On Sunday’s CNN “State of the Union” Nancy Pelosi claims she did not “rebuke” radical socialist “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after the second-term congresswoman yet again made anti-Semitic comments and shared a video labeled an anti-Jewish terrorist organization.
The New York Post reports:
Pelosi downplayed a split between Democratic leadership and the progressive “Squad” over the remarks which some interpreted as equating the US with Hamas and the Taliban.
“We did not rebuke her,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Pelosi and 11 other House Democrats had penned a letter to Omar asking for clarification – and they “thanked her” after she issued a clarification, the speaker told Bash.
“The congresswoman, Omar, is a valued member of our caucus,” Pelosi said.
High-profile progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had stood by Omar and called out House leadership in tweets, with AOC lamenting “intentional mischaracterization” and “public targeting” of Omar from within the caucus.
Bash asked Pelosi specifically about AOC’s comments and a tweet by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) seemingly critical of their leadership’s letter.
Bash followed up, asking “So do you want people to let it go on and just move on?”
“They can say whatever they want,” Pelosi replied. “But what I’m saying, end of subject.” She clarified, “we thanked her, end of subject.”
Did we really expect anything to happen to her? What a joke, no accountability, they all get a participation trophy and sing kumbaya around the Capitol campfire. Makes me nauseated to read this tripe!
I wish AAN and their reporters would stop using the word “PROGRESSIVE” for those on the far far far left. There is nothing progressive about these people. They are the most regressive, taking us back to a time of segregation and racism, group around right now. They are THE FAR LEFT NOT THE PROGREESIVE
If Pelosi refuses to do anything, so much the better. It increases the odds of the democrats slitting their own throats heading into next years midterms.
Nasty pu—y is scared of the squad
Omar is Muslim. Pelosi is CATHOLIC. Muslim and CATHOLIC are the same.
Omar is Muslim. Pelosi is CATHOLIC. Muslim and CATHOLIC are the same. R and D mean nothing. It is a thing done by CATHOLIC TRAITORS. Look south for proof…. Invade, dominate, conquer, then eliminate. (Be CATHOLIC “C” or be dead). The ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS are ALL here illegally! Pelosi, ( CATHOLIC “C” traitor) recently said that there are more than 60 million ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS in the USA. Head ’em up. Send ’em ‘home’. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” and the wall will never happen. Vote for ANY CATHOLIC “C” and the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC “C” INVADERS will never go ‘home’.
Keep the Dem division going
