Omar expressed remorse about her comments but ‘we must distinguish between criticism of a particular faith and fair critiques of lobbying groups’
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is facing new accusations of making anti-Semitic remarks, with a senior member of her party rebuking the House freshman for words that he said conjured a “vile anti-Semitic slur.”
In a statement Friday, Eliot said that he welcomed debate in Congress but that it was “unacceptable and deeply offensive to call into question the loyalty of fellow American citizens because of their political views, including support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.” “We need to make sure — on both sides — that everyone is being very careful,” she said. “I see it on both sides. I see too much hatred, period.”
I am appalled by @IlhanMN's #antiSemitic comments, but that does not diminish my revulsion at this poster. It’s a smear, not only against her but also against the entire Muslim-American community. I call on people of all faiths to join me in condemning it. https://t.co/5CHI2dWAe0 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and bipartisan leadership issued a joint statement insisting on an apology for her “use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters.”
