Ilhan Omar Accuses House Dems of ‘Constant Harassment’ and ‘Islamophobic Tropes’ After They Blast Her Over US-Hamas Comparison





Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) took aim at at a group of fellow House Democrats for alleged “Islamophobic tropes” after the group called on Omar to “clarify” comments she made equating the United States and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas.

“It’s shameful for colleagues who call me when they need my support to now put out a statement asking for ‘clarification’ and not just call,” Omar wrote in a Wednesday message on Twitter. “The Islamophobic tropes in this statement are offensive. The constant harassment & silencing from the signers of this letter is unbearable.”

Omar was responding to a statement issued earlier in the day by a group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Brad Schneider (IL), singling out a Monday comment Omar made on Twitter in which she wrote, “We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.”

Schneider and 11 more House Democrats called on Omar to “clarify” the comment, writing in their statement, “Equating the United States and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban is as offensive as it is misguided. Ignoring the differences between democracies governed by the rule of law and contemptible organizations that engage in terrorism at best discredits one’s intended argument and at worse reflects deep-seated prejudice.”

Omar is an IslamoNazi supporter if not one herself.

She is a terrible disgusting hate filled bigot of a person, that goes for everyone who supports her and worse votes for her!

[RMNIXON]

Omar is an IslamoNazi supporter if not one herself.

Look how quickly she has learned from the far left in this Country.

She can't even be asked to clarify her vile remarks by fellow Democrats and she starts crying "Islamophobia" to shut everyone up!

McCarthy: Pelosi failure to address Omar controversy shows Dems 'tolerant of anti-Semitism'

The 12 Jewish Democrats should make sure Pelosi suffers some humiliating losses in the House by voting against whatever she wants. Since she doesnt care for them and what matters to them. Once that happens Pelosi will stand up and criticize Omar and the rest of the Anti American Squad.

Ilhan Omar exposes Democrats’ deep divide over antisemitism.....

A rift between liberal Democrats and their more centrist colleagues was exposed again this week over comments by Rep. Ilhan Omar that many perceived as antisemitic.


Omar touched off the latest round of infighting Tuesday, when she tweeted an exchange she had with Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a congressional hearing and appeared to conflate the actions of the United States and Israel with those of the Taliban and Hamas.


A dozen of her fellow House Democrats, all of whom are Jewish, came together on Wednesday to demand Omar “clarify her words” in a statement that suggested the Minnesota liberal had revealed “deep-seated prejudice” with her remarks.



While Omar initially reacted to their statement with scorn, calling it a “shameful” and “offensive” attempt to silence her with Islamophobia, she clarified her original remarks just hours later in a new statement aimed at quelling the uproar.


“I was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems,” she said Thursday afternoon.


But House Democrats were already in open warfare, with fellow progressives rushing to Omar’s defense amid the backlash to her initial comments.


A rare statement from the entire House Democratic leadership team on Thursday scolding Omar for “drawing false equivalencies” in a way that “foments prejudice” raised the temperature even higher.


“I’ll say the quiet part out loud; it’s time for ‘progressives’ to start condemning anti-semitism and violent attacks on Jewish people with the same intention and vigor demonstrated in other areas of activism,” Rep. Dean Phillips, one of the 12 Democrats who signed the statement this week chastising Omar, said on May 24. “The silence has been deafening.”


“I am pleased [Omar] heard our concerns about her tweet, issued a clarification, and agrees with our point,” said Rep. Brad Schneider, the Democratic lawmaker who organized the 12-person statement against Omar. “I hope all can avoid such offhanded statements in the future as we work together to support American jobs & families.”.....snip~
