bullcrap. Crenshaw is a racist like Ilhan Omar is a Sabra.

"That's what we have to stand up to," he added. "This ain't about Ilhan Omar. Did she say some unfortunate things? You bet she did. But you know what? She apologized for it."

If he actually listened to the question, he would know that it was precisely about Omar. It wasn't at all about Dan Crenshaw but that's a strawman argument that the left consistently does when it cannot answer the questions directly.

Omar tweeted in February it was "all about the Benjamins" for pro-Israel politicians and accused the lobbying group AIPAC of paying them off. But when it comes to her "Squad" buddy, Rashida Tlaib, who obviously has a dual loyalty to the Palestinians, she says nothing.

Crenshaw's office told the Washington Free Beacon it appreciated the focus on Crenshaw's "record of protecting Americans' right to vote," but that insults coming from someone who once likened President Donald Trump to Osama bin Laden "won't be taken seriously."

"If Rep. Casten is so deeply offended that our laws prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections, then he should be honest with his constituents and let them know how little he values the power of their vote," spokeswoman Kerry Rom said.

Crenshaw's attempt to amend H.R. 1, the "For The People Act of 2019," was defeated, with the vote falling almost completely along party lines.

While running for Congress last year, Casten drew criticism after he bloviated that Trump and bin Laden "have a tremendous amount in common." Casten failed to explain just what the two of them have in common, but it's a sure thing that Trump isn't responsible for killing 3,000 Americans and bin Laden never did anything to bring about historical American job growth for the entire country while reducing unemployment in the black and Hispanic community.

And Casten will never be accused of killing Osama bin Laden.
