If the Left and the establishment media had any standards of decency whatsoever at this point, Omar would be long ago. The Republican establishment likewise has been unaccountably silent. Only President Trump has had the courage to speak up and tell the truth about this.
“Now Trump says new Rep. Ilhan Omar should RESIGN and calls her ‘unequivocal’ apology ‘lame’ after Democratic leaders blasted lawmaker for using ‘anti-Semitic tropes,'” by Geoff Earle, Dailymail.com, February 12, 2019:
President Donald Trump turned up the pressure on Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar Tuesday, demanding the first-term lawmaker resign over her Twitter comments that many of her own colleagues called anti-Semitic.
‘I think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee,’ Trump said – stoking a controversy that prompted senior Democrats and party leaders blasting Omar’s comments about Israel.
Speaking at the top of a meeting with his cabinet, Trump said Omar’s comments were ‘deep seeded in her heart.’ He also called her apology, issued Monday after the entire Democratic leadership issued a statement condemning her comments, ‘lame.’
Omar apologized ‘unequivocally,’ she said. But she added: ‘At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry.’
One of the tweets that drew criticism was her one word tweet: ‘AIPAC!’ which referenced the powerful American Israel PAC. She also tweeted ‘all about the Benjamins’ – in comments colleagues said made it seem Israel supporters adopted their positions for cash.
Trump’s determination to tee off on the issue was revealed on the bottom of his hand-written notes. They said: in all capital letters that ‘Congresswoman Omar should be asked to resign or at least get off the Foreign Affairs Committee.’
Trump also weighed in on the controversy swirling around Rep. Ilhan Omar Monday night, saying the first-term lawmaker ‘should be ashamed of herself’ for her ‘all about the Benjamins’ comment.
‘I think she should be ashamed of herself. I think it was a terrible statement. And I don’t think her apology was adequate, the president told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to a Texas campaign rally….
mortimer says
How much evidence do American Jewish Dem-loyalists need before they conclude that the Dems are not their friends. If the Dems were truly supporters of Jews and Israel, Ilhan Omar would never have been allowed to run as a Democrat. The Dems are the DUPLICIT-OCRATS.
Manuek 2 Paleologus says
This muslima represents islam and not the American people , the crazy and morons, who voted for this anti-American so called politicians. She represents what the liberal demagogue democrats stand for today. I cannot imagine how blind those Americans were when voted for this muslima. Her place is outside of the US Congress. The Congress becomes a laughable political entity.
Ken Olson says
Who else but we , who read and know, will stand up to Islam spouting it’s hatred of Jews and Christians
WPM says
Maybe a “committee” should be form to look into her welfare and immigration fraud that was bought up early on jihad watch. Her claim her brother was her husband to get him face track to be able to immigrate here. How they both collected welfare here under a family title as husband and wife? Or a look into that other Moslem woman the fat heifer in congress” from” Dearborn who ran for a seat in a district that she did not live in.
Imbit (@jmbitz) says
Right. Ms. Omar should be packed in a burqa and sent to that wonderful prosperous Somalia. She seems to be talented, smart, she speaks well and is a born leader. She will, surely, help her beloved Moslem Somalia rise even higher in prosperity, Sharia observance and FGM.
tedh754 says
There is no limit to the depredations Muslims will commit to further the cause of their filth.
Joe says
She had accusations of student loan fraud as well.
Terry Gain says
Good for President Trump. He is about to receive some good news as the Mueller investigation will end with no evidence of any wrongdoing by Trump. The attempted coup has failed. Hopefully there will now be a real investigation of Clinton.

dan christensen says
The Left and the establishment media are overflowing with standards of decency always.
They define ‘decency’ as anything that does not offend the invading ‘Herrenvolk’.
Always be careful when uttering words beginning and ending with the letter ‘m’. It might be mighty offensive to the cultural enriching.
