Women’s March leader Tamika Mallory, who has herself been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism, rushed to the defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) late Tuesday, decrying allegations that Omar is virulently anti-Semitic and smearing Omar’s critics as “racist” and abusive.
Omar has been repeatedly caught using anti-Semitic slurs. Most recently, though, Omar tweeted that she believed her Congressional colleagues were under the spell of AIPAC, the “American Israeli Political Action Committee” and that they profited greatly from Jewish money, which led them to represent Jewish interests. Omar was roundly criticised for the tweet, by both Republicans and her Democratic colleagues, who demanded she apologize.
