absolutely. but i thought she apologized and was learning. did she do something else i missed?

Yeah, this is different than her AIPAC and it’s all about the benjamins comments. From Politico, “the resolution...comes after a backlash from top Democrats who accused Omar of anti-Semitism for referring to pro-Israel advocates’ “allegiance to a foreign country.”

gotcha. i looked it up after you tweeted too and figured it out. i feel you for sure, but there just has to be a better way to handle this than this. especially when they didn't similarly respond to any of the white nationalist sentiments over the last year in the same way.
