Ilhan Omar

Although not mentioned by name, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was a ghost in the crowd at American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference in Washington.

The firestorm on Capitol Hill over controversial comments by Rep. Ilhan Omar – that have been widely criticized as anti-Semitic – is spreading to the 2020 campaign trail, with several high-profile Democratic presidential contenders defending the freshman congresswoman from Michigan.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar faced hundreds of protesters Saturday outside a Southern California fundraising event for the local chapter of a major advocacy group representing Muslim-Americans.

U.S. Rep. Max Rose, a Jewish New York Democrat in his first term in Congress, apologized to visibly frustrated constituents at a town hall in Staten Island on Tuesday for not "protecting them" from fellow freshman Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar's repeated use of "anti-Semitic tropes."

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., hit back at President Trump after he promoted a report suggesting Democrats are trying to have the freshman ousted from Congress in the next election.

Jewish voters furious at Democrats’ defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar say they’re done with the party that has held their support for generations.

Republicans across the nation are constantly made to prove that they are not racists. Meanwhile Democrats see bigotry everywhere accept among themselves.

Freshman Democratic representative Ilhan Omar has come under fire in recent weeks following a flurry of online comments widely deemed anti-Semitic by lawmakers, politicians and Americans alike. While some top Democrats have been quick to condemn her slurs and Israel criticism, many have failed to rebuke her slurs – prompting at least one former Israeli security and intelligence chief to question the direction of the Democratic party and its tolerance of the Congressional newcomer from Minnesota’s unchartered turmoil.

Republicans have questioned why their Democratic colleagues have not taken similar steps to those taken against Steve King – who to this day remains ostracized in the GOP – in response to llhan Omar.

A top staffer to Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign apologized Tuesday for invoking “a dual allegiance” of Jewish Americans while defending Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
