So why don't they call out the president?
People should, and people do.
So why don't they call out the president?
From what I've read, Omar is critical of Israel's government and of the money being used to influence American politicians to be pro-Israel, but she's made some questionable comments that deserve some criticism and backlash. That backlash has evolved into smears against her rather than informed criticism. The article I linked earlier gives good context.Despite her being from my state, I have not read too much on her or know much about her. Being she is a rep for a different district than mine.
But if anyone knows more, maybe they can help me out.
Is she anit-Jew as a whole or more anti-Israel and the current way they form their policies? Meaning, I haven't read where she comes out against ALL Jewish people. But she certainly have something against the way Israel is run.
Does that make sense what I'm asking?
Ilhan Omar’s tweet revealed core truths about anti-Semitism in AmericaOmar’s tweet was bad. But the Republican reaction was profoundly hypocritical.
That's an article that's worth reading because it describes both why Omar deserved criticism and why a lot of the reaction is way overblown and hypocritical.
I'd say it has more to do with the fact that her and Taliab are openly, and shamelessly anti-Semitic.
My point was that if that were the case, it would have been a much bigger deal outside of Democratic circles when House MInority Leader Kevin McCarthy peddled the exact same crap. Or when Trump slipped this into a tweet:
Or when Steve King has done much worse, multiple times.
I think it has to do with the fact that they're Democrats and it's politically useful, because they've looked the other way on a lot of anti-semitism in the past.
she is a few fries short of a happy mealI didn't know where to put this, but it made me laugh.
I think her reasoning is he won't be removed from office via impeachment and she thinks it will galvanize his base and give him a shot at reelection where he will be untouchable for 4 more years. Her strategy is to use the evidence against him in a campaign setting, beating him at the ballet box then putting him in prison for his crimes once he is a regular civilian again.Pelosi reportedly told Democrats she wants Trump to go to prison. Yet she won’t impeach him. :dunno Is she trying to sound tough without actually doing anything? He’s not going to prison before his presidency is over (not that he is at all), so that’s a non starter.
