In reply to the discussion: Jewish Democrats clash with Ilhan Omar after comments on U.S. and Israel [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)16. Two points:
1. They're not "attacking" her, they're commenting on things she said that were offensive to them.
2. The fact that she's a "woman of color" is irrelevant. She made comments that were offensive to several members of Congress and I'm sure many Americans. They could have been said by a white man, a purple cow, a green turkey and they would have been equally offensive.
Why do you zero in on her gender and race instead of what she actually said?
And what is this gratuitous comment about "bipartisanship"? The statement by the Members of Congress are all DEMOCRATIC members!

What she said is definitely true. She didn't say the US was full of murderers...

I don't have issue with what she said. It's consistent enough to upset people all around, though
