Fox News ^ | February 12, 2019 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., defended colleague Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., amid criticism over tweets that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic.

On Sunday, Omar suggested on Twitter that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s support for Israel was bought by groups like AIPAC. Her tweets were swiftly condemned on both sides of the aisle, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats.

Appearing on CNN, Rep. Connolly refrained from criticizing Omar and instead invoked Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, for his controversial remarks defending terms like “white nationalism” and “white supremacy.”

Hey Connolly, "Omar is a freshman"?

She is a Muslim 37 year-old anti-Semite that's old enough to know better, and senile San Fran Nan was stupid enough to put her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Stupid rules in the Democrat party.

I was a freshman in high school and college. I don’t remember being a freshman making me an anti-Semite.

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

Why is this flabby-lipped cretin trying to make excuses of any sort for this transplanted terrorist? There are NO possible excuses for her disgusting behavior. Since she has clearly revealed her propensities and actual allegiances, how can other members of Congress feel safe in her midst? How do you know she won’t get a sleeper cell call to wear a suicide vest in the midst of her Congressional colleagues and send them all to hell?

She’s only been a Congresswoman for just over a month, whereas she’s been a Jew -hating anti-Semite her entire life.
