What they said:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts
Their comments and tweets have been making headlines since they were elected in November.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez once described the state of America as “garbage.”
She provoked a furor by claiming the U.S. was running “concentration camps” on the southern border.
The White House balked when Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sided with Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro against Elliott Abrams, U.S. special representative for Venezuela.
Tlaib:
In a podcast interview in May, Ms. Tlaib provided her take on the Holocaust.
“There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust.
Shortly after taking office in January, Ms. Omar tweeted that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
The remark was widely deemed an anti-Semitic trope, but Ms. Omar insisted it was a legitimate critique of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza wars.
She later accused Jewish lawmakers of having an “allegiance to a foreign country” for supporting Israel. She also tweeted that U.S. support was “all about the Benjamins baby.” When asked what she meant, she responded “AIPAC!” referring to the prominent pro-Israel lobby.
Critics again called her words an anti-Semitic trope that Jews buy political influence throughout the world.
It spurred a House resolution condemning her rhetoric, though the bill did not name her. House Democrats eventually watered down the resolution to condemn all forms of hatred, including anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim discrimination.
Omar: A month later, Ms. Omar referred to the 9/11 terrorist attacks by saying “some people did something.”
There you have it. Democrats should repudiate these people, and call them out for disliking American and being racists. Why this wasn't national news is a mystery, anything a Republican says something remotely racists it is news. More digging into the past of these women is needed.
