The spat comes days after a man was arrested for threatening to kill Omar.
Rep. Ilhan Omar stands with fellow Democrats as they rally outside the Capitol on March 8. By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow April 9 at 7:02 AM A familiar story line played out Monday night for Rep. Ilhan Omar , who condemned one of President Trump’s most trusted advisers only to end up being accused of anti-Semitism.
Claims of anti-Semitism have vexed Omar since she took office this year, after she suggested that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee , an influential Jewish lobbying group, wielded power over members of Congress through money. But to Omar’s backers, the ubiquitous attacks from the right since then have amounted to a politically expedient smear campaign that trivializes the meaning of true anti-Semitism.
Matt Wolking, deputy communications director for the president’s reelection campaign, offered this straightforward take: “He’s Jewish, and Ilhan Omar is a racist anti-Semite,” Wolking wrote. — Brian Beutler April 9, 2019 “Rep. Zeldin is using his Jewishness to provide cover for a white nationalist regime that stokes hatred and terror for Jews in a US that until President Trump felt so safe and secure for us,” wrote economist David Rothschild.
