Lest you forget there is no limit to what sort of minor events can turn conservatives into writhing cesspools of rage
Photo: Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images : A handful of politicians have accused Representative Ilhan Omar of hating Christians after she pointed out the hypocrisy of a video showing Christian singers performing on a plane.
Omar, who is Muslim, generously skipped over the unpleasantness of this scene to point out how absurd it looks against the backdrop of her own experience expressing her faith while flying. “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane,” she wrote on Twitter. “How do you think it will end?”
Omar’s comment has also reignited accusations of anti-Semitism, which first exploded in 2019 when Omar criticized American politicians’ allyship with pro-Israel lobbying groups. Republican and Democratic leadership both condemned the comment, and Omar apologized. That didn’t stop Cicely Davis, another GOP candidate running against Omar, from digging up the accusation.
