Well, isn’t this special? Looks like anti-Semitic, bigoted little troll Ilhan Omar has a friend in fellow socialist Bernie Sanders:
"Bernie Sanders, on a conf. call hosted by Jim Zogby, last night: “I talked to @IlhanMN last night to give her my personal support. We will stand by our Muslim brothers and sisters.” https://t.co/NCZP4du3L9 pic.twitter.com/FRHRge85a4

And when the likes of Rania Khalek are applauding you, you know you’ve done something good:
Bernie Sanders defends Ilhan Omar. Thank you @SenSanders https://t.co/konn93UJmf

Of course, not all progs are happy about this. If Bernie really wanted to show his support for Omar, he would’ve done it more publicly:
This is weak. Being that he is a Jewish member of the Senate he had an opportunity to defend @IlhanMN publicly and open up space for us to talk about the Israeli government more broadly.

He could, you know, say that publicly.

Shouldn’t they just be glad he’s supporting their anti-Semitic hero at all?
Took him long enough, now we've got to get him on the bds bus
