Democrats Must Remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs Committee and Cut Off Campaign Funds

[GURPS]

The controversy revolves around a pair of retweets sent by Congresswoman Omar, who represents the Left-leaning 5thCongressional District of Minnesota, which encompasses Minneapolis and several suburbs. In the first instance, she favorably commented on an absurd allegation by radical blogger Glenn Greenwald that GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was attacking the freedom of speech of anti-Israeli (and fellow Muslim) Rep. Rashida Tlaib, R-Mich. Rep. Omar remarked about Israel’s supporters, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” (Note: A Benjamin is slang for a $100 bill). In the second instance, she contemptuously responded to a tweet by Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor of the Jewish newspaper, The Forward, who had expressed dismay over Rep. Tlaib’s hostility toward Israel. “AIPAC!,” retorted Omar. That would be the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

That is just blatant discrimination. Congress should pass a law about that.

In her defense, "To know who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." ~Voltaire

And another thing, in her use of, “It’s all about the Benjamins baby”, she was referring to money in general. The writer, Carl Horowitz, is a putz. His article boils down to, "We can't have anyone criticize us." "We demand complete loyalty, of all United State Senators and Representatives, as well as all State government elected officials, to Israel first, the USA second or third, we don't care what position, but we will be first damn it."
