Ilhan Omar certainly knows how to lie and gaslight with a straight face!

Omar joined CNN’s State of the Union alongside Representatives Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to talk about how House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has moved to block all three of them from their Congressional committee assignments. McCarthy already had Schiff and Swalwell removed from the House Intel Committee, and he has pledged to have Omar taken off the Foreign Affairs Committee.

As Deanna noted here, it was quite interesting watching Ilhan lie with Adam Schiff sitting right next to her! The entire interview with the three butt hurt politicians was entertaining to watch. I commend Dana Bash for actually committing journalism yesterday!

That said, Ilhan Omar flat out lied when she claimed that no one told her about tropes regarding Jews and money. She’s been well aware of this since prior to her first election. She’s made it clear from the get go that she will never be a fan of Israel and in fact would be thrilled to see Israel disappear off the face of the earth. Why else would she go to bat for Palestine numerous times? 

She’s on record claiming that 9/11 was merely some people did something, which essentially was a defense about the Muslim terrorists. She’s on record with her Benjamin’s commentary that led to a mere slap on the wrist from Nancy Pelosi. She’s ALSO on record for blasting people for daring to quote her. It’s “dangerous incitement” you see. 

It is still mind-boggling to me that the Democrats went ahead and put Ilhan on the Foreign Affairs Committee. That is the LAST place for a virulent anti-Semite to be. And yes folks, she is an anti-Semite. Always has been, always will be. 

So for her to lie and gaslight with a straight face yesterday was quite the show. 

This is some amazing bullshit. Plus that she's sitting next to Adam Schiff makes it even better. https://t.co/hip84q2eeU

Oh but folks, if you keep Ilhan off the Foreign Affairs Committee, then it is the rest of Congress and America that is racist…not her!

“And, in some cases, it’s motivated by the fact that many of these members don’t believe a Muslim, a refugee, an African should even be in Congress, let alone have the opportunity to serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee.”

When CNN host Dana Bash pressed her, asking if she was accusing McCarthy of racism, the Somali-born lawmaker appeared to demur.

“I mean, I’m not making any accusations,” Omar said. “I’m just laying out the facts. … These people are okay with Islamophobia. They’re okay with trafficking in their own ways in antisemitism. They are not okay with having a Muslim have a voice on that committee.”

Oh yes indeed, that was a passive/aggressive accusation alright. She said that deliberately, so now her base is going to absolutely believe it was anti-Muslim racism that will be the ONLY reason she’d get kicked off the committee! 

Israel is our greatest and best ally in the Middle East. That country is truly the only bastion of freedom in that area. They’ve stood for America as America has stood for Israel over the years. Ilhan Omar doesn’t want to stand for Israel, she wants Israel gone. As such, she’s a detriment on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and she should be kicked off. 

Ilhan has her supporters including, as of this weekend, Congressman Ken Buck. 

Considering Ken Buck represents me, you’d better believe his office has been called and emailed about this. His reasoning he gave during that interview was a load of horse shit.

Ilhan Omar definitely learned a LOT about antisemitic tropes…

Omar discovered that if she focuses on “Israel” and “Zionists” instead of “Jews” she can promote the same blood libels and get away with it without looking like an overt neo-Nazi à la Kanye… https://t.co/EkshSYzOdR

Ilhan Omar got reelected by a wilfully blind constituency. That doesn’t mean she deserves to keep her committee assignments. Secondly, no matter her condescending spin, Ilhan absolutely DOES and DID know that she was using anti-Semitic language in her speeches and tweets. 

Ilhan Omar is a liar. Period.
