Anti-Semitic Congresswoman Defames Jewish-American Hero

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and U.S. special envoy to Venezuela Elliott Abrams got into a fiery exchange on Wednesday that began with her wondering why anything he said could be considered credible after his role in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Abrams testified in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the U.S. response to the crisis in Venezuela, which has collapsed under far-left policies that have decimated its economy and caused hyperinflation, starvation and medical shortages. The Trump administration is supporting Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido and said authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro must step down and leave the country.

Omar opened her questioning by calling Abrams "Mr. Adams" and recounting Abrams' misdemeanor guilty pleas for withholding information from Congress over the Iran-Contra scandal while he worked in the Reagan administration. He was later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

"I fail to understand why members of this committee or the American people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful," Omar said.

Abrams sought to respond, but Omar said it wasn't a question as the two spoke over each other.

"It is not right that members of this committee can attack a witness who is not permitted to reply," Abrams said.

She went on to recount his 1982 congressional testimony about U.S. policy toward El Salvador, where as Assistant Secretary of State he said reports about the El Mozote massacre perpetrated by the Salvadoran Army weren't credible. Omar discussed the details of the massacre and quoted Abrams's remarks that U.S. policy there was a "fabulous achievement."

"Yes or no. Do you still think so?" she asked.

"From the day that President [José] Duarte was elected in a free election to this day, El Salvador has been a democracy," Abrams said. "That's a fabulous achievement."

After watching Rep. Omar, I would say that ISIS has a foothold in America.

Abrams answered one of this anti-Semite’s absurd questions with a “No!”.

The weeotch then said, “I’ll take that as a Yes”.

Who us Chair and why is she allowed to be so disgustingly disrespectful??

Kick her off of this committee, at the very least.

She should resign, but we know she won’t.

I think I see why she has a problem with him. Muslims hate democracy.

She’s allowed to be ‘ disgustingly disrespectful’ because she’s in America. If she was in Somalia, where she and her demonic family belong, she’d still be getting the shit beat out of her. The Left and their willing RINO/GOPe supporters have created a monster with their uncontrolled immigration and refugee policies.

Disgusting and totally disrespectful of a diplomat. She is an embarrassment to the Dems, they just don’t realize it yet.

You are exactly right.

However, this will never be covered accurately in the media because she is a woman and a minority, and an immigrant. CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC etc. only report items that advance their agenda.

Yes, she is an embarrassment, but that is irrelevant if she is not covered accurately in the media. Therefore, we are stuck with this anti Semite fifth columnist.

On the point that she is an embarrassment to the Democrats, I must respectfully disagree. Nothing can embarrass the Democrats or a Democrat. What she is, among other things, is an embarrassment to Congress and she is, in my opinion, an embarrassment to the United States of America.

and, my opinion again, she is a symbol of the depth that the politics of America have sank.

Who does this ignorant, low IQ little nothing think she is? I hope she gets her comeuppance real soon. And then gets thrown out of our legislative body, along with her girlfriend Tlaib. Birds of a feather.

The same good folks that voted for Keith Ellison as AG?

MN is toast. They're the Sweden of the U.S.
