Keep It Up, Ilhan Omar

[PaulS]

I think the comment about the benjamins was worse and she needs to start watching what she says.

But......it would be nice to see a little consistancy what with the constant vile things Trump says.

Earlier this week, Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio, accused Representative Jerry Nadler of doing the bidding of the wealthy liberal donor “Tom $teyer,” whose father was Jewish. (To be clear, this tweet counts both as inane AND anti-Semitic,” Nadler responded.) Representative Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who is one of Trump’s fiercest defenders, once brought an internet troll who’d denied the Holocaust to the State of the Union. Omar gestured at the idea of dual loyalty, but Donald Trump, speaking to American Jews last December, referred to Israel as “your country.” Indeed, no president has done more to mainstream classically anti-Semitic ideas about an authentic volk at war with parasitical globalists. It’s maddening to watch men who’ve flirted with outright fascism — like former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka, who wore the medal of a Nazi-aligned Hungarian group to one of Trump’s inaugural balls — act like sanctimonious defenders of the Jews.

Right, because Trump always gets a free pass when he says something outrageous.

Where do you get the impression that no one on the right ever holds him accountable?

Bc the Rep. reps. sit on their hands an might say "that is inaproptiate" then go on giving Tump their undying love. 90% approval for the most vile, lying Pres. (and prob. person) in history. At least she said she is sorry.

This thread is prob. longer than any other thread about bad language and she is a 1st term rep. vs the Pres. of the US.

They sit on their hands? I guess where you get your news, you don't see Republicans routinely criticizing him for his awful comments.

"90% approval for the most vile, lying Pres. (and prob. person) in history"

Do they approve of the lying and vile behavior? Or do they approve of the economy, judicial selections, and handling of ISIS?

"This thread is prob. longer than any other thread about bad language "

It's not about profanity, it's about religious bigotry. Her religion, isn't known for their fondness of the Jews, maybe you heard something about that.

"she is a 1st term rep"

She is an adult who is responsible for her actions.

"vs the Pres. of the US"

Why? What does Trump have to do, with her hatred of Jews?

This is about her.

I certainly don't see anyone in Congress saying squat. And what I mostly hear is "This all boils down to, he beat them. he beat them at their own game - fighting dirty, lying, smearing, and insulting his opponents. He beat them at their own game, he pulverized them at their own game, by winning the election."

See above

Your prejudice against Muslims shows again, Perhaps a little reflection on what Christianity's views of other religions and history of oppression might change your opinion, but I doubt it

"she is a 1st term rep"

She is an adult who is responsible for her actions.
And she took responsibility and apologized

"vs the Pres. of the US"

Who has NEVER apologized

This is about her.

Go to the wall for Trump as usual

It's the first time I heard it expressed succinctly like that--and it's pretty right on. Your "mostly" angle is puzzling. You do seem to have this quantitative "more" meme buzzing in your brain.

Do you have a prejudice against Christians? Why should Jim reflect on Christian views in respect to this Omar matter? And hasn't past Christian oppression been duly criticized and reversed?

And she took responsibility and apologized
Who has NEVER apologized

If you're referring to Trump, I recall that he apologized for his foul language in the Access Hollywood tapes. But requiring him to apologize for phony stuff like his supposedly white supremacist Charlottesville remarks, and Muslim violence in Sweden, etc. is pure politics. It was clear to any honest person that he didn't mean what the left claimed.

And wasn't King removed from his committee assignment for supposed white nationalist remarks?

Go to the wall for Trump as usual

As usual, you want to tear the wall down.

Because you get your news from godforsaken places.

Bit she keeps doing it. She's not sorry, if she keeps doing it. She's sorry she got caught.

"Go to the wall for Trump as usual "

Pointing out a jew hating fanatic, is going to the wall for Trump? I thought Trump was also an anti-Semite? So how is defending Jews, going to the wall for Trump?
