No, she explained why she said that.  She does not believe the usa is the same as terrorist organizations.
The GOP think she is the Democrats version of MTG. >

It's funny because /r/conservative posts this often too with the phrasing "because racism" and then the whole comments sections is "we just don't want her there because she's a muslim extremist spy, not because of racism" as if they think that for reasons for her being those things in their mind is beyond her religion and race. >

This is the problem with many racists. They think they are not racists. They think they are justified in their idiotic beliefs. >

racist often think that racism is when you hang black people, not when you dont like someone just because of where they were born or the skin they have, because to them that stuffs just obviously wrong >

"Large Marge?" What's that in reference to, haven't heard that before >

pee wee's big adventure.   a character named large marge.   it's from the 80s >

I swore that movie was a 90s thing, but i realize that was the pee-wee theatrical release. >

And because she's a woman. And because she's progressive. And because she's a Democrat.
The ideal GOP committee would be entirely comprised of old white Republican men over the age of 50. >

Or women who have had 5 open affairs by age 44 and believe in marrying rapists. >

Is this not a requirement? I am getting mixed messages on that. >

I think this is close to the truth, but not quite. I think they don't want her there because she speaks and proposes policies from the perspective of someone Black and Muslim (and also female and intelligent), that is, as someone with a different perspective than a straight white male. If she was a token Black Muslim conservative who 'shared' their views in public, they'd be fine with her on the committee. Part of Obama's strategy was to run as a 'qualified candidate who happened to be Black' rather than as a 'Black candidate'. Omar is outspoken on these identities that many conservatives want suppressed, so she is always going to be a target. >

Also because she is a refugee. They don't want that perspective to have any influence, even though that perspective is uniquely useful on this committee. >

Yeah, she's uppity. Can't have that. >

And is OBVIOUSLY antisemitic for even MENTIONING that Israel's shit might actually stink. >

Objecting to the policies and actions of Israel’s civil government is not antisemitism. >

Yeah that's the point of the comment you're replying to. >

Don’t forget woman, they hate women >

She scares them, my extremely conservative MAGA ass father loves this woman. Somehow she speaks to people like him and is waking them up lmao. >

Your MAGA father loves Omar? >

The maga father will probably change quick malt magas are just workers who are populist sand are super angry at current economic circumstances etc.
Understandably so and trump being a populist sounded like the solution. However the squad and other progressives speak to these same people. Which is prolly why her dead likes Omar while being a maga dude he will likely no longer be maga soon I hope the man does some more research on the actual ideologies of the 2 bc trump is the complete opposite of being a real pro worker candidate >

I hope so too!!!! >

She left out also because she’s a women. >

Woman* >

Hey, come on!
-
...you're also a woman >

Accurate >

Probably true! >

*accurately states what anyone honest with eyes can see >

I mean...obviously >

Meanwhile, we got Republicans making it on committees BECAUSE they’re terrorists. >

They want her gone because she's progressive. They'd be cumming all over their own faces to keep her on those committees if she was conservative.    
And yes, being female and Muslim and black is why they hate her. >

One of these two things show you have black parents
the other one shows that your iq is capped at about 9
guess which one they have a problem with? >

She is smart, progressive, bold  and a black woman born in Africa. The GOP does not like the example that she has created. >

And female >

If it walks like a racist and talks like a racist…. >

She's a very inspirational speaker, so obviously the Republicans want rid of her, because all they've got are dreary, Hunter's Laptop, Deep State, conspiracy nonsense.. >

Well, yeah. She's not talking to you because you are across the entire country from their constituents. Good representatives like Fetterman or Omar are still active in the community they represent. >

That's not what I meant, but I mean that obviously you aren't going to have strong local involvement from a distant politician. >

I suspect that "competent" is her most threatening characteristic, actually ... >

Or, it’s because she’s a woman, because she’s from MN, or perhaps because she’s a democrat… oh yea… and she’s black and Muslim too. >

I’m not sure I was any observant religious member who’s god requires a costume to be in high government position.    
Especially a misogynistic religion like Islam…. Or Hasidim for that matter. >

Yeah saying they dont want her there because she is black and a muslim is kind of like saying people dont like hitler because he was short, and he also murdered countless millions >


Ilhan Omar says GOP wants her off Foreign Affairs committee because she’s Black and Muslim

The GOP kicked Adam Schiff and Eric Swallwell from committees ... they are neither black nor muslim. >

they were impeachment managers..GOP are still butthurt about Trump being impeached >

Also in news, water is still wet! >

They don't even want her to vote, let alone be a rep or on a committee. >

It's all of the above, but outside of the simple racism of seeing her as a foreigner from a foreign religion, the implications of her ethnic background regarding her attitudes toward Israel are probably the biggest factor. >

Her ethnic background implies far less about her attitudes towards Israel than her on-record comments do. What her ethnic background is being USED to imply is that she is an antisemite, which is just another instance of disingenuous fuckers deliberately conflating antipathy towards Israel with antipathy towards Jews. >


wards Israel than her on-record comments do

Which also imply that she is an antisemite? Or at least way too comfortable with anti-semitic tropes. >

Show the statements if that’s the case. >

Ok then link those statements. The article you link doesn’t provide any of the supposed anti semetic statements it just alludes to them. >

Assuming your reply is in good faith, the first quote from her (since-deleted Twitter) was ‘it’s all about the Benjamins, baby’ tying into a long history of antisemitic tropes about Jews and money.
There was another quote that invoked the ‘dual loyalty’ trope also historically levelled against Jews, I’m sure you’d be able to Google the exact wording if interested. >

These people will never concede. They’ll just keep “sealioning” until you give up. >

Ah, thank you, I couldn’t remember the word.
That’s why I generally give people the benefit of the doubt that they’re actually engaging in good faith, once.  Then disengage when they make clear they aren’t.
Many people more eloquent than me have pointed out why evoking historic antisemitic tropes is antisemitism, and that criticism of Israeli government policy - or AIPAC, for that matter - can be done without those callbacks.
If people actually want to educate themselves and then engage in substantive debate, I’m open. >

Been on here nearly 14 years and haven’t seen anyone’s mind changed yet. 
I refuse to engage (or do my best to) in any discussion regarding Israel or antisemitism. 
Just not worth it to me or my blood pressure. >

No reason to presume it isn’t true. Generally speaking, the American Fascist Party hates blacks and Muslims. >

She's right. >

The party of Jim Jordan and Lindsey Graham doesn't like clowns? Come on man! >

She literally condemns Hamas in the same statement the far right is using to justify her being an anti semite. Maybe turn off the Fox News or Facebook feed and tune in to the real world. >

Didn’t she compare the US or Israel to Hamas lol?
