==Omar's Bigotry and hypocrisy at Dems. In dealing with intolerance==
Columinst, in rebuking Pelosi soft approach to Omar, highlighted bigotry by Omar's and hypocrisy at the Democratic party in dealing with such cases vs the GOP.<ref nane=wp-omar-bigot>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/06/15/pelosis-excuses-vile-bigotry-ilhan-omar-are-disgraceful/ Opinion: Pelosi’s excuses for the vile bigotry of Ilhan Omar are disgraceful], Marc A. Thiessen, Columnist, Washington Post, June 15, 2021
<blockquote>
...Omar is a bigot with a long history of making virulent antisemitic remarks. She has said that when she hears people call Israel a democracy “I almost chuckle,” [https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jan/31/ilhan-omar-i-almost-chuckle-when-people-call-israe/] that “Israel has hypnotized the world” [https://www.timesofisrael.com/rep-ilhan-omar-defends-2012-tweet-accusing-israel-of-hypnotizing-the-world/] and that she prays that Allah will “awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” She shared a cartoon [https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/ihan-omar-rashida-tlaib-share-holocaust-contest-prize-winner-cartoon-599006] on social media that was drawn by the second-place winner of Iran’s Holocaust denial cartoon contest. She supports the antisemitic BDS movement, [https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2019-07-17/ilhan-omar-seizes-spotlight-to-push-pro-bds-resolution] which seeks the economic destruction of Israel, and introduced a resolution [https://www.foxnews.com/politics/omar-introduces-resolution-defending-boycotts-of-israel-likens-it-to-boycott-of-nazi-germany-soviet-union] in Congress comparing a boycott of Israel to boycotting Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. She said that U.S. support for Israel is “all about the Benjamins,” [https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700901834/minnesota-congresswoman-ignites-debate-on-israel-and-anti-semitism] insinuating that Jews buy American influence. And she has said that politicians who support Israel “push for allegiance to a foreign country” [https://www.npr.org/2019/03/04/700163118/democrats-planning-another-public-rebuke-of-rep-ilhan-omar] — accusing Israel supporters in Congress of dual loyalty, a classic antisemitic trope.
After that last comment, when House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.) accused her of “a vile anti-Semitic slur,” [https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-releases?ID=24450152-DE60-4BF9-8602-817A793BAEA2] Omar was unrepentant. “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee,” she replied, [https://twitter.com/ilhanmn/status/1102296763292139520?lang=en] doubling down on her dual-loyalty calumny.
So, her most recent invective was not an isolated comment that needed “clarification.” It was the latest in a long string of antisemitic diatribes that have disgraced the House Democratic caucus. Yet despite this history, not only has Pelosi tolerated Omar’s abhorrent behavior; she also appointed [https://www.timesofisrael.com/bds-backer-ilhan-omar-given-seat-on-powerful-house-foreign-affairs-panel/] Omar to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which helps determine U.S. policy on the Middle East. And this year Pelosi elevated [https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-omar-new-vice-chair-house-foreign-affairs-subcommittee-africa] Omar to serve as vice chair of the subcommittee on Africa. A person who compares America and Israel to the Taliban and Hamas has no business serving on that panel.
..... When Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) wondered publicly in 2019 [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/politics/steve-king-trump-immigration-wall.html] why terms such as “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” had suddenly “become offensive,” Republicans stripped him of his committee assignments. Yet Omar makes repeated antisemitic comments, and Democrats keep her ...</blockquote>
