Nancy Pelosi Just Showed She's A Helluva Weak Speaker Over Ilhan Omar's Anti-Semitism Fiasco Nancy Pelosi Just Showed She's A Helluva Weak Speaker Over Ilhan Omar's Anti-Semitism Fiasco https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/ha/2019/59/83be1589-915f-4371-bbd9-af3401822f03.png Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has Democrats running for the Pepto-Bismol again. She once again peddled an anti-Semitic talking point, this time heaving insinuating that those who support Israel have dual loyalty (via Washington Examiner): Rep. Ilhan Omar has intensified her claims that some Jewish lawmakers have a dual loyalty to Israel, rejecting criticism from Democratic colleagues that she is engaging in anti-Semitism. “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee,” Omar tweeted Sunday afternoon. “I am told everyday that I am anti-American if I am not pro-Israel. I find that to be problematic and I am not alone. I just happen to be willing to speak up on it and open myself to attacks.” Omar, an aggressive first-term Democrat hoping to bring left-wing views to the Foreign Affairs Committee, has drawn rebukes from Democratic leaders after her comments about the U.S.-Israel alliance. Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, who is Jewish, urged her on Friday to apologize for suggesting that Israel supporters “push for allegiance to a foreign country,” a claim that he dubbed “a vile anti-Semitic slur.” This isn’t the first time. Her tweet about AIPAC contributions and related donations are “all about the Benjamins,” a not so subtle swipe about Jewish money and political control.  In 2012, she said that Israel was hypnotizing the world as well. That post led to a sit-down with local Minnesota Jewish leaders, but given her serial refusal to recognize that her views are bigoted, they’re reportedly not going to treat her with “kid gloves” anymore. The fallout from the dual loyalty remarks has embroiled the House Democratic leadership in another nasty bout of infighting. The pressure to put forward a resolution was met with some intense criticism from fellow Democrats, which erupted into an all-out brawl behind closed doors yesterday. Some Democrats are rightfully saying that they should vote on the resolution condemning anti-Semitism. Others found it redundant and wondered why Omar was being held to a different standard.  This is the Democratic Party; everything is on a graduated scale. And obviously, anti-Semitism isn’t a serious problem compared to Trump being in the White House. The Left has long been infested with those who hate Israel and Jewish people, so this isn’t shocking. But this is common sense. Omar is being slammed, not because she’s black or a Muslim, but because she’d peddling outright anti-Semitic trash. And the fact that Pelosi can’t get her side under control over this just shows how weak of a speaker she has become. It took less than six months for the far left rodeo to overwhelm her. As Cortney wrote, she also defended Omar, pretty much saying that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about (via RCP) [emphasis mine]: ( VIDEO BELOW ) http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/03/07/pelosi_ilhan_omar_did_not_understand_the_full_weight_of_the_words_she_used.html?jwsource=twi ( FULL STORY IN LINK BELOW ) https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/03/07/nancy-pelosi-just-showed-shes-a-helluva-weak-speaker-over-ilhan-omars-anti-semi-n2542779
