As Twitchy told you earlier, Nancy Pelosi said she had a “conversation” with Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar over the latters most recent anti-Semitic remarks:
In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms. https://t.co/UpZA3DNgQs pic.twitter.com/1Z6rH65e3M

Oh, to have been a fly on that wall …
So Pelosi spoke with Omar, and then put out a statement calling on her to apologize.
One would think an apology was broached in that conversation — and they wouldn't have called for it if Omar was ready to deliver one.

Apparently this is the “apology” we’ve all been waiting for:

She also reaffirms her anti-Semitism and all-around batsh*ttery.
The last paragraph basically says you learned nothing. https://t.co/CZyxK6Q97p

this isn’t an apology and she is continuing to smear AIPAC https://t.co/5IOHnxnUEp

She’s learned so much, guys. Namely that the Jews are way too powerful.
This is 2nd time in 3 weeks @IlhanMN has backed off Israel comments after saying she had been educated about anti-Semitic tropes

She’s been educated in that she’s finding new ones to use every day.
I have learned about the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes, and I apologize. But we really gotta do something about this AIPAC money." https://t.co/1ulq89IrU0

.@IlhanMN: ”I am so sorry for my antisemitism, and I unequivocally apologize.”
”PS. We have to do something about the Jews.” https://t.co/8JOIZhVnsg

At least this time, she threw in the NRA for good measure:
The lunatic manages to complain about the NRA in her non-apology apology for being a raging anti-semite. https://t.co/foHGrSQ42t

We’ve seen a lot of garbage apologies in our day, but this one has to rank as one of the worst.
She’s totally learning … the art of the non-apology apology https://t.co/lxlmKHYGYO

Paragraph #1: Unequivocal Apology
Paragraph #2: Equivocation. https://t.co/ILZH1CjLOS
— Lee Doren (@LDoren) February 11, 2019
"This is why I unequivocally apologize," followed by, "at the same time" is definitionally an equivocal apology. "At the same time" provides an alternate interpretation for what she's just apologized for. https://t.co/ToG3KKv9Zn

This is one big problem with @IlhanMN's "apology. Another is she doesn't confess what she did wrong. Read this again and tell me what she's sorry for. Where does she say, "I used an anti-Semitic trope"? https://t.co/mnn99Nv5AI
— Chris Pandolfo (@ChrisCPandolfo) February 11, 2019
She’s not sorry for anything she said. And we don’t accept her B.S. apology.
Not accepted, because I don't believe you and because your second paragraph denounces the First Amendment.
Anti-Semitic and un-American. https://t.co/qOzncfCkps
