She didn’t understand? Is she a child? This is a manifestation of the Left’s unconscious paternalism, its assumption that some groups simply cannot be held to the same standards to which others are held. The full retreat of Pelosi and the Democrat leadership, and failure to rebuke Omar, is part of the ongoing normalization and mainstreaming of Omar’s antisemitism.
“Pelosi: Omar Isn’t Anti-Semitic, Didn’t Understand the ‘Full Weight of The Words,’” by David Rutz, Washington Free Beacon, March 7, 2019:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) defended embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) over the latest anti-Semitism controversy, saying Thursday she didn’t think Omar understood the “full weight of the words” she used.
Omar accused Jewish colleagues and constituents last week of deeming her anti-Israel positions as anti-Semitic because she’s a Muslim, and she also invoked the dual loyalty canard when she questioned the “political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
Last month, Pelosi said Omar’s invocation of another anti-Semitic trope about money—Omar tweeted it was “all about the Benjamins” for pro-Israel politicians—was offensive and merited an apology.
She had a different tune on Thursday as she deals with a potential emerging schism in her new House majority.
“I don’t think that the congresswoman perhaps appreciated the full weight of how it was heard by other people, although I don’t believe it was intended in any anti-Semitic way,” Pelosi said. “But the fact is if that’s how it was interpreted, we have to remove all doubt, as we have done over and over again.”
Pelosi mentioned the proposed Democratic resolution that could be voted on Thursday condemning “all hate,” which caused an uproar in her caucus, with some supporters of Omar wondering why it was necessary and feeling she was still being unfairly singled out. Other Democrats like Rep. Ted Deutch (D., Fla.) said Omar needed to understand why her remarks were offensive….
Diane Harvey says
“Pelosi: Omar just doesn’t realize she’s mouthing anti-Semitic slurs”
Yeah, right. A lifelong Muslim – surrounded wherever she lived, Somalia, Minneapolis, by wall-to-wall Muslims uttering Islamic nonsense day and night – doesn’t know her religious cult.
Don McKellar says
Ha! She has NO IDEA what her “holy book” says about Jews. No idea at all.
mortimer says
Born to hate Jews … normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

Don McKellar says
This is a wild death spiral for Pelosi. I don’t think the old crazy bat understands that. Give a moslem an inch and they’ll take not one mile, but a hundred — because you are showing weakness and it’s attack time according to their warlord prophet. Pretty much the same with New Pioneers like AOC ! Nancy, you twit. You’re doomed by your own leftist delusions.
Don McKellar says
AOC and her Young Pioneers working side by side with their Islamic Supremacist comrades, seizing control and marching right over old Nancy to a glorious New Green Deal future for the Democrats. Astounding. Another chance at majority leader and Pelosi has already blown it again not even three months in!
gravenimage says
Yes–this is what is happening.
Victoria says
Nancy shot herself in the foot when she traded their votes for her speakership. The got important committee seats and she got a gavel. AOC, Tlaib and Omar now own Nancy and she will rue the day her lust for power went to her head.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, Nancy is the one who is clueless. She doesn’t even know what she doesn’t know so she thinks she knows it all. Ilhan Omar has BA degrees majoring in political science and international studies. If the woman does not understand the full weight of her words then our educational system has gone to hell. Contemplate the full weight of that.
Richard says
You are absolutely right and make a wonderful point – but our education system has also gone to hell. It is all brainwashing propaganda forced on helpless kids who either accept it or are failed by left-wing “teachers”. Then they graduate and fail in life – unless they get elected to government by other brainwashed kids. AOC got a college degree, which, in turn, got her a job as a bartender. Now she runs Congress and is driving us all to drink.

