As I mentioned earlier today, even Democrats were repulsed by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s latest anti-Semitic outburst.
It’s far past time that this woman is TRULY exposed for what she is.
A RAGING ANTI-SEMITE.
Media has completely ignored the blatant antisemitism within Dem caucus, allowing Dems to ignore it too.
Here is my thread w specifics about Rep Tlaib (D): https://t.co/ZNWXCDyVKf
Apparently now I must also write one regarding the antisemitism and extremism of Rep Ilhan Omar.

Back in 2012 Omar tweeted this blatantly antisemitic trope suggesting Israel was “hypnotized the world”. She spent several years defending the tweet. Ex: https://t.co/FO1wuoxyCR
It was only this year that she apologized for it: https://t.co/0dpAZPUmQI

As a side note, Omar faced several other scandals before the election, including misuse of public funds and a possible immigration scheme involving marrying her alleged brother: https://t.co/oNdPkL99l2

In 2013, Omar gave interview to a man who called Israel “the Jewish ISIS” and compared terrorist group Hamas to holocaust victims. In that interview, Omar compared the U.S. military to Al Qaeda: https://t.co/GAxrzaiD6R

At her inauguration, Omar celebrated with Women’s March Leader Linda Sarsour, who was facing her own scandal due to a long record of antisemitic comments and associations: https://t.co/rEepUUzwtL

After being elected, Omar came out as a supporter of the antisemitic BDS movement: https://t.co/jQkvAhXQ4q
Explanation for why BDS is antisemitic here: https://t.co/faNGm5FPBX
Just this week, leaders of that movements were tied to terrorist groups: https://t.co/B1nO61rXvv

Seems also worth noting for this thread that Omar supported sanctions for the Jewish state, but opposes them from Maduro’s regime in Venezuela (also, she shared extensive propaganda on behalf that regime): https://t.co/dsJEglI9AL

In late Jan, Omar argued Israel cannot be considered a democracy bc it is a Jewish state & compared it to Iran: https://t.co/rh9Ck0g8wx
Ignoring that non-Jewish citizens in Israel have equal rights & plenty of Democratic countries have state religions: https://t.co/4DA5gtWt24

Now, after news came out that the GOP wanted Dems to speak out about this pattern, Omar replied by using another anti semitic trope suggesting Republicans were being bought off by Jews to support Israel/Jews: https://t.co/SF96ldMPlF

Combined with Tlaib’s record and other associations, it’s fairly clear that the Dem House caucus has a problem with antisemitism that is mostly being ignored.
In Omar’s case, it seems especially important since House Democrats chose to put Omar on the Foreign Affairs committee.

This can no longer be ignored.
The creeping anti-Semitism of the left has gone unchecked for far too long. Now we have someone like this in Congress. This MUST be addressed, and this MUST be condemned.
