As far as I can tell, she only has one vote, she was duly elected from her district, she is an American citizen, is better educated than most of those who complain about her, and she has the same constitutional protections and can speak her mind if she wants. You are free to disagree.
There are a few sacred cows that can't be openly discussed in congress including criticism of Israel. Someone needs to break down those barriers.
Do you know that just last year, 76 members of Congress wrote a letter to Netanyahu criticizing Israeli policy of expanding settlements in the West Bank and called the policy an impediment to peace.
There were no accusations of anti-Semitism against those members. You know why ? Because they criticized policy, not American Jews and members of Congress who support Israel. In fact, I'm sure many who signed the letter generally do support Israel as a legitimate nation-state, but don't have any qualms over criticizing specific policies.
For the 20th time, Omar didn't deal with policy in her tweets.
The democrats are lousy with antisemitism. And they have embraced it by providing cover for Omar. I believe she is steeped in hatred for Jewish people and would eliminate every single one of them if she could.

Democrats' blind eye? How about Republicans who support Trump taking Omar's comments about 9/11 completely out of context in a lame ass attempt to say she had no respect for what happened there while turning blind eyes to Trump's own reaction to 9/11 which was to boast(falsely) that the collapse of the towers made him the owner of the tallest building in NYC. Thousands die and he has to make it about himself, what a self-aggrandizing, compulsively lying spoiled little brat the man is.

The NY times didnt assert what he said was racist, they simply released what He said and even his own party members called it "troubling"
Even now in Iowa, he has a primary challenger who has raised about 300,000 from instate donors, that doesnt happen to an incumbent with out the establishment wanting him out.
You dont have to dislike Steve King, but dont pretend like its just the left that realizes he has some problems, never mind the fact that the NY article wasnt the first time this had happened to him.

Republicans won't arrest their own for anything.
ThThey love simple power to do or not do.
When democrats get power they actually begin to move mountains to do good in the world.
