Leading Democrat Has Jew-Hater Ilhan Omar’s Back; He Also Refused To Denounce Farrakhan

Like The Force in Star Wars, Jew-hatred runs deep within the Democratic party.

There is no longer any denying that the Democrats have a serious anti-Semite problem on their hands that has only recently made headlines over the incendiary remarks of freshman Rep. Ilian Omar, a woman with a long history of hostility toward Israel and Jewish people in general.

Democrats and the larger political left had done a good job keeping a lid on their disgusting bigotry until Omar crossed the line by spreading anti-Semitic tropes about the powerful American Israeli Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and earned a rare rebuke from the party including from Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

But while Omar was forced to issue what came across as one of the most insincere apologies in political history, the media and House Democrats rushed to blame President Trump and to make excuses for the Somali-born Omar who has been promoted as one a future star who illustrates just how diverse that the party is.

One of those who has Omar’s back is leading Democrat James Clyburn who serves as the House Majority Whip as well as being a Big Kahuna on the Congressional Black Caucus and like so many of the other Dems who are trying to shush anyone who dares to point out the truth that they are a collection of misandrists, racists and anti-Semites, took up for Omar during a segment on anti-Trump propaganda network CNN.

Via The Washington Post “No. 3 House Democrat defends Omar as ‘an incredible young lady’ with a bright political future”:

As House Republicans continue to press to punish Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for anti-Semitic comments, the third-ranking Democrat in the chamber came to her defense Thursday, calling her “an incredible young lady” and urging his colleagues to move on.

House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (S.C.) said in a television interview that he had a long talk with Omar and believes she is remorseful for having suggested that Israel’s allies in U.S. politics were motivated by money rather than principle.

“I like her a whole lot,” Clyburn told CNN. “I think she was very sincere in her apology, and I wish we would just go on and stop beating up on people when they make a mistake. All of us have misspoken at one time or another.”

But Congressman Clyburn’s praise of a woman who in only little more than a month has become a national disgrace may have a darker aspect in that like many other CBC Democrats, he has a history of being chummy with the fanatically anti-Semitic Nation Of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan.

The Daily Caller shined a light on this unsavory relationship last year and Clyburn also refused to denounce the king of the Jew-haters.

According to the Daily Caller, “Third-Highest House Democrat Shared Stage With Farrakhan, Now Refuses To Denounce”:

The third-highest ranking House Democrat shared a stage with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, a notorious racist and anti-Semite, and has refused to condemn the hate group leader.

South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn attended a 2011 event with Farrakhan and shared the stage with him, even after Jewish groups voiced their opposition to Clyburn attending the event. Clyburn told the Final Call, a Nation of Islam publication, that he was “not bothered in the least bit” by criticisms of his attendance at the event.

As the assistant Democratic leader, Clyburn is the third-highest ranked Democrat in the House. He declined to condemn Farrakhan in a statement released to The Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday.

“I have fought all my life to advance the cause of social justice and equality, and I have always opposed bigotry in all its forms,” Clyburn said in the statement. His office declined repeated inquiries regarding whether the congressman is willing to condemn Farrakhan, and whether he stood by his decision in 2011 to shrug off criticisms of Farrakhan.

Clyburn is hardly the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus to cozy up to this vile extremist.

The reluctance by Democrats and especially black Dems to denounce Farrakhan who is even deemed as a hatemonger by the notorious far-left Southern Poverty Law Center is telling and given the political left’s open anti-Semitism, it’s probably not much of a coincidence.

This is who they are!
