Summary

Democrat Ilhan Omar DENOUNCED Over Anti-Semitic Tweets AGAIN. Omar tweeted "it's all about the benjamins baby" which was seem as an anti-semitic reference to jews being greedy or using money to control politics.While it is important to point out that regardless of being a democrat or republican you can criticize Israel without being an anti semite, it is odd how often the new progressive, far left Democrats use certain tropes to make points.The new far leftist and progressive Rashida Tlaib have been accused of using stereotypes and offensive tropes in the past which leads people to believe that maybe it isn't on accident.

just call them hook-nosed. Now, many people said maybe she just doesn't read these tweets or know

0:19.4

what's going on and perhaps that's fair. You may remember during the Covington incident,

are either only interested in money or are using money to control politics, part of an anti-Semitic

1:20.8

conspiracy, or just an anti-Semitic stereotype. In fact, Magin Noir's of the Quillium Institute

responded by saying, you promise during elections not to support a boycott of Israel.

1:31.6

After you won, you supported a boycott too. You said Israel has hypnotized the world and later
