    Trump is cynically calling on Omar to resign, because Democrats cynically condemned her yesterday, after pundits cynically pretended they were outraged that she quoted a rap lyric. This entire affair is astonishingly cynical, and if you can't recognize that, you're a dupe

        Is the rap lyric you're referring to "It's all about the Benjamins"?

        Trump and the GOP had a real opportunity to just let the Dems play their game — call them out for cynicism — and blew it, instead jumped right into the fray.

        Because it's not and people have only begun saying this as the reaction to calling an innocuous Puff Daddy lyric anti-Semitic has been one of overwhelming scorn.

        Cynical about politics in USA 2019? Well yeah, most voters do feel cynical about their ability to influence USGov to improve their lives.

        Where are the people that cried about Bernie SOU response, claiming that he's slighting a "black woman" by doing something he's done every year since 2016? Is Omar not "black" enough? Is she not "woman" enough? #IStandWithIlhan

        What was cynical was when Omar committed campaign fraud in her district, telling voters she was against BDS in the campaign and immediately, just days after being elected, changing her position. Trump is correct that her anti-Semitism is "deep-seated" and her apology was a lie.

        Yes, just as cynical as the many times white Republicans have been accused of virulent racism based on clumsy gaffes, tasteless jokes, verbal faux pas, etc. This is an example of political karma, the tools for imputing motive are comparable on both Left & Right.

        On the back of talking about Israel's"hypnotic" power. Context matters.

        What you think is the bigger issue... Israel exerting an outsized influence on American politics or Omar quoting some rap songs? Why is the former issue quietly brushed under the carpet?
