Ilhan Omar claims ignorance about her anti-Semitic tropes

Blatant anti-Semite who married her biological brother, Rep. Ilhan Omar(D-MN) is now claiming to be ignorant about well-known Jewish stereotypes she has spewed in the past, along with her blatant anti-Israel rhetoric.

She was interviewed Sunday alongside Democratic California Reps. Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell on the Compromised News Network’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash and Jake Tapper.

Omar was asked whether she learned anything from her anti-Semitic "all about the Benjamins" trope in 2019 regarding congressional lawmakers allegedly taking bribes from Israel. She had to think fast before answering a question atypical of CNN to ask of a fellow leftist.

“I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope. 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,” Omar said. “To insinuate that I knowingly said these things when people have read into my comments to make it sound as if I have something against the Jewish community is so wrong.”

Bullcrap. She's lying and she knows it, and knows her constituents know it.

Omar’s anti-Semitic comment about Israel was widely condemned for what it was. She half apologized after she was rebuked by Democratic leadership for “deeply offensive” language. “Antisemitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar said in her apology, then the following week went all out anti-Semitic again.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has pledged to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for her comments about Israel. Three House RINOs have come out against the measure, potentially preventing the majority vote needed to remove Omar from the committee. 

These are not Republicans who should remain in office. They're confusing the First Amendment with qualifications for a particular committee assignment which requires proper treatment and consideration of our allies.

McCarthy removed Schiff and Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee. “I cannot put partisan loyalty ahead of national security,” McCarthy said in a letter to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. Schiff announced a run for Senate shortly after he was removed from the committee because he has no other skills.