Terry Gain says
The Left thinks with its stomach. The bile gets in the way of reason and fairness.
abad says
Omar should be impeached. She can not now nor ever represent the United States of America and Americans.
The ONLY thing she can represent is Islam and Moslems. Period.
Terry Gain says
Can a Representative be impeached? Someone posted on another thread that that remedy is not available.
somehistory says
“The Constitution provides that a Senator or Representative may be removed from office by their own chamber of Congress by a two-thirds vote of the members present. Only the most serious offenses, such as treason or accepting bribes, are grounds for expulsion. ”
Article I, Section 5, Clause 2
“Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member.”

So Omar is safe unless she brings a bomb to the Capitol,
abad says
Oh she will commit treason, look at where her sympathies lay.
somehistory says
The truth is out and evident. Who will stick up for the truth? Not the moslims, nor those who wish moslims to succeed in their goals of forcing all to submit to satan and their beast he created.
Will more eyes be opened since this has occurred and the President has spoken on it?
David Grisez says
Both Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are both anti-semitic Congresspersons, it looks like Ilhan Omar is more vocal about it. Both these women are supposed to represent the people living in their Congressional Districts, but instead they are representing the purposes of Islam.
Terry Gain says
Their districts are populated by Muslims. They are doing an excellent job of representing their constituents.
gravenimage says
They aren’t all Muslims. A lot of foolish Infidels voted for these creeps, as well. Most of them probably understood little about these Muslims’ views, but thought voting for a Muslimah was “progressive”.
Rarely says
There are, of course, many, many non-muslim Americans who don’t see anti-Semitism as a negative trait. Not all of them are hard left or Democrats. Many Trump supporters sare just as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel as any one on the far left. It’s a pretty big club.
eduardo odraude says
“Many”? That seems far too wide a term. Recall that Trump’s daughter is Jewish, son-in-law is I think an Orthodox Jew, and among US presidents Trump is one of the biggest supporters of Israel. So I’d think that “many” anti-Semites hate Trump’s guts.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Eduardo.
Wellington says
Again I am confirmed in my conviction that voting for Trump as I did in 2016 was definitely the correct thing to do. He is a street fighter and takes no bull from anyone, rather like Andrew Jackson. It’s no coincidence, I would argue, that one of the few Presidential portraits Trump instructed to be hung in the Oval Office is that of Jackson, America’s 7th President. If one wishes to understand Trump, you couldn’t do much better than studying the life of Andrew Jackson.
Two of a kind and the kind that will keep America strong. And America continuing to be strong, even with all its faults (which it has acknowledged at least as much as any polity in history and way more than the vast majority of states have), is the single greatest guarantor that freedom and prosperity will exist on earth rather than authoritarianism and poverty for the masses, the latter reality being prevalent in one Islamic nation after another, for instance where Omar emigrated from and which woman, can there be any doubt, would relish turning America into another Islamic totalitarian shithole.
Jayme says
Trump is much like Ford in Ontario there to honest.
mortimer says
Agree with W. A tough guy like A. Jackson. Too true. Obama weakened America horribly by appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood and helping them infiltrate.
Nona says
I don’t like islam, it’s bad that islamices are in Congress. but what she said is true. Why can’t you see that? Are you so much in defence of israel and everything it does, that you can’t see that ?
Wellington says
Here’s what I see, Nona: Israel is the only truly free country in the Middle East where Israeli-Arabs enjoy far more freedom than Arabs do in the over twenty Arab countries that exist. Israel is an outpost of the greatest civilization in history, i.e. Western Civilization, which explored and developed more freedoms than any other civilization from remote antiquity to the present day.
As Israel goes, so goes the West. It is the canary in the coal mine which is Western Civilization. I don’t think you get this. I don’t think you get this at all.
Terry Gain says
Nona
Everyone who, post Holocaust, does not support the right of the Jewish people to live in peace in the sanctuary of their ancestral homeland is morally depraved. Or is ignorant about the history of the region.
