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.

No, they’re imperialists.

She was probably given a direct order to apologize or face severe punishment. Dem leaders must be terrified of losing funding from pro-Israel supporters, think about it. Maybe socially she didn't "have" to apologize, but I see this as coming down to pure money & power dynamics.

But, there is an opportunity for people to take up her mantle about money influence, because anyone that stridently criticised her was clearly tipping their hand and was protecting their own skin in the pay for play game. Don't let them get away with it anymore.

Yes, and the GOP is already calling her anti-semitic for calling out Abrams today. Good god, you can't criticize any Jewish person without getting that label in their world. It's despicable. This whole thing has been so frustrating and depressing.

Are you talking about the progressive left, whose policies are favored by a majority of Americans and in some cases even a majority of Republicans?
#MedicareForAll#M4A because clearly that makes us like Al Queda

Disagree. It was funny, but there was no punchline.

You were cynical when you approved of anti-Semite Omar lying to the voters in MN when she told them she was not for BDS and then instantly flip-flopped right after the election.

I agree that the criticism was overblown, but I also think it's a bit ridiculous to imagine she *isn't* an anti-semite, by the standard definition of the term. Let's not get misty-eyed about Islamic colonists.
