Phillips praises Omar after she doubles down on outrageous comments

June 30, 2021

Known anti-Semite Ilhan Omar went on CNN last night and made it crystal clear that she has no regrets over comments comparing the United States and Israel to terrorist groups Hamas and the Taliban. 

Omar even went so far as to blame her Jewish colleagues for taking issue with the remark, saying they aren’t “partners in justice.”

Now, Omar is once again putting out a weak “clarification” of her anti-Semitic comments and Dean Phillips is praising her for doing it. 

NRCC Comment: “It is deeply disturbing that Ilhan Omar is continuing her pattern of making anti-Semitic and anti-American statements, offering a weak ‘clarification,’ then doubling down. Equally disturbing is that Dean Phillips is praising her for doing so.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
