Apologizing seriously weakens Omar, and won't diminish the attacks against her. If anything, her antagonists are now emboldened. Bad move.

yes: apologise from a position of strength, and in terms set by yourself. Never apologise from a position of weakness. Even though I think that in some ways Omar's comments were problematic, politically she would have done better to just brazen it out.

Chris Christie shut down a busy public beach on July 4th weekend so his family & friends could use it exclusively, then tried to lie about it even though he was spotted by news helicopters. Never forget.

It could have been worse. She got very close to restating her position saying sorry you misunderstood and calling her detractors racist.

"Never apologize. ESPECIALLY when your most guilty" is certainly an interesting moral standard to aspire to. Gas lighting as grand stategy.

The Trump strategy does indeed work, but the "attacks" on (criticisms of) her won't relent because it's doubtfully sincere. She remains on the Foreign Affairs committee, after all. Say what you will about the influence of money in politics, this marks a serious policy schism

the strength of the lobby is demonstrated by the outrage over a tweet and forcing an apology vs any outrage over Israeli human rights abuses - experiment is complete and validated

Yep. She knew, like nearly everyone else who read her tweets, whether they wanted to twist it into something else or not, that she was not being anti-Semitic. Now it looks like she was.
