Ilhan Omar continues making obscene comparisons between Israel/USA and terrorists
The White House on Wednesday distanced President Biden from Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar after she stood by her comments comparing the US and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban.This is a tragedy of colossal proportions that the Democrats - including the Jewish members - continue to allow her to remain in the party. But it does indicate where the party's headed in the future. What's happening is very sad.
'Any attempt to draw an equivalency between the United States and our close ally, Israel, with a terror groups like Hamas or the Taliban, is false and unacceptable,' Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at her briefing on Wednesday.
Psaki did however defend Omar and insisted she did not mean her comments, but said: 'Those are certainly not comments that we’ve made from here.'
Omar has face furious criticism after she appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper and said she didn't regret the comparison she made earlier this month.
GOP Rep. Andy Biggs had tweeted, 'Ilhan Omar is a rabid anti-Semite who has no problem smearing Jews, even in her own party. Shameful and un-American.'
Republican Sen. Tom Cotton asked, 'Why is Ilhan Omar still on the Foreign Affairs Committee?' he asked, sharing the Tapper clip. 'Why is she on any committee?'