“although I don’t believe it was intended in any anti-Semitic way,” Pelosi said. “But the fact is if that’s how it was interpreted, we have to remove all doubt, as we have done over and over again.”
It was intended exactly as it was uttered. As a manifestation of Islamic hatred of Jews.
Robert, in one of his many helpful ways, lays out in his various posts the Qur’an verses which under gird the Muslim hatred of the Jew.
Kilfincelt says
The Demonrat Criminal Party has a problem because they are trying to defend the indefensible. Omar is following the Islamic playbook by demonizing Jews while Pelosi remains clueless. Omar and Tlaib need to be impeached and removed from Congress as their belief in Islam and following its dictates means that they can not honor their oath of office.
Barbara says
Totally agree, they should be impeached – Muslim’s cannot be in Parliament – their Quranic beliefs are contrary to Democracy.
Those demonizing Jews are the ones truly guilty of being false citizenship – their ultimate goal is to dominate over all non-muslims who they wrongly call infidel!
Ban the Quran – it is full of Hate speech; Withdraw citizenship of all Muslims; No Muslims to be elected to Parliament as they are not true citizens.
Westman says
With 2020 so close, The GOP couldn’t ask for a greater blessing than The Three Puppeteers speaking for the Democrat Party. The amusement never stops unless you’re a moderate democrat watching the party headed toward anti-semitism and anti-Americanism.
The new democrat election poster?: “Vote for us because we hate you…”
Ole Pederson says
She’s too stupid to know what she says? Then she’s at the wrong place.
But propbably she knows very well and looks out for voters of the future …
mortimer says
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin … but NO SPINNING THIS ONE. Is far too blatant.
American secular Jews will continue to rationalize the anti-Semitism away until they have to leave their neighborhoods and move to Montana. As the Islamic population increase you will see and hear more anti-Semites like Ilhan Omar.
Jews will be the first to suffer at the hands of Muslims, then Christians, then the atheist, godless Leftards.
Kay says
I have read there is an increase in anti-Semitic crimes even in the US. Has anyone researched the cause?
somehistory says
Criminals are stupid. There has never been a “smart” criminal. Criminals can be “crafty,” but never smart.
omar has committed the crime of fraud…by marrying her brother in order for him to get into the country and go to a university. She then committed another crime when she lied to Congress about her immigration fraud .There are likely other crimes not yet exposed.
But, she is also a moslim snake. She is working with the offshoot of the mb…cair…to undermine the rule of law. She has succeeded in saying evil lies about Jews and friends of Israel…and getting away with it. But, she isn’t getting away with this because she’s smart…she’s getting away with it because pelosi and others are stupid. Stupid and greedy for power and money. pelosi is aiding omar by making a giant excuse for her evil speeches.
Criminals are stupid. They get caught by making stupid decisions and mistakes. omar is probably laughing up her sleeve…the one with the finger in the air to her false ‘god.’ The one she, by the “rules” of her cult, is not allowed to raise while keeping the other one by her side.
Evil loses. She is a loser. She will go down with the rest of her evil cult followers of islam.
Walter Sieruk says
If that’s really the true that Omar didn’t really understand “the full weight” of her own words. That would only expose that she must actually be feeble-minded and therefore unintelligent and thus unfit for the political office she now holds.

“Peace in our time.” Wait! Did anyone else hear the faint sound of goose stepping in the distance?

Yes–deeply disturbing. They are going off the rails completely.
Richard Cole says
Pelosi is full of it. She is covering for that Anti-Semitic Omar and that tells me all I need to know about her party. Omar should be kick out of the House. She is an embarrassment to the United States.
mummymovie says
This is not about whether Ilhan is antisemitic or not.
With its language constituting an addendum / earmark addressing “islamophobia”, this resolution is about:
1. silencing critics of islam. Any sane lawmakers who dare to oppose this resolution will thereafter be branded by Dhimmocrats as “far-right bigots” and, yes… “antisemites”, for opposing the “House Resolution Rejecting Antisemitism”. Adding insult to injury, dissenters can then be branded as antisemites by the very antisemites, islamic supremacists, and their Dhimmicrat backers in Congress who have generated the need for such a resolution in the first place!!!
2. This resolution is about getting the ball rolling for criminalizing “islamophobia”. Ilhan is the conduit for the implementation of sharia blasphemy law into U.S. policy and Government, which will be official after this resolution comes up for a vote in a few days. Ilhan is the embedded foreign body which will introduce the plague and disease of islamic law into our government system and into U.S. governmental policy.
This resolution is a BIG, BIG deal.
It is the poison pill that represents everything we are fighting against:
THE ISLAMIZATION OF THE WEST.
Everyone should contact their Representatives and urge them to oppose this resolution, no matter how tall an order.
This is nothing short of islamic conquest in action.
CRUSADER says
Seems very Orwellian as well as a furthering of the Red Left / Green Muslim Brotherhood Axis Agenda.
Not a lot of people are pointing out the pitfalls of such a legislation.
mummymovie says
They are not, unfortunately.
Demsci says
To my thinking Omar opened the door to implying/ suggesting dual loyalty. And now maybe some high politlicians can ask Muslim representatives where their highest loyalties lie; to the Ummah or the country they live in and its constitution and values. When those are in contradiction with Islam.
Kay says
I’m guessing that is the Mohammeden ploy:
Always deflect by accusing someone else. If they object, their objection becomes the Mohammeden defense.
Linda S’s bouncer illustrates it in a small way. The whole “Islamophobia” charge is the same tactic in a big way.
But see now, if anyone questions her loyalty or her funding, she will claim Islamophobia.

