Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar has apologized-but-not-really after Nancy Pelosi and other Dems issued a strongly-worded but toothless statement about her most recent anti-Semitic remarks.
But Rep. Omar’s got plenty of support on Capitol Hill, and by “support” we mean a person or people who have Post-It Notes and know how to use them:

The plaque outside Rep. Ilhan Omar’s office is covered with well wishing post-it notes left over time. One woman just stopped by and left the following note which reads, “Criticizing countries which abuse Human Rights is the right thing to do and will never be Anti-Semitic!” pic.twitter.com/ASL06VIds9

It has to be asked…
So how many anti-Semites are patrolling the halls of Congress right now? https://t.co/eZQpYQBlRp

That would depend on the source of the notes:
By "people" we assume you mean "staffers".

Yeah because her office staff totally didn't do that for a photo op moment https://t.co/QSZHJ5EaoR

Is that carpet in @IlhanMN’s office, or AstroTurf? ? https://t.co/pRZ16sucKG

Wonder how long it took her staff to write these all out

LOL!
Can we get a handwriting analysis on these notes and compare them to the always fun “racist graffiti” incidents that always turn out to be hoaxes? Gotta be the same people.

All those notes came from the same pad

It’s bizarre and offensive for many reasons:
This is a very strange tweet to use to share an article that is actually headlined "Rep. Ilhan Omar apologizes for tweet condemned as anti-Semitic." https://t.co/RgWPWxzICa

So if a democrat gets called out for being an anti-semite they can just play victim and receive remorse. Got it https://t.co/SK8FOKfIZ0
