Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) deleted tweets this week containing some of her publicly anti-Semitic comments after having apologized for her words but not her views.
In early February, Omar made a series of ill-advised tweets concerning Jewish Americans, the state of Israel, and the United States government.
Omar peddled in anti-Semitic stereotypes, mischaracterized a pro-Israel lobbying group, and garnered praise from the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. She shared a tweet from far-left journalist Glenn Greenwald, who claimed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was “defending a foreign nation” and “attacking free speech rights of Americans.”
In reply, Omar claimed elected officials acted for Israel out of financial interest. “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” she said. The reference is to $100 bills, which have Benjamin Franklin’s face on each.
Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor of the liberal publication The Forward, has staunchly defended Omar’s comments in the past but criticized her in this case. Ungar-Sargon called it “the second anti-Semitic trope you’ve tweeted” and asked who would be “paying American politicians to be pro-Israel.”
Omar replied, “AIPAC!” That tweet is now gone.
In another 2012 tweet, Omar accused Israel of having “hypnotized” the world. That tweet has also been deleted. more
I’m sure twitter flagged all of those offensive tweets and locked her acct until she deleted them, just like how they treat conservatives.

They’ll need to change their License Plate Motto to
“The Land of 10,000 mosques”
I have no intention of apologizing for my words about her personally or my views, but then I’m not a lying coward.
Deleting her post doesn’t mean that her positions and attitudes have changed.
It only means she wants to keep them less obvious and better concealed for political purposes.
Her brother is her lover from the same mother.
Unlike Islam, the Internet is forever.
Those tweets will be great billboard fodder when Somali Sally hijabs her way to re-election.
Throw her tweets on a modified cover of Rolling Stone, but title it, Throwing Stones. FBN had the cover this morning. Good grief.
Better if anti-Semite Ilhan Omar were “quietly deletsd.”
Anti-AIPAC is not equal to being anti-semitic. When your only tool is to call someone an anti-semite, everything begins to look like a nail.
hat’s not my wife, that’s my f’ing sister!
What ever GOD, bless her!
After the non-worthful are in her behalf have not died,,,
I will be open to hear out her issues.
Guessing results, Babe, it’s not looking good for you,,
She’s just another camel inside the Congressional tent. Calypso Louie should realize Moslems are the termites in American government.
OK, you’re all breaking Sharia Law by criticizing this Moslem towelette-head.
She only deleted SOME. She had to stop because her fingers cramped up.
