It has been interesting to see how every major figure in the political system has gone after Moslem Congressperson Ilhan Omar. All because she dared to mention that the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC exists. Somehow stating that AIPAC exists is anti-Semitic and something you can’t say.
President Trump even attacked her and called for her to resign.
President Trump on Tuesday called on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) to resign for comments on Israel that were criticized as anti-Semitic.
“I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” Trump said of the freshman lawmaker.
Omar apologized on Monday for suggesting that U.S. support for a Jewish state is the result of money flowing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), an influential pro-Israel lobbying group.
The comments were quickly condemned by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders. But House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told Roll Call that Omar would not be stripped of her committee assignments.
The president said Omar’s comments are “deep seated in her heart” and called her apology “lame.”
This is completely insane and reveals that the federal government is totally dominated by Jewish interests. If it was not, why would everybody from Donald Trump, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy all condemn her over this? And remember, all she did was say that AIPAC exists and that they use money to lobby politicians.
So what is Trump trying to say by condemning her? That AIPAC doesn’t exist and does not lobby politicians? Well, it is a fact that AIPAC both exists and tries to influence politics to benefit Israel. It is just an inconvenient fact that nobody wants to bring up.
