The House is about to come down on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) again.
During the protest at Columbia University, Omar addressed the media, making an antisemitic comment about some of the Jewish students on campus.
Now, the GOP caucus is going to try to hold her accountable with yet another censure.
She Cannot Say That
During the protest, Omar stated, “I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe.
“We should not have to tolerate anti-Semitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they’re pro-genocide or anti-genocide.”
The implication by Omar was clear… if the Jewish students were not out there protesting, they must be pro-genocide, which is utterly ridiculous.
Not to mention the fact Israel is not committing genocide, but that is a whole other discussion.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) is now preparing a censure resolution against Omar for her comments.
Even Democrats are going after Omar on this, as her opponent in the upcoming primary, Don Samuels, stated, “Our democracy offers the best way to address the harm done by these extremists. It’s not censure; it’s defeat at the ballot box.
“This country needs leaders who can heal our divisions, not pry at them. Let’s elect them to serve.”
I literally know nothing about Samuels, as that is not my part of the country, nor is it my party, but I believe having him in office would be far better than a pro-Hamas Democrat.
This is far from the first time that Omar has made comments like this, but it should be her last as a congresswoman.
We can only hope the people of Minnesota wake up and remove this woman from office.
