Ilhan Omar Has a Problem with Jews It's high time to address Rep. Omar's pattern of offensive commentary. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has a Jewish problem. Despite her repeated denials and the rush to circle the wagons from some left-wing Jews, there's an undeniable pattern. The latest iteration came earlier this week, when Omar was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper about her past statements. "Do you understand why some of your fellow House Democrats, especially Jews, find that language antisemitic?" Tapper asked. "I've welcomed, you know, anytime my colleagues have asked to have a conversation, to learn from them, for them to learn from me," Rep. Omar replied. "I think it's really important for these members to realize that they haven't been partners in justice. They haven't been, you know, equally engaging in seeking justice around the world."
