Ilhan Omar tweet called anti-Semitic 'dog whistle'

[StarfishSaver]

40. As a black woman, I don't need to be lectured to by anyone about prejudice

or when and how I express my opinion about its operation. And I particularly don't need to have anyone try to justify to me the policing of a black woman's comments about two white billionaires who happen to also be Jewish by telling me I shouldn't comment on it because I'm not Jewish. I could just as easily tell you you have no space to speak about a Omar's comments or intent because you're not black. But that would be stupid.

If you choose to read anti-Semitism into her comments, that's your prerogative.

But the fact that the political context of her comments involves three Jewish men from New York, two of whom are billionaires, and she's commenting about one of the billionaires endorsing the other billionaire who may run against the non-billionaire candidate she endorsed, tells me that her comment had nothing to do with the two billionaires being Jewish - any more than it was about them both being men or both being from New York.
Instead, the most logical interpretation is that it's about the common denominator between them that the third man does not share - their wealth.
