Or just listen to her words and take note of her actions. Rep. Ilhan Omar targets Israel again, compares Jewish state to US South during segregation By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar is appointed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee despite anti-Israel remarks U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, tweeted another comment about Israel on Thursday night, after previously landing in hot water for posts that critics have called anti-Semitic. This time, the freshman lawmaker agreed with a liberal activist, who wrote online that current-day Israel is much like the U.S. South was during segregation. The latest episode began Thursday night after the liberal activist, Max Berger, blasted the American Jewish Committee for its criticism of Omar, the Somali-born congresswoman, who recently said that she “chuckles” whenever people describe Israel as a democracy. MINNESOTA'S REP. ILHAN OMAR GETS $250G BOOK DEAL AMID UPROAR OVER HER COMMENTS “The American Jewish establishment claims Israel is a democracy for all its citizens. But the nation state law classifies 1.6 million Palestinian Israelis as second class. And 4.7 million people live under Israeli military occupation or control without political or human rights,” Berger claimed. Later in the thread, Berger agreed with Omar that Israel is “not a real democracy.” He also compared Israel to the segregated South. “Israel is like the south before 1963: millions of people under Israeli control are denied the right to vote, speak freely or assemble because of their ethnicity. It's a democracy for Jews only. That's not a real democracy,” Berger tweeted. REP. ILHAN OMAR FACING NEW SCRUTINY OVER PAST EFFORT TO WIN LENIENCY FOR 9 MEN ACCUSED OF TRYING TO JOIN ISIS Omar endorsed the tweet, sharing his anti-Israel rhetoric to her more than 471,000 followers. “Many of them truly know this, but don’t want to accept it. In the same way many Americans knew separate yet equal was immoral but remained silent until brave few were silent no more,” Omar wrote. REP. ILHAN OMAR DELETES TWEET ATTACKING COVINGTON STUDENTS, AFTER BACKLASH “They can attack, spin my words and vilify me, but they will not succeed in silencing me,” she added. Shortly after being sworn in to Congress, the Minnesota Democrat was on the defensive for her tweet claiming Israel had “hypnotized the world.” Earlier this month, several Republicans condemned a decision by Democratic leaders to appoint Omar to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, charging that she has a history of making overtly anti-Semitic comments. The strong GOP criticism came as Omar separately fielded wide-ranging criticism for posting on Twitter that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was "compromised" -- and then, in a head-turning interview on CNN, admitting she had no evidence for the assertion other than that Graham sometimes supported President Trump. Omar has since rejected suggestions that her comments were intended as a homophobic dog whistle.
My hope is that we get a few worthy candidates and not two radical ones. I think Howard Shultz (not that id vote for him, maybe?) has it pegged about two parties that are currently needing some prozac or something. Its like some much hate from both sides and seriously wanting to strip the other from any respect at all. Im teaching my grandkids not to get caught up in all this hate back and forth but be a peace maker and have a nice of balance in life must most of all, be respectful to others regardless of race, religion or politics (as long as it isn't anti-American). And also to respect Old Glory!

Schmidt | Fox News Maryland Del. Mary Ann Lisanti said she will return to the floor of the Maryland House of Delegates Wednesday amid calls for her resignation over her use of a racial slur. (AP Photo/Brian Witte) A Democratic state lawmaker who used a racial slur to describe a legislative district returned to the floor of the Maryland House of Delegates in Annapolis Wednesday — days after colleagues voted to censure her. Mary Ann Lisanti, a delegate who represents Harford County, said she wanted some space from her colleagues who called for her resignation on Thursday. She told The Baltimore Sun she retreated to her home in Havre de Grace on Friday and returned to the capital on Tuesday. MARYLAND STATE LAWMAKERS VOTE UNANIMOUSLY TO CENSURE HOUSE DEMOCRAT OVER RACIAL SLUR Lisanti reportedly missed votes on Friday, Monday and Tuesday and was absent from a Harford County delegation meeting. She returned to her office Tuesday to prepare for a hearing on one of her bills Wednesday. The House of Delegates voted unanimously, 136-0, to censure her last week following reports about an offensive comment she made in January at a social gathering after hours. Lisanti told a white colleague she had been campaigning in a “[N-word] district” in mostly black Prince George's County to support a candidate in last fall's elections, according to The Washington Post. Despite calls for her resignation, Lisanti has refused to step down. Fox News’ Paulina Dedaj, Samuel Chamberlain and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
@MARIS61 i finally figured out your game! You have been playing rastas alter ego from when he went ballistic after the elections. I get it now. Lol
