House Democrat Whip says Ilhan Omar's experience is more powerful than Jews several generations removed from Holocaust
This is the House Majority party's Whip.
They are not only not going to censure Omar, they are coming out openly supporting her Antisemitism. This is the Democrat Party 2019. Hard to believe a mainstream American political party is openly embracing Antisemitism.

Why is anyone surprised by this?
Why do so many Northeastern Jews consistently vote democraP?
It is certainly no secret.
I am, and will always be, a friend of Israel. Have had close relations with a lot of Jews, both in my business life and personal life.
I have been honored to participate in several Jewish rituals, through family and business relationships.

The result of a platform bankrupt of any workable ideas. The Dem’s reliance on Identity Politics is unsustainable. They are losing control of the monster they created.

That statement makes sense to me. Shes the bigger victim, black and Muslim to boot. She can say whatever she wants without consequences.
Shes like a victim billionaire!

I don't doubt her life did suck in Somalia and Kenya. You'd think that would result in her being grateful to have had the opportunity to come to the greatest, most free nation in history and to prosper, instead of being a smartass malcontent.

Surprises the hell out of me as well. Sorry if this stereotypic phrase upsets anyone, but I cannot image why this demographic is not the most rabidly pro-gun and pro-concealed-carry group in America.

So now the Democrats are going to fully return to their roots and start up their antisemitism once more. Like Elk said, not really surprised.
I found what you said riveting.

the statement may be an explanation but it's a poor excuse. to go on to minimize other people's experiences the way it does is pathetic. i'm surprised even the dims would release such a statement.

It continues to amaze me that this lunacy, this mass-hysteria of the Left continues unabated. Up is down, black is white, hate is love, and so on.
According to this article in the WSJ, the number of hate crimes committed against Jews rose 37% in 2017 to 938, while the number of anti-Islamic crimes fell 11% to 273.
But facts appear to have no meaning to the Left and near-Left, who care only for sound bytes and feel-good propaganda.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

That was my immediate reaction to this thread. If nothing else, we must keep statements like these in mind when thinking about other proposals from the left.

Can't wait to use this on the next person of African or Mexican descent when they start sobbing about "transgressions" against "their people" that they themselves never had to endure, nor their parents and possibly not even their grandparents.
Love it!
