OMAR ADDRESSES THE NOW-DELETED AIPAC TWEET THAT SPARKED BACKLASH

DC: Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar discussed her recently-deleted tweet that alleged a pro-Israel lobbying group buys congressional support on The Intercept’s Thursday morning podcast “Deconstructed” with Mehdi Hasan.

Omar directed her criticism specifically to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee(AIPAC). Both Democrats and Republicans condemned Omar’s comment. President Donald Trump called for her to resign, or at the very least be removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Speaker Pelosi also issued a condemnation of the tweet, but did not call for any repercussions.

The Minnesota congresswoman issued an apology on Twitter soon thereafter and discussed the whole debacle with Hasan.

“I mean, what were you apologizing for? Was it a badly-worded tweet that you apologizing for or was it for being anti-Semitic wittingly or unwittingly?” Hasan asked.

“Absolutely not, I apologized for the way that my words made people feel. Often times, you know, we are in places where someone will say something and they might not know how it makes you feel and it’s not acceptable that once you express to them that this is hurtful or that you have felt attacked by their words,” Omar answered. “They should apologize. And you know figure out a way to remedy that situation.”  read more

  5. A racist, an anti-Semite and a Communist walk into a bar. “What can I get you gals?” asks the bartender.

    “We’re not gals, we’re new members of the house,” retorted Tlaib, Omar and Ocasio-Cortez.

  6. If she married her brother the records will be there.
    Immigration fraud is an impeachable offense.
    Do the homework and boot her out,
    If not STFU, her constituents are getting what they pay for, and they deserve what they get for their stupidity. Especially the disdain from the rest of the country.

  7. So the question is “Were you wrong to acknowledge that AIPAC bribes ‘matters’ American ‘representatives’? Or were you wrong to acknowledge that AIPAC claims you hurt their feelings by acknowledging that they bribe ‘matter’ American ‘representatives’?” And she picked “bad feelz.”

    It’s stupid. But it is quite Scandihoovian. So, what’s the problem?

  8. “Was it a badly-worded tweet that you apologizing for or was it for being anti-Semitic wittingly or unwittingly?”

    “Absolutely not, I apologized for the way that my words made people feel.

    Neither. She apologizes for NEITHER the “badly worded” tween NOR for her anti-Semitism. She “apologizes” for the way “some people” felt about her words.

    Huh?
    How can one “apologize” for the way “some people” feel?

    Not trying to quibble here, but seriously? “I’m not apologizing for being a racist anti-Semitic piece of dog-shit, but because someone MAY feel bad about the way I expressed my racist anti-Semitism.”

  9. She belongs to a Jew killing religion, she’s a messenger for said religion, She personally hates jews, she quacks like a duck, She is a duck, so she is an eventual jew killer.

    She needs to be thrown out of congress and her citizenship revoked.
    We have to start dealing with these Nazis now, the whole damn democrat party is filled with them.
