Ilhan Omar Was a Target for Sincere Criticism... Also, Opportunistic Hypocrites

[lapucelle]

5. Which parts should I take up with Charles Pierce? The sourcing is confusing.

I, too, am tired of double standards and am glad both that Ilhan Omar apologized and Netanyahu was criticized.

Pierce is generally a skilled enough writer to avoid crossing the line between pointing out inconsistencies and engaging in whataboutism. Characterizing Orban as Netanyahu's "good friend" is unfortunate overreach on his part.

I'm glad we can agree that antisemitism is wrong and has no place in the House of Representatives. Hopefully in the future people will be more wary of taking Greenwald's twitter bait.
