Serious question - why are some folks complaining of the Dem's so called

29. I think the most intelligent way to look at it is if those comments have merit or not.

Dems don't seem to have the same understanding the GOP does. Someone on their side says something and they stand up for them with vigor even if what they had said was stupid.
But this latest flap with Omar was a clear hit job. It was clear from the context. They took a clip and then put their framing on it and put out this whole ugly lie about her.
I saw a Democratic congressman on TV talking about how he felt personally "hurt" by what she said. He fell right into their framing, their trap. He should have looked at the whole thing for himself and he should have seen what she had said. But he didn't. He ignored his own "family" and fell right into the baboons ravings against his own. That is actual spinelessness.
If people start making things up that are divisive, that's one thing, but if they are serious criticisms, they should be welcomed. You can't improve if you are not willing to look at yourself.
I think all the Democratic leadership should have been out there making points about the rise in anti-Muslim sentiment as Omar was saying.
