Hey there, this is Henry Grubar.

What next is on vacation and they asked me to pick a favorite episode for an encore.

I like this one from March about Ilhan Omar and anti-Semitism.

It feels particularly relevant right now in the wake of President Donald Trump convincing

Israel to bar Representative Omar and her colleague, Congresswoman Rashida Thalib of Detroit

from entering Israel.

Here's the show.

Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has become well known for a couple of things, being

the first woman to wear a hijab on the floor of Congress and making off the cuff comments

that question the US relationship with Israel.

The backlash over this tweet, she had tweeted, quote, it's all about the Benjamin's baby

and it was her response.

This weekend at a Washington DC bookstore, she was trying to defend what she said, point

out how labeling her comments as anti-Semitic can be a distraction.

Because we end up defending that and nobody ever gets to have the broader debate of what

is happening with Palestine.

And then she slipped up again.

I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people

to push for allegiance to a foreign country.

She says allegiance to a foreign country.

It's a matter of words, just a couple of seconds of a ten minute speech.

If this event weren't being streamed on Facebook, we might have never heard these