So Nona, are you ignorant or morally depraved? How many more dead Jews will satisfy you?
Brigitte from Germany says
@ Wellington
and
Terry Gain
Thanks for you good and right comments.
God safe America and Israel.
Raja says
+1 to both Wellington and Terry Gain for the replies.
eduardo odraude says
Brigitte, God save Germany, too. And India.
Jayme says
Nona
But where does it stop what if people like Omar call for camps to be set up where all jewish people will have to go to would you support that.
Terry Gain says
She hasn’t thought that far ahead.
gravenimage says
Nona many not have thought that far ahead–but I bet Ilhan Omar has…
gravenimage says
It looks as though Nona does not believe we should support democratic Israel, the only free country in the Middle East and our staunchest ally, but should instead throw her to the Jihadists who want to destroy her. *Ugh*.
Jayme says
I think we should all call out Israel when they do something wrong such as build on the west bank but we should be just as quick to call out Hamas.
gravenimage says
So building on the “West Bank” is the same as slaughtering people?
Wellington says
Egregious moral equivalency thinking, Jayme. Building on the West Bank, which by the way Israel has every right to do (N.B., Jews can’t build in Muslim lands but Muslims can not only build in Muslim lands but expel Jews—as an example, the creation of Transjordan in 1922, whereby some 78% of the British Palestinian Mandate where Jews were no longer allowed at all and were expelled, indeed, even Jewish graves were desecrated in Transjordan).
Wake the hell up, Jayme. The freest Muslims in all of the Middle East are Israeli-Arabs. And you are so stupid (yes, stupid) to compare Jewish building in the West Bank roughly equivalent to Hamas wanting to slaughter all Jews, including Jewish children. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I am so effing sick of moronic moral equivalency thinking as you just proffered. Islam profits by such moronic moral equivalency and you just provided more ammunition by your post to the bad guys.
Terry Gain says
The anti-Semitic UN did not give the Jews enough land to reasonably support an expanding nation. The Palestinians rejected the UN Resolution which would have given them a state. Jordan attacked Israel and abandoned any attempt to control the West Bank. Jordan does not need or want the West Bank and the land has been forfeited. it was never occupied. There has never been a Palestinian state.
Rarely says
The problem is that Israel is held to an infinitely higher moral standard than its neighbours. Israel is under a microscope and still fares remarkably well. It’s degenerate enemies are not required to act morally in any way, shape or form, and get a free pass on their atrocities.
That is not to say Israel is perfect but compared to most of the other countries on the planet it is to be admired on so many levels..
gravenimage says
Terry, it is not so much that Israel is expanding as that Muslims used the “West Bank” to attack Israel.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Rarely.
gravenimage says
Trump calls on anti-Semitic Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar to resign, calls her non-apology “lame”

Good for him!
Bezelel says
Nevermind CAIR influencing government and courts and schools, multi level lobby
eduardo odraude says
Man, which politician would call people on all the BS going on — like Omar’s Jew hatred — if it weren’t for Trump? His lack of PC BS is such a relief.
Georg says
Definitely
TKF says
They just can’t help themselves. Jew hatred is in Islam’s DNA. As much as they twist themselves into pretzels to deny they are Anti-Semites it keeps popping out. BDS and criticism of Israel are back door ways for Muslims and the radical left to be Jew haters and pretend they are not. Those who say they are not against Jews but only against Israel are LIARS. Muslims don’t hate Jews because of Israel, they hate Israel because of Jews. They could give a rat’s ass how other Muslim countries behave or the endless Islamic terror attacks in Allah’s name, or the 1400 year long war on the Jews that has been waged by all branches of Islam.
This imbecile Muslima was served Jew hatred at every meal while growing up in Islamic turd-pile Somalia,. She’s really too stupid to know any better and is simply emulating her phony baloney prophet and following his insane, inhuman ideology to the letter. Islam is not a religion, it is a psychotic creed of hate, intolerance and death. Muslims themselves, by their words and deeds, prove this to be the unvarnished truth Every. Single. Day.
na says
Robert, we expect some “corruption” related article. You can cover a lot, which is a good subject with lot of sub topics.
