As Twitchy told you this week, Nancy Pelosi’s defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar after her anti-Semitic comments was, um, something else:
"I feel confident [Ilhan Omar's] words were not based in an antisemitic attitude, but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and cultural impact that might have been unknown to her," Pelosi said pic.twitter.com/ak3O895zb6

Oh, Nancy.
Brit Hume summed up why that’s a total fail no matter what:
She’s not bigoted, you see, she’s just ignorant. Well ok then. https://t.co/AyYJhQm91r

So which is it, Rep. Pelosi? We’ll wait for an answer.
I feel sorry for @SpeakerPelosi …. making excuses for #IlhanOmar by calling her an imbecile… some ‘leadership’!

"She's not bigoted, she's just ignorant, so we gave her a plum seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee." FIFY https://t.co/5MnZteIZqu

Pelosi must know that she’s really got her hands full.
