Newsmax: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday insisted that freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar immediately apologize for tweets saying that members of Congress are being paid by a powerful interest group to support Israel.
“Congresswoman Omar’s use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive,” Pelosi said in a statement issued by her office and signed by other Democratic leaders after a bipartisan backlash against the Minnesota Democrat. “We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments.”
The statement came after Omar tweeted over the weekend that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is paying members of Congress to support Israel. Omar is one of two of the first Muslim women to serve in Congress.
“In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms,” Pelosi said in a tweet that included the statement.
Omar did not immediately respond. MORE HERE
It’s insulting that she is breathing American fresh air.
She should find a new lock on her office door and her crap in a box in the hallway. But I’ll be surprised if she got even a stern talking to.
Was she *winking* or *twitching* when she did it? 😳
“In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms,” Pelosi said in a tweet that included the statement.
Omar did not immediately respond.
Omar made the mistake of saying IN PUBLIC what all the dems say behind closed doors.
And she’s on the foreign relations committee?
Good choice Nancy !
That was far from an apology. In fact she tried to justify her remarks.
“In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward. . .”
. . .and. . .
. . .there will be Time and Place for hidden hatred and jihad when the heat is off and the citizens aren’t paying as close attention.
Resign? It’s not like they have a picture of her in blackface or anything….
WHAT’S THE HURRY, NANCY??
Someone, please. Explain why so many filthy rich Jews send Pelosi hundreds of millions of dollars every election.
So, Grandmama is saying Congress colluding with foreign powers, for pay, is a lie!? A complete and total fabrication!?
Or is Grandmama upset that the foreign powers she colludes with, for pay, claim to have had their feelings hurt?
Judge, it’s because we suffer from a permanent GUILTY conscience!! OY VEY!!
“Representative Ilhan Omar, who has been battling charges of anti-Semitism for weeks, apologized on Monday for insinuating that American support for Israel is fueled by money from a pro-Israel lobbying group — a comment that drew swift and unqualified condemnation from fellow Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
I’m actually shocked that she didn’t tell Nancy to go pound sand.
Was she apologizing for only insinuating?
“Fuck US border security, but, goddammit, AIPAC pays our party a shitload of money to care about Israel’s border security.”
– Nancy “Supercunt” Pelosi
how could we expect anything better from Omar?

What did Ohmar’s brother-husband have to say?