Ilhan Omar Published 25 mins ago Ilhan Omar 'knows exactly what she is doing' with comments deemed anti-Semitic, author says By Victor Garcia | Fox News Accusations of anti-Semitism against Rep Omar dividing Congress National Review Institute Fellow Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News on Wednesday he believes freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., knows “exactly what she is doing” with comments that've been judged by many to be anti-Semitic. Hanson said the Democratic Party delayed a vote to condemn anti-Semitism because new progressive members would “walk” over their hatred of Israel. “They have a problem because the Democratic Party leadership ... they have to have a blanket, generic, meaningless statement because if they were actually going to be exact and focus and really oppose anti-Semitism, about a third of this new Democratic progressive party would walk,” Hanson said on “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” “because they really do not like Israel and they are very resentful of this Jewish state.” Hanson pointed out that Omar’s primary focus has been Israel, while she has avoided focusing on other humanitarian crises spanning the globe. “Why is it always just Israel and the Jews? And then she resents when people push back,” Hanson said. “We understand why you’re doing it, it represents your constituents, it represents the new wing of the Democratic Party. There’s benefits to be accrued. Go to it!” Crenshaw: There is a far left wing of the Democratic Party that truly do not like Israel “But then don’t get angry when people say, ‘Don’t try to fool us, we’re not stupid.’ Israel and the Jewish state have certain implications and we know what is going on and it’s anti-Semitic,” Hanson added. Accusations of anti-Semitism have marred Omar’s three-month stint in Congress, and she’s been condemned by members of both parties. She initially apologized but changed her tone recently. MSNBC PANEL DEFLECTS OMAR CRITICISM, BLAMES TRUMP INSTEAD Fellow freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has continued to defend Omar, calling out other controversial utterances from other members of Congress. “One of the things that is hurtful about the extent to which reprimand is sought of Ilhan is that no one seeks this level of reprimand when members make statements about Latinx+ other communities,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Tuesday. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, sees it differently, saying the “far-left” elements in the Democratic Party believe exactly what Omar is being accused of implying. “There is a far-left wing of their party that ... is in true disagreement with them. They truly do not like Israel. They truly believe all the things that Omar has been saying,” Crenshaw told MacCallum. “She believes it. That should really be clear to everybody by now. She’s been trying to tell us for a long time and it’s been explained away multiple times now. There’s been apologies made for her.”

The DNC needs a conference call with this chick. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&sou...aw0A4G5l2-90MhGnoxVmMIhs&ust=1552014793684610
If the 2016 election is any indication, Please, God, please help them to commit 'suicide' more often.
DNC controlled House voted to continue ignoring/supporting 3 rabid bigots in their ranks, Pelosi clearly is leader in name only. It's both hilarious and frightening to see her flailing against a sea of hate and anti-Americanism at the party's most vulnerable point in history, unable to stop the mob tearing down America. DNC Deep State in a battle for their existence with foreign-seeded and supported members. Won't be long before DNC is rightly pegged as an undeclared agent of a foreign government (Iran, Al Qaeda, ISIS) and it's leaders face prosecution for treason.
Funny stuff coming from a guy who fully supports the head of the mobsters, Trump who calls everyone who testifies a 'Rat'.
Just keeps getting better. While all the Dem leaders are publicly throwing out lame cover for her hateful and bigoted attacks on Jewish-Americans, anti-Semite/anti-American Isis supporter Oman juts mocked Barack Obama's Hope and Change and called him a conniving baby-murderer. Can't wait to hear Pelosi and Bernie Demsplain that one away.
Every time I see this thread I think wouldn't it be great if the Democratic Party and the Republican both got flushed down the drain. I know my immediate family says it's just wasting votes, but I support 3rd, 4th parties because they bring something new to the table if they ever (I doubt they will) got more support we'd have such a better dialogue I believe.
My thinking is more parties will become more relevant and like you say slowly get flushed/watered down over time. And the reason why, is what we've already experienced in 2016 with so many republicans running against one another a few democrats, Bernie isn't one, but ran as one. Now, coming up in 2020 you've got a huge field unfolding of Dem's with a % pushing hard for democratic socialism. The circuit that will seek out multiple parties, of near equal representation is, 24/7 news & social media. Because of the new wave of segregation, I prefer to call it social segmentation, thats taking place (not just race, but politics religion and social beliefs) segmented parties will be the natural result. Im hoping it will happen sooner than later.
and then we have these beautiful comments by republican congressmen. Care to comment? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/personal-foul/
