On Tuesday, the bigoted Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper about her recent controversial statements and as expected, she doubled down when giving her response.
Tapper asked the anti-Semite congresswoman if she had any regrets for when she compared the United States and Israel to Hamas terrorists and she said she had no regrets saying what she did, despite having walked back her comments after being criticized by others in her own party.
“Do you regret these comments?” Tapper asked.
“I don’t,” she responded. “I think it’s really important to think back to the point that I was trying to make. Obviously, I was addressing Secretary of State Blinken.”

It is unimaginable that a member of the US House of Representatives would compare the United States and the state of Israel with terrorists who attack innocent people with no regard to their innocence, a group that launches rockets into civilian neighborhoods.
What’s most upsetting is never even talked about. Ilhan Omar remains in the House of Representatives because she has a vast constituency that believes the same bigoted garbage notions that she espouses all the time. She wouldn’t be in office if a lot of Americans weren’t as bigoted as she.
“The cases are put together in front of the [International Criminal Court]. ICC has been investigating, I know that, you know, some of my colleagues don’t lend legitimacy to the ICC, but I tend to think that people around the world who have experience in injustice, need to be able to have a place where they can go,” Omar continued.
“And as a country that helped found the ICC and supported it,” she added, “I think it is really important for us to continue to find ways in which people can find justice around the world.”
A good start would be to eliminate her terrorist friends, I would think.
Omar was also asked about comments she made about Jews that many claimed are anti-Semitic, and she blamed Jewish Democrats for not being aligned to her political agenda. Why would Jews be aligned with the destruction of Israel? That is her political agenda.
“Do you understand why some of your fellow House Democrats especially the Jews find that language anti-Semitic?” asked Tapper after listing examples of Omar’s controversial speech.

“I have welcomed any time, you know, my colleagues have asked to have a conversation, to learn from them, for them to learn from me,” Omar responded.
The only thing they would learn from her is how to twist reality and make it appear that the Israel victims are something the evil in the Middle East and her terrorist friends are the good guys. It’s a maddening belief system but here we are.
“I think it’s really important for these members to realize that they haven’t been partners in justice, they haven’t been, you know, equally engaging in seeking justice around the world. And I think I will continue to do that. It is important for me as someone who knows what it feels like to experience injustice in ways that my colleagues don’t to be a voice in finding accountability,” she added.
The problem for Omar is that she doesn’t seek justice around the world. She seeks the destruction of Israel and she wants protection for those who attempt to carry it out. Just listen to her own words.
Omar’s remarks picked up renewed anger from groups opposing anti-Semitism.
StopAntisemitism.org took to social media to express righteous indignation.
“Shocking – Ilhan Omar refusing to take ANY accountability for her obscene antisemitism.
Instead she has the audacity to blame Jewish members of Congress.
When will this vile bigot finally be censured and properly reprimanded by her party?
Enough is enough!”

I would advise that they don’t hold their breath. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrat leadership have made it very clear that they will not reprimand any of the anti-Semitic bigots among their party members.
