Yet another newly elected Democrat is getting some attention for anti-Semitic tweets as well as comments about Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar has been called a bigot by critics for a tweet she made six years ago in which she said, "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
In spite of that, Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Omar to a seat on the House Foreign Relations Committee.
That move upset House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who said, "Anti-Semitism has no place in Congress.”
On Tuesday Omar, the first Somali-American elected to Congress, posted a tweet about Graham, saying, "They got to him, he is compromised."
Without any evidence, Omar said Graham “is somehow compromised to no longer stand up for the truth."
Even CNN’s S.E. Cupp called Omar’s comments “a very bad look.”
