For a brief moment, the liberal media seems to be pressing hard on Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her alleged anti-Semitism. The freshman congresswoman went on a Twitter screed that was so vile and nasty that even Chelsea Clinton had to call her out. It wasn’t anything new. It was your typical ‘Jews control the government with their money’ nonsense that’s been peddled by the usual suspects. Omar issued a non-apology apology and then went onto attack the president yesterday morning. She was responding to Trump’s call for her to resign over her antics, which would also have been lobbed at a Republican if he or she made such claims and rightfully so. Omar decided to hit back at the president tweeting, “You have trafficked in hate your whole life—against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you?”

For starters let’s get this out of the way, Omar sucks. She’s a disgrace. And this isn’t the first time she’s had to deal with her alleged problem with anti-Semitism. We’ll have something on that later today. CNN’s Manu Raju found himself at the end of her frustration, refusing to comment on her no good, very bad week thus far:

And yes, Omar’s goons came to her defense:

Twitchy was following the whole affair, though even liberals are starting to say she should be held accountable. Raju’s colleagues also came to his defense, noting that Omar just can’t spew this trash and expect not to be questioned about it. She’ll learn that. Until then, chalk this up as another time she ran away from CNN.
