    Jewish voters are furious at Dems’ defense of Ilhan Omar

    Jewish voters furious at Democrats’ defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar say they’re done with the party that has held their support for generations.

    “We felt we had a home there,” said Mark Schwartz, the Democratic deputy mayor of solidly blue Teaneck, NJ. “And now we feel like we have to check our passports.”


    Jordan Manor of Manhattan, who calls himself a “gay Jewish Israeli-American,” laments, “The party I thought cared about me seems to disregard me when it comes to my Jewish identity.”


    Mark Dunec, a consultant in Livingston, NJ who ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2014, says, “I’m physically afraid for myself and for my family,” adding, “I see my own party contributing to the rise of anti-Semitism in the United States.”


    Omar, a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, sparked the firestorm in February for using anti-Jewish tropes: saying that support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins” and accusing Jewish-American legislators of “dual loyalty.”


    Many, including some fellow Democrats, deemed her comments anti-Semitic — but the party’s lefty activists pushed back.


    “No one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx + other communities,” complained Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a March 5 tweet.

    After Anti-Semitism Fiasco, Some Minnesota Democrats Look For Ways To Get Rid Of Ilhan Omar.....


    For Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), she’s embroiled her whole party with an anti-Semitism fiasco that isn’t going away. It’s not her first time either. It’s pervasive. It’s repetitive. It brings forward legitimate allegations that she’s an anti-Semite. She said in 2012, that Israel is hypnotizing the world, then came the “all about the Benjamins” tweet concerning contributions and AIPAC, and now the gross accusation of dual loyalty concerning those who support Israel. The latter public relations flap is what forced the House to vote on a resolution that was initially one against anti-Semitism, but some Democrats found that problematic. Why should Omar be singled out? Oh, also Trump is…bad. Yeah, he was brought up. It showed that Nancy Pelosi is a weak speaker, who caved to this radical element within her party. What we got was a watered down resolution against…bad things.

    As I said, this isn’t Omar’s first time. Back in Minnesota, she met with Jewish leaders who were concerned about her past remarks, especially the 'Israel hypnotizing the world' tweet. She hasn’t learned. And these folks are reportedly no longer treating her with kid gloves anymore. Minnesota State Sen. Ron Latz was the one who hosted the meeting prior to her election to the House last year. Now, he’s hearing chatter about local Democrats searching for people who can challenge Omar. The position is quite clear though; the local Jewish community has had it with Omar who refuses to listen (via The Hill):

    Still, there’s a campaign to boot her. Let’s hope its successful for the sake of ridding Congress of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic influences, but it’ll be bloody. Democratic bloodsports usually are and in 2020, any break in the ranks we should exploit. Jenkins is a hard pass on challenging Omar. Champion did not respond to The Hill for comment. The folks who are sick of Omar want to rip off the gloves, but you can’t do that until you find a solid candidate to boot her. With her nabbing the city, it could be tough, but it sure adds to the narrative that the Democratic Party has become increasingly hostile to Jewish people.....snip~

    LOL.....the Demos are near the breaking point with Omar. AOC and Tlaib wont be able to do anything about Minnesota Demos taking Omar out.
    History does not long Entrust the care of Freedom, to the Weak or Timid!!!!! Dwight D. Eisenhower ~

    Well, if they weren't stupid they would have stopped voting for the Rodents decades ago, back in the 50's.

    So they're going to pretend some outrage and vote Rodent in 2020, as usual. They'll even keep donating money.
    Freedom Requires Obstinance.

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.
