Summary
Prominent among Omar defenders are Senators Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, each of whom are 2020 presidential contenders.In attempting to explain away allegations of anti-Semitism, Omar trotted out the age-old antisemitic canard insinuating Jews are more loyal to Israel or to some larger Jewish conspiracy.“I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” Omar stated.Earlier, Omar tweeted another antisemitic trope that American political leaders’ support for the Jewish state is “all about the Benjamins.”Those hateful comments from the freshman Congresswoman resulted in an initiative from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California advocating for a basic resolution condemning antisemitism.
