AOC can't admit that she was wrong to label Omar's tweet anti-semitic, which helped set this ongoing shitshow in motion. Instead, she is scolding her left-wing critics on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/AOC/status/1103276803681071104 …

AOC's investment in the ideology of identity came back to bite her here, because it emboldened bad faith critics of Omar to "use her own logic against her." This should be a lesson, but it won't be: the ideology will continue generating phony scandals and cynical attacks

Another example:
@juliaioffe tweets about feeling "uncomfortable" but doesn't say exactly why, thus leaving me, at least, with the impression that Omar did something wrong.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/1102688945534652418 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Who sets the standards? Who is chosen to make these 'independent evaluations?' Does the community that claims to be offended have a say?

And when did non-Jews become the inheritors of defining what does and doesn't offend the Jewish community? Would this dismissal of minority grievance be applied to any other vulnerable group? Do you believe U.S. Jews no longer suffer from prejudice?

The problem is, they can't defend her super-vigorously, because she is likely Anti-Semitic and they don't want to keep a spotlight on her

Are you saying "all the claims of offense re: Omar were bogus"? Each and every one? By every single individual?

It's funny, though:
@IlhanMN fully agrees with@AOC's take on the matter, and both of them have understood something you haven't.https://theintercept.com/2019/02/28/exclusive-ilhan-omar-speaks-out-on-her-twitter-scandal-anti-semitism-and-a-progressive-foreign-policy/ … - 1 more reply

She’s walked back her initial statements upon observation and now firmly stands with Omar against these claims of anti semitism which are clearly being weaponized. But keep going Tracey, I know you have a larger point that you’ll make regardless of how faulty it is.

I’m bored with AOC already. Too much exposure and her non stop virtue signaling/morally superior tweets are getting annoying.

no claim of “I’m offended” is valid. the claim is true or false, and not much turns on it in either case.

Very cool that you can read the minds of Jewish people. Please tell me more about what things I do and do not find offensive.
