From the article:
"If Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., really wants to avoid being branded as an anti-Semite, she will cancel her planned speech later this month for a group, which is considered by foreign governments to be a terrorist-financing organization."
I don't believe she wants to avoid being "branded" as an anti-Semite, because she is.
She wants to publicize it.
I sense many more speeches such as the one above will be in her schedule.
