    The great irony is that Omar didn't have to apologize, politically speaking. Major swaths of the Democratic grassroots agree with her. She represents an electorally-safe district. She could've used the controversy to gain even more leverage and support. But she got awful advice.

        It was actually an opportunity to demonstrate that capitulating in the face of vulgar attacks and misrepresentations was no longer necessary. And that standing firm was politically *advantageous*. But now she's delegitimized, and the attacks continue. Apologizing improved nothing

        Blame the cowardly, cynical liberals (and some leftists) who rushed to condemn her, setting the stage for the frenzy that ensued. It's because of them that her forceful questioning of the ghoul Elliott Abrams today, for example, will be overshadowed. These people are total idiots

        She's the one who needed to be "educated" about opaque "tropes" but somehow the prominent Dems don't need to "learn" anything about the Somali-American experience as it relates to Israel

        Another irony is that while Omar cannot criticize pro-Israel organizations without being accused of antisemitism, former officials in DC can routinely pass off ethnic slurs against Russians - “ deception is in their genes” - as legitimate opinion.

        That was my thought. You can't grill Elliot Abrams if Pelosi strips you from the foreign relations committee.

        It's not only grassroots Dems who agree with her on this particular issue, but conservatives of the anti-neocon sort as well.

        The ire legitimately should be directed at Israeli Policy/Government. Not the Jewish people obviously. The Israeli occupation of Palestine infuriates me. Consider me an Anti Neocon.

        Dems that depend on AIPAC money made her apologize. That is why no one ever criticises Israel.

        The Dems have a “special” way of getting their “people” to toe the line. It is not pretty.

        She probably would have been stripped of her committee assignments. She is a voice on Venezuela that we can't afford to lose.

        She may already regret the apology having seen some of the reaction. But she was not prepared for the assault. She may be prepared for it now but doesn’t feel she can backtrack on her apology. Unfortunate.
