After 19-year-old John Earnest opened fire on the Chabad of Pomway in California, the anti-Semitism that has plagued America came to the forefront.
The View co-host Meghan McCain pushed back against both sides when it comes to anti-Semitism, but she rightfully pointed out Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Semitism.
Omar took a shot at McCain this morning by tweeting, “Oh, bless her heart!” Us in the south know exactly what Southerners mean when they use that phrase.
From Mediaite:
“When we’re having conversations about antisemitism, we should be looking at the most extreme on both sides,” McCain said after a right-wing terrorist shot up the Poway synagogue, killing one and injuring multiple other worshippers. “And I would bring up Congresswoman Omar and some of her comments that got so much attention.”—“In my opinion, Nancy Pelosi wasn’t hard enough in her response to [Omar] trafficking in antisemitic language, talking about ‘it’s all about the Benjamins’ and how Jewish people had hypnotized the world,” McCain added, before also calling out President Donald Trump‘s repeated defenses of the white nationalist Charlottesville rally in 2017 and saying, “We’re talking about it on both sides of the aisle.”
Omar responded after a woman named Sophie Ellman-Golan, who belongs to the Women’s March and boasts how she’s “dismantling white supremacist patriarchy,” bashed McCain for supposedly blaming Omar for the shooting.
It doesn’t sound like McCain specifically blamed Omar for the shooting. She reminded people Omar has tweeted a lot of anti-Semitic language.
Thing is, we should always call out anti-Semitism, Islamaphobia, and all hatred towards all faiths.
I don’t like how she pushed the false narrative that President Donald Trump defended the white nationalists in Charlottesville, VA. We have proven this wrong many times.
McCain called out Speaker Nancy Pelosi because she hasn’t done enough to condemn the anti-Semitism that has seeped out of the Democratic Party. After Omar’s Jewish money tweet, the House voted on a resolution to condemn hate, but refused to name Omar. Then again, Pelosi appeared on a Rolling Stone cover with Omar.
Anyway, in case Omar needs a reminder, we have kept track not only of her anti-Semitic remarks, but bashing of Christianity.
Thing is, McCain received criticism from leftists for bringing up Omar in the interview.
Here is a novel idea. How about not tweeting anti-Semitic garbage?
