“Congresswoman Omar’s use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement Monday a day after Omar said on Twitter that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee buys the support of lawmakers. “We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments.”
Pelosi said on Twitter that she had spoken with Omar. “Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti-Semitism in all forms,” Pelosi said.
The statement did not say whether Pelosi would take action against Omar if she did not apologize.
A number of leading Jewish Democrats also called out Omar for her comments.
Republicans, who stripped Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, of his committee assignments after he questioned why white supremacy was a taboo, have called on Pelosi to take action against Omar. Omar, who started her first term in January, is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The Somali-American lawmaker has said she supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel.
Two faced hypocrites !!!!
Dearest Mrs Pelosi,
Nothing antisemitic in her remarks, but the blaten truth . . .
Again it stinks for all Yiden just because of the tiny occupying enclave in the middle east.
(Gateway Pundit) – A federal judge ruled on Friday the US government can include citizenship question on the US Census. It makes complete sense so Democrats are against it.
It also affects how much federal funding the sanctuary communities will receive from American taxpayers. So, of course, Democrats are against this.
Her repeated anti-Israel comments reveal who she really is!
Thank You Madame Pelosi. If Trump would have apologized for calling the Nazis good people PITTSBURGH MASSACRE WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED.
