Blue State Blues: Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib Silent About China’s Muslims

First-year Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (MI) take pride in being the first Muslim women elected to Congress — as they should.

Whether they are doing a good job is another matter.

They have a lot to say about Israel — some of it antisemitic — as well as Venezuela. They also complain, frequently, about anti-Muslim prejudice in the U.S.

Curiously, neither one of them — including Omar, who has a seat on the the House Foreign Affairs Committee — has had anything to say in Congress about China’s persecution of Muslims.

I read that whole article (breitbart no less) and I didn't see any quotes that were overtly anti Semitic, she just said that Israel lobbies to influence our policy.. what is so absurd about that? How can you acknowledge the existence of lobbyists from top to bottom in our political system, but throw a tantrum at this suggestion?

The bipartisan attacks against her are telling.

How Omar got elected. Well this, and the Soros money.

How many times do you have to be called out for posting flat out lies before you stop posting them? . Man don’t believe every meme or article you see.

I couldn't see the problem. Just like I've said. Criticizing Israel = anti-Semitism. Really disgusting that we are allowing our foreign policy and sovereignty to be influenced by Israel, yet we are going on wild goose chases about Russian influence in our country.

"I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country," Omar said, according to The New York Times.

In a fiery statement Friday night, Engel, a New York Democrat, took Omar to task for yet another controversial comment over the political influence of pro-Israel groups on politicians.

The Democrat from Minnesota earlier this month faced criticism from both sides of the aisle and subsequently apologized for tweets insinuating that the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, was effectively buying off American politicians.

That was a fair criticism. AIPAC wields a disproportionate amount of power in Washington.

It will be interesting to see when these inter-party conflicts of interests arise here in the US between these two groups. Mods move if necessary.

I’m just thinking from the standpoint of where their “religious” interests conflict with the interests of the hard left liberals, that dominate the Dem party, as these communities send more Muslim reps to DC. The fireworks should be entertaining within the DNC. It’s already showing.

Not at all. Don’t trust them any further than I can throw them.

I guess our ideas of "entertaining" are different then.

Many on the right are scared to speak out about these radicals. But the left worship them because they have the same goal

Still wondering what was anti-Semitic about her questioning AIPAC. Change the name to RusoPAC and people on both sides of the aisle would be questioning Russian influence in American foreign policy decisions, not racism towards Russians.

She needs to be removed from the people’s house immediately.

You're not wrong. But when her concern seems to be the influence of pro-Israeli groups and no other foreign interests, it's fair to draw conclusions.

Dude. You realize memes are meant to be funny and not actually true right? F off!
