Dem infighting intensifies as Biden meets Brits at swanky UK retreat

President Biden kicked off a series of get-togethers with world leaders Thursday while Democratic infighting intensifies back home.

Tensions between moderate and Jewish Democrats and "Squad" members like Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., exploded into the open this week over recent comments she made apparently comparing the United States and Israel to Hamas.  A group of moderate Democrats lambasted Omar for her statement in a joint press release, prompting Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other "Squad" members to fire back, accusing those Democrats of "islamophobic tropes," putting Omar in "danger," and more.  The conflict began brewing Monday when Omar tweeted about "unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban," after making similar comments in a committee hearing. It reached its peak Wednesday and Thursday when the group of moderates, including Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.; Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass.; Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., and eight others lit into Omar in a scathing statement.