Muslims hate Jews; in reaction Infidels are warned not to hate Muslims because of it…

Pelosi had ash marks on her forehead yesterday.
Do you think those ashes were from her burning the Constitution?
Kay says
Oh my goodness! It was Ash Wednesday. So Pelosi worships Jesus.

Yes it is. A really big deal.

Pelosi: Omar isn’t anti-Semitic, she didn’t understand the “full weight of the words” she used
…………………….
Disgusting dhimmitude from someone who should know better. Of course Omar understood.
Many mainstream Democrats are jettisoning whatever decency they had left as the more rabid Leftists turn on them. Here is one alarming example:
“Linda Sarsour enraged over House resolution condemning anti-Semitism, attacks ‘white feminist’ Nancy Pelosi”

Mohammedans always attack. It’s quite unnerving, especially for us who have been taught to get along with everyone as far as possible.
Craig W says
Submission.
Bezelel says
Did pelosi just say that omar is retarded? She definitely did not call her a shining example of somali assimilation to American values. My question is, WTF is the miscreant doing holding public office at any level, especially at the Fed level? Disgraceful fir shur
Kay says
Agreed. Federal government is supposed to be leadership.
Charles says
Of course she can’t condemn Omar. The democratic party receives millions from Muslim Brotherhood lobbies like C.A.I.R. The natural conclusion of identity politics is beginning to play its hand.
Oren Wysocki says
No mention of islamic supremacy or brown supremacy, because according to the racist democrats, globalist corporations and leftists, pretending to champion equality, they don’t exist. Also, when white supremacists talk about Jewish money, there is no qualifier about opposing brown supremacy, but I repeat myself. Peloci was biting her tongue, funny all people can be accused of being corrupted by peoples money, including muslim oil money, so why did pelocy say that claiming that people were under the influence of Jewish money was not A racist mentality? She changed the conversation quick at the end. They will probably try to censor everything. In G-d I trust.

After reading Glazov’s “Jihadist Psychopath”

Trra Nova says
Is Congress getting filled up with people who do not fully understand what is going on? That promises some good outcome and when Mrs Pelosi does not understand it, then she should get out of congress too.
How many people are married to brothers too in Congress? That too is very disturbing, but American people let it go. Good luck!, the Muslim women must feel stronger in the USA then in their own countries, in their own countries, they could not even enter any Government, but now all of a sudden they feel strong, until
muslims men will draw the line when threatened.
If it was not so sickening, I would have a laugh. And around turn th wheels. The Buhne changes every day, the plays and the actors too. What a wonderful World exciting out of egoposessed human beings and money
hunters.
abad says
LOL
Omar did not understand the weight of her words?
LOL
Typical Islamic mindlessness.
But Islam and mindlessness seem to go hand and hand.
When the Quran does all of the thinking for its followers.
Mindfulness simply does not exist in Islam nor among Moslems.
Try again, Pelosi.
LOL

What the hell is “The world will end in 12 years” horse pucky all about–could it be that these feckless, freaky, fruitcakes might actually drive us all mad?
I highly recommend the fruitcakes check the petition that 31,476 scientists signed There is no global warming–just more politics folks.
In 1987 the Environmental Ethics Prof at the University of Windsor, said by 2015 all of Florida would be under water. If you skew graphs should you be allowed to teach an ETHICS class? If you do not understand the word ethics, should you be allowed to run for office? LOL LOL
J D.S says
Omar s a Muslim …elected by Muslims from Minnesotaistan. Do her constituents believe what she believes?
Does she and her constituents believe the written and spoken words of Islam? Is she and them acting / going to act on the written and spoken words of islam?
Apologists big Islam will say that is lam is a peaceful religion and go into rants trying to soften the written and spoken words in Islam but try as they can…it just can’t be done…Too bad most of our elected officials
are cowards and not calling Islam what it is but would call me an islamophobe (Muslim Brotherhood word) for telling it like it is.
I feel do sorry for America and my family for what is coming and am so glad that I won’t be around when the crash comes….THE ONLY HOPE IS THAT JESUS WILL RETURN BEFORE THE CRASH COMES but that CRASH will be even worse than America’s crash….COME JESUS!
Horseman says
My first thought is that Pelosi must think that we are all just plain stupid, or not paying attention. But, then I realized that people like Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer, et al, will lie to your face and they absolutely don’t care that we know that they are lying.
Elizabeth Thorne says
ISIS said they were proud of loyal servant Khalid when she introduced M-103, and all the Liberals and all the NDP voted for this –shut your mouth when it comes to Islam motion. Infiltration is a Brotherhood thing. CYA, Justine was out looking for unicorns that day so he could not vote. Ah ha Horseman perhaps there are more stupid people not paying attention just like the Hitler days or could it be they just want it all go away just like the Hitler days when all the cowards would not stand up and be counted.
