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.

I was really impressed how Omar apologized and engaged following her benjamins/AIPAC comments. The racism and Islamophobia she faces is so ugly. I don’t understand the ins/outs of House rules and don’t know if they didn’t bring it up because they weren’t in the majority or

...if they didn’t have the votes to censure a Republican and only for a fellow Democrat? But I apsolutely agree the President and other GOPs Congress have said much worse and that she’s being targeted as a Muslim WOC. That said, we also need a space to call her in on antisemitism

agreed. also, we need to be able to critique israel without it being considered anti-semitic. (it seems like here though, her language was the issue.) but yes, she's already being attacked and having her family threatened, so why do this and make them even more vulnerable?
