“The left didn’t condemn Omar’s antisemitic statement. ”
I guess Pelosi, Hoyer, Clyburn, Luján, Jeffries, and Katherine Clark aren’t part of “the left”. It is nice to finally have someone on this site acknowledge that. Here is the statement that they put out about Omar, two years ago next week:
“Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever it is encountered, without exception.
“We are and will always be strong supporters of Israel in Congress because we understand that our support is based on shared values and strategic interests. Legitimate criticism of Israel’s policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate that the United States and Israel share. But Congresswoman Omar’s use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive. We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments.
“As Democrats and as Americans, the entire Congress must be fully engaged in denouncing and rejecting all forms of hatred, racism, prejudice and discrimination wherever they are encountered.”
