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

      Should've emulated Trump in this instance. "Never apologize." It works.

      Although, Trump does sometimes apologize. Chris Christie recounts in his new book that Trump apologized after he accused him during a rally of knowing about "Bridge-gate." But the apology was private. Omar apologized under duress, which is the worst circumstance to do so.

          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. #ChrisChristiehttps://twitter.com/jennyjenli/status/882557914128551936 …

          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.

          You make a good point, Tracey. Apologizing- or seeming to apologize, as in this case- unfortunately makes one look weak as Trump, who never apologizes, understands. But there is no downside in doing it privately and #Trump conned #Christie by (allegedly) privately apologizing.

          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.
