*sigh*
This woman.
From CNN:
The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee called Friday for freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar to apologize after insinuating that pro-Israel groups are pushing “allegiance to a foreign country.”
Chairman Rep. Eliot Engel’s demand comes after a bookstore event Wednesday where Omar argued that critics labeling her as an anti-Semite looked to silence a necessary conversation.
“I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” Omar said, according to The New York Times.
In a fiery statement Friday night, Engel, a New York Democrat, took Omar to task for yet another controversial comment over the political influence of pro-Israel groups on politicians.
Allegiance to a foreign country. K.
Another anti-Semitic trope, another apology. This is — what? — her third round of this? She’s been in Congress for two months. https://t.co/TOa2aX6stP

Third round in two months.
Raise your hand if you think Democrats have a real problem here … and they’ll just keep ignoring it.
She’ll say she’s not anti-semitic… she just REALLY hates Jews…? pic.twitter.com/JpDS1UDJuO

It’s like she can’t help herself.
You get what you vote for.

Sad but so true.
Let her speak. Let the country and the world know who she truly is. #Antisemitic

This is actually a really good idea.
Let her show the world who she really is, and who the Democrats have become.
Sounds good to us.
But on the other hand …
When are they gonna expel her from Congress?
