Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is getting support from anti-Semites across the political spectrum Monday, after tweeting about AIPAC’s “influence” on the federal government: she’s been lauded by David Duke from the far right, and is now receiving plaudits from from Linda Sarsour, the leader of the Women’s March.
Sarsour is well-known for her own ties to anti-Semitic leaders, and her own espousal of anti-Semitic ideas. The progressive leader has regularly spoken out against the state of Israel, and, in twin exposes in both Tablet Magazine and The New York Times, was accused of confronting Jewish Women’s March leaders at the movement’s foundational meetings — and eventually helping to strongarm those same Jewish women out of leadership positions.
