#1 Translation - racist is OK if you are part of the progressive team.

#2 At one time I thought Omar's team was smart enough to make her anti semitism more subtle but maybe they can't control her. So Omar's antisemitic twitter storms will keep her in the news for many more cycles.

I'm waiting for the more sophisticated anti-Semites to call her a disgrace to anti antisemitism.

#4 And you know, we can't boycott her constituents, because all they make is welfare claims. Oh, wait...

#5 As a Jew, i think the best thing is to not pay attention to her. Everyone knows who she is. It's up to the people of her district to address the issue.

Ignoring her will be a difficult task for the media.

#6 "...the people of her district" Yeah, that's how she got elected. What she's doing now is faithfully serving her constituencies. Did Dems vote to denounce antisemitism?

#7 It's not the "people of her district" that elevated her to that influential committee. They'd vote for any khat-chewing islamist imbecile. It's the Identity-Pandering Democrats™ that gave her that choice spot. They should have it rubbed early and often in their moral-supremacy faces

#8 she should NEVER have been appointed to this committee in the first place

I believe the appointment follows application and a sizable buy-in. There is a financed strategy in play.

#9 like #5 said. Nothing to be gained by expending synapse pulses over her.

Anyone who doesn't know what she is about is either beyond reaching or a fellow traveler, imo.

Just sit back and let the Dem leadership tie themselves in knots trying to square an impossible circle.

And vote.
