Update: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has apologized over Twitter, saying in a statement that she is “grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” and that her intention “is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.”
She added, however, that she reaffirms “the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry.”

Looks like she had a little sit down with the mafia.
We’ll see if her job is more important than the truth. It’s already looking like the former.
Yep. She took 2 oaths, one to the Constitution and one to Israel. She forgot the only one she needed to uphold was the latter. The first is just Lip Service.
‘If you want to know who rues over you……’
Funny how Americans just can’t seem to see this.
This country is lost.
When some politician rightfully criticizes Israel and does NOT WALK BACK ON IT. let me know! Trafficant and McKinney did not walk back on it and their Congress careers were lost. Ron Paul also usually spoke the truth on this and then his own son Rand endorsed MITT ROMNEY instead of his own father for Repub Prez candidate in 2012. So you can speak the truth about Israel but ready for the consequences.
Bluwater is right, but more and more Americans will see it at some point. I did in 2006, when I learned the truth about the USS Liberty, when Israel couldn’t even beat Hezbollah, and when I gave up Christian Zionism for good. But it started with the “dancing Israelis” on 9-11,, and when Benny boy said 9-11 was good for Israel.
By the way Omar, and you too Tlaib and AOC, Israel does NOT rule over me! And never will! The SoS will just have to behead me…
So an American Congress woman says the lobby of a foreign nation has a stranglehold on this nation and uses it to manipulate and influence its policies and that’s called anti semitic and is then forced to change her views to suit that lobby and its nations interests. Clearly she was wrong and anti semitic.

“Truth-tellers like #IlhanOmar are forced to apologize for stating the fact that Zionist money influences Congress and the White House. We must all pretend that SHELDON ADELSON’S MILLIONS OF DOLLARS haven’t influenced Trump. We must deny reality or we will be libeled by the media.”

She called a spade a spade, then FOLDED.
I’m not buying this b.s. No one at that level is that naive. I think this is to start implementing so-called ‘anti-Semitic hate laws’ (which won’t apply to the TRUER Semites – Palestinians/Arabs, than the stinking jews). This is to show the sheeple that since a politician won’t be allowed any ‘anti-Semitic’ leeway, then the public shouldn’t be allowed any either.
They’re going to push this ‘anti-Semite’ bullsh#t to the limit.
I find this a brilliant perspective, #1. Thank you!!

It’s what I’ve thought from the beginning, galen. It’s another distraction, granted, but one with a goal in mind as well. Here’s one more chip to throw in the kitty…
