<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ilhan-omar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)</a>, a member of the leftist &#8220;Squad,&#8221; is again facing the prospect of being censured, this time for suggesting that some Jewish students support genocide.</p>
<p>During a visit last week to Columbia University, Omar <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGcl3KREFF0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke with a Fox 5 New York reporter</a> about anti-Semitism as she walked on campus with her daughter, Isra Hirsi, a Barnard student who was recently arrested while participating in an anti-Israel protest on campus.</p>
<p>Omar noted that she had just met some Jewish students in an encampment.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it is really unfortunate,&#8221; Omar continued, &#8220;that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe, and that we should not have to tolerate anti-Semitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they’re pro-genocide or anti-genocide.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Congresswoman Ilhan Omar joins Columbia protests" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EGcl3KREFF0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>One of her Republican colleagues, Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), reportedly took umbrage at the comment about Jewish students and said that he was putting together a censure resolution in response.</p>
<p>&#8220;Talking about pro-genocide Jewish students is wrong,&#8221; Bacon <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/30/ilhan-omar-censure-columbia-israel-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Axios</a>,&#8221; adding that &#8220;folks can protest Israel, but don&#8217;t blame Jewish-American students for Israel. That is by definition anti-Semitism.&#8221;</p>
<p>A spokesperson for Omar said the congresswoman &#8220;clearly condemned antisemitism and bigotry for all Jewish students,&#8221; adding, &#8220;Attempts to misconstrue her words by drafting this baseless resolution are meant to distract&#8221; from the Gaza conflict and anti-war protests.</p>
<p>It would not be the first time Omar faced the ire of her colleagues. In February, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she would<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mtg-aims-to-force-vote-on-censuring-ilhan-omar-for-remarks-on-somalia" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> force</a> a censure vote against Omar for remarks concerning her native Somalia, but did not follow through.</p>

<p>And Omar was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-boot-ilhan-omar-off-foreign-affairs-committee-over-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked off</a> the Foreign Affairs Committee last year over comments she <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/02/us/politics/ilhan-omar-house-committee-republicans.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made about Israel</a>.</p>
<p>Throughout history, <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Discipline/Expulsion-Censure-Reprimand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27 members</a> have been successfully censured, which is a formal rebuke and a less severe form of punishment than expulsion, though there has been an uptick of late.</p>
<p>Reps. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-censure-adam-schiff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Schiff (D-CA)</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI), and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-censure-bowman-over-fire-alarm-incident?%3Futm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) were among the House members who were censured last year.</p>
<p>In a post to X last week, Omar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-tries-to-defend-columbia-protesters-and-her-daughter-and-it-backfires-immediately" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought</a> to defend the protesters at Columbia, who have demanded the university <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-will-not-divest-from-israel-president-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divest</a> from Israel, and chided public officials and media &#8220;making this about anything else are inflaming the situation and need to bring calmness and sanity back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) was among those who fired back, <a href="https://twitter.com/ANTHONYDESPO/status/1782522309170925942" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, &#8220;Ilhan, there’s video. Lots of it. These antisemites don’t need police &amp; public leaders to make them look bad. They’re doing that all by themselves. Only demands should be: Hamas, surrender; Release the hostages.&#8221;</p>
