Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), the muslim congresswoman from MI, says politicians support Israel because of all that Jew money they get:
Apparently this is a story, or newsworthy, or something - but I'm struggling to figure out why. Upon first hearing this story I immediately thought two things:Rep. Omar apologizes for tweets on AIPAC's influence
WASHINGTON (AP) — Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar "unequivocally" apologized Monday for tweets suggesting that members of Congress support Israel because they are being paid to do so, which drew bipartisan criticism and a rebuke from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Minnesota Democrat said she had no intention offending anyone, including Jewish Americans.
"We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me about my identity," Omar tweeted. "This is why I unequivocally apologize."
The statement was the latest reckoning among Democrats of intense differences in their ranks over the U.S.-Israeli relationship, highlighted by criticism from Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. They are the first Muslim women to serve in Congress. Pelosi and other Democrats, including leaders and chairmen, laid down a marker making clear that Omar had overstepped.
In a pair of tweets over the weekend, Omar criticized the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. "It's all about the Benjamins baby," she wrote, invoking slang about $100 bills. . . .

1. It's not news that Muslims, in general, aren't fans of Jews. So why are we pretending to be shocked that this muslim lady has non-complimentary things to say about them, repeatedly?
2. Since when has it been racist, anti-semitic, or bigotted to suggest our representatives are bought off by special interests? I don't even see the scandal here, I'll be honest. If she said "Politicians protect gun owners because of all that NRA money" no one woulda said shit. If she said "Politicians protect farm subsidies because of all that big agra money" no one would've blinked. She said "politicians favor Isreal because of all that Jew money" ... and now a crime has been committed? How?
Anyway, all the actual anti-semites have a friend in the ultra-lefty democrat muslim lady. There's a coalition for you. The neo-nazi/muslim coalition, dedicated to blaming Jews for doing what every other lobby in America is doing. lulz
The lady is just saying the same shit you guys say 24/7, 364. So she mentioned someone besdes the NRA and the Koch brothers - so what?
