God bless Meghan McCain. Seriously.
On last night’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Seth Meyers steered his conversation with McCain to McCain’s vocal criticism of Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism and attempted to paint Omar as a victim:

Here’s the full conversation (starts around the 6:40 mark):
You can almost see Seth’s muscles twitching as he strains to make excuses for Omar’s abhorrent words and behavior.
Late night hosts are deeply invested in protecting Congress’s most prominent antisemite, and their normalization of Jew-hatred in this climate should be noted and not forgotten https://t.co/ujgFa7R5fg

Meanwhile, you also have late-night schmucks like @sethmeyers attacking people like @MeghanMcCain for actually caring about and calling out antiSemitism from members of Congress.

Also, @sethmeyers, @IlhanMN did *not* apologize unequivocally. She equivocated *in her “apology” tweet*, then spent a week RTing tweets that said she did nothing wrong and laughing about it in public. And then she said other anti-Semitic stuff and didn’t apologize at all. https://t.co/XO7VBxbuEd

Wondering when @sethmeyers is going to care about the "death threats" and mean tweets towards… Oh, I dunno — @benshapiro, @bethanyshondark, @MeghanMcCain and other conservatives. https://t.co/z7uG00oMtO

Meyers did himself zero favors last night. The same can’t be said for McCain. Good on her for standing firm against anti-Semitism.
I could watch this over and over again. Awesome, @MeghanMcCain

Also anyone not of a deeply diseased mind should be grateful that ppl like @MeghanMcCain continue to defend our community despite constantly being attacked for it. We’re lucky to have allies. I’m sorry we don’t always do an appropriate job of showing it.