I hope , If I were a journalist!!!!
SamB says
What do you expect from a woman who married her own brother? She has no ethics. Yet she wants a new moral order, specifically towards Islam. With a blinkered mind she cannot see that Islam has the most violent history spanning 1400 years and still continuing. Omar should reflect on her thoughts before she tries to legislate. Somaliland needs a lot money to restructure and re-engineer. As the Muslim the first lesson she ought to send back home is: have order, reorganize, respect other humans, Islam is not the be-all-end -all of humanity. Furthermore, she should reflect on her condition when she landed in Britain- impoverished and in dire need of rescue. She now bites the helping hand that fed her…
Jasmine says
Any muslim who wears the hijab abides by sharia and is a devout muslim, that should immediately disqualify her as a citizen of the US since obeying sharia makes one guilty of moral turpitude and guilty of sedition. The prime directive of islamic sharia is the annihilation of all non muslim governments and non islamic civilizations by means of open violent jihad and stealth or civilizational jihad. See for yourself why adhering to sharia renders one morally unfit to be a US citizen much less a congresswoman lol —–
Sharia law includes:
Polygamy, with up to four wives and an unlimited number of concubines;
Child marriage, as Mohammed (the ‘perfect example’ of mankind) married a 6 year old;
Slavery, as agreed by all four schools of Sunni jurisprudence;
Killing of those who leave Islam, adulterers, blasphemers, critics of Islam and homosexuals;
Women and non-Muslims being second-class citizens and men can legally beat their wives;
Parents going unpunished if they kill their children, making ‘honour killing’ legal;
Punishments such as beheading, whipping, stoning, cutting off hands and throwing off buildings;
The imposition of a humiliating tax on all non-Muslims to support the Islamic ruling class; and
enforcement of Sharia being a right of each Muslim, encouraging vigilante street ‘justice’.
Indiana Tom says
The Democrats will throw the Jews and the LGBT community under the bus to get the Muslim vote. I see the Antifa is now attacking Jews.
WPM says
Antifa are the Brown Shirts of the 21 century they want the destruction of western civilization they like Islam use violence and threats of violence to cow political leaders to appease them. The Christian and Jewish faith are in a large part the foundation of western laws and culture. The red green alliance of Islam and Antifa cannot be ignored .
Jayme says
I did not say building on the West Bank was like murder not even close does it provoke reaction maybe but as other said is there any other choice for Isreal.
gravenimage says
Jayme, Jews living free of Muslim oppression–or just living at all–is enough to provoke negative reactions from Muslims.
terry says
Her seething hate of Jews is in her DNA.
Here “apology” was yet another insult to Jews.
Elizabeth Thorne says
Why did CAIR/ the Muslim Brotherhood, have so many fund raisers for her? The Muslim Brotherhood has stated they are engaged in a “kind of Grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western Civilization from within.” and advancing the Islamic political cause in America.
Minnesota : Hamas linked individuals fundraising Abubaker as-Saddique Mosque attendees joined Al-Shabab in Somalia. Chabdullaahi Faarax, Al-Shabab’s recruiter, sucide bomber Faraah Beledi, was a volunteer and speaker at the Mosque. The Mosque was hosting lectures via satellite from a radical cleric, Shaif Mohamed in Kenya. Minnesota is called the terror recruiting capital.
I see trouble on the rise.
Yes Mr. President, she should resign and be deported.
The revered, Islamic, scholar, Sayyid Qtub said: ” The foremost duty of Islam in this world is to depose Jahiliyyah from the leadership of man, and to take the leadership into its own hands and ENFORCE the particular way of life which is its permanent feature.
“La ilaha illa Allah.”
“Shari’ah law supersedes all laws.”
