“Rep. Omar’s use of an anti-Semitic stereotype was offensive and irresponsible,” Schumer tweeted. “This kind of intolerance has no place in Congress—or anywhere in American society.”

“No one should invoke anti-Semitic tropes during policy disagreements,” he added.
Schumer’s statement came soon after the House Democratic leaders, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD), condemned Omar and urged the freshman congresswoman to immediately apologize for suggesting Republicans take bribes in exchange for supporting Israel. “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,” the lawmakers said in a statement. “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.”

Who found the word "trope" on the dusty unused word shelf, and then proclaimed that everybody should use it in every other sentence?

I think it was Webster. Or maybe it was Merriam. If not them then definitely Theo Saurus.

The woman is a Muslim. An apology for what she honestly believes is a waste of time.

What would this apology contain? A statements saying " I apologize for being stupid enough to tell everyone what they already know?"

For surely she isn't apologizing for her hate for Jews, which is real. Whatever she says in an apology does not change her views.
An apology from her is just words. Not a feeling of any wrong doing. She hates Jews that is the fact.
Nothing-----------no apology will change that fact.

By the way Schmuck she hates American Jews too, That means you , you dumb cluck.
