Dems rally behind Omar as Trump escalates attacks
By Cristina Marcos and Mike Lillis - 04/15/19 06:08 PM EDT

House Democrats rallied behind Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday as President Trump escalated his attacks suggesting the freshman lawmaker downplayed the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It’s a change from past controversies involving Omar, one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Fellow Democrats who rebuked her in recent weeks for comments viewed as anti-Semitic are now rushing to her defense.

“There have been occasions when she's made comments that she's apologized for that were inartful or that were taken as anti-Semitic. This was certainly not one of them,” Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chairwoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.) said Monday on a call with reporters.

Before Nancy, who has lost all control of Congress and is getting nothing done, decides to defend her leader, Rep. Omar, she should look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements Omar has made. She is out of control, except for her control of Nancy!

They literally can't help themselves. One day after Pelosi says their little posse is unimportant, they go to the mat for one of the members.

They'd rather punch themselves in the face with brass knuckles than not respond to Trump.

I'm looking forward to the big rallies as illegals get shipped to friendly sanctuary cities.  rats will be lined up with paper towels and every kind of aid to spite Trump, as the first buses roll in, and the media will cover it in great detail.

Whatever one may or may not think of Trump, he does have a great talent at making libs wrecklessly unhinged.

Not necessarily a good thing; they are bat crap crazy to begin with.  They will unleash once they get a full majority; and it's not a matter of if it will happen, but when.

If they do that, is it Trump's fault?

Trump stomped on their Cheerios when Hillary LOST and they've never been sane since.

The same Omar who said Trump isn't even human?

This is just a case of not being able to take it after dishing it out. And now, she is playing the victim after saying outrageous things. This could even be fake for all I know though, I have no doubt, saying stuff like she did about 911 would upset a lot of people.
