.@IlhanMN tweets were a disgrace & her apology was inadequate. Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress, much less the Foreign Affairs Committee. Those who engage in anti-Semitic tropes should not just be denounced, they should face consequences for their words.
— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) February 13, 2019
Pence’s call for action against Omar follows President Donald Trump’s call for her to either resign from Congress or at a minimum step down from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress,” Trump said on Tuesday. “And Congresswoman Omar is, terrible what she said, I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”
“What she said is so deep-seated in her heart, that her lame apology, and that’s what it was, it was lame, and she didn’t mean a word of it was just not appropriate,” Trump added. “I think she should resign from Congress, frankly.”
“But at a minimum, she shouldn’t be on committees, certainly that committee,” Trump concluded.
She has forfeited her privilege of access to classified or otherwise sensitive information ESPECIALLY where Israel is concerned.
Pence is a great balance to Trump.
MAGA together, Godspeed 2020.
I haven’t figured Pence out yet. I don’t trust him. I don’t think DJT does either,
There should be consequences for the people who elected her. Being without a congressional representative for the rest of the two-year term would be a good start.
I’m not confident in Pence either. Maybe that he doesn’t make a lot of noise makes him an ideal VP, but what does he really believe in? Who the hell knows. Is he Trump’s running mate in 2020? I would prefer someone being groomed for 2024. Who would that be?
Omar is a terrorist — it’s as plain as a pikestaff.
All the BDS and Palestine pandering louts — and especially THIS unrepentant rag-wearing terrorist — should be deported to a live volcano.

Don Jr.
I like Don Jr. but the nepotism charge would be a burden. I would like to see a little more charisma than what Pence brings. And maybe I’m wrong, it’s possible Pence is an ideal VP.
She was known to be an anti-Semite (and so is the other Muslim; and so are most), but Pelosi put her on the foreign affairs committee anyway. It’s Pelosi who needs to answer for this.
The Jews say “Never Again” yet
many remain in the socialist
democrat camp that bows to this
anti-semite. If they keep it up
they will be moaning “not again”.
Pence has been the ideal vp, they aren’t the road warriors for God’s sake, DJT is point man obviously, Pence is the moderator when needed, he doesn’t even jump in when he should.
He’s on our side idiots!
He is on our side idiots. Strong argument. Tough to argue with that. He doesn’t even jump in when he should.
VP is always an insurance policy.
See…Joe Biden.
That said, I think Pence is wondering what the hell he’s gotten into.
I believe he is a good, principled man.
As I remember, he made a couple #Nevertrump statement right before DJT tapped him. Yes? No?. Your damn right yes. And now I’m being called an idiot by some Anon coward piece of shit.
It shouldn’t be an insurance policy, it should enhance the ticket. Instead of having the alternative be so poor, it should be so strong that there is no gain by having the president fall. I would like someone other than Pence, as fine a guy as he is. I just don’t have any good ideas yet.

Nikki Haley. Duh. LOL

Awesome minds…

Loco. She’s the logical choice. Great minds.
Yes Nikki, first woman President 2024-2032
*Democrat transgender identified woman president 2048…
End of world 2050
Im a Hoosier and I know without a doubt Mike Pence is a great man and leader. That’s why Trump picked him. If Trump has someone else in mind for 2020 he might not carry Indiana again. It would really tick off a lot of Hoosiers, Indiana is Pence country, Chicks on the Right talked about this on their radio show few months ago and all was in agreement. His brother Greg is Rep. for our 6th district.
Nikki Haley also made several #Nevertrump statement right before DJT tapped her. I don’t trust her.
Lohan Ilmar is a low-IQ paranoiac. It would be very easy to gaslight her into a complete mental breakdown. Whether anyone would notice the difference is another thing altogether.
But you have to be careful with her, too. Of all the Dem Congros, she is the one most likely to try to pull a Smollett.
This isn’t about anti-Semitism. It IS about (1) intimidating a non-Christian, female, person of color, freshman congressperson, (2) fabricating another opportunity to side with the Zionist Israeli butchers who are murdering off the Palestinians for their land, (3) another manufactured opportunity to uphold the current administration’s imperialistic mentality, and (4) a knee-jerk response to Omar calling them out with the truth (we can’t have any truth-telling around here!)
Anyone criticizing the Zionists get blasted by this administration as being anti-Semitic; it’s just how the American Neo Liberals roll. Are we buying it? Heck, NO! We understand EXACTLY what these fascists are all about. Omar should view Pence’s attack as her having made it into the big leagues and be proud of herself for calling out the nefarious goings on of the evil doers. We would be FAR better off if Mike Pence would resign; fake Christian, fake human being, fake everything. Mike Pence needs to sit down and be quiet!

how bout john kennedy….La senetor …SMART N FUNNY
Lisa Hartford, how many Benjamins are you getting from the Wahhabi lobby to shill for Omar?
See how that works?
Lisa Hartford, I can tell you don’t believe in God. God gave Israel to the Jewish people, HIS people. Palestinians hasn’t got a country and NEVER will. Chew on that!
Attacking an American’s rights to defend the from the mere mention of undue influence of a foreign nation. Our republic is sick.
We need MORE Moslems in government.
Like a dog needs more fleas.
A censure for Omar is clearly called for.
Her ouster should be on the table.
But she’s a smellocrat.
So Piggy Pelosi will never do it.

The United Nations gave Israel to the Jewish people. Worship the men you wish. But save the blasphemy for your fellow travelers. Please.

Now, THAT’s funny.
@ Anonymous, Read Genesis 15:18, God gave Israel to His people over 3000 plus years ago. Rest of your comment is gibberish to me.
