Ilhan Omar controversy: Cori Bush accuses fellow Democrats of 'anti-Blackness and Islamophobia'
Fox News
Reps. Cori Bush, D-Mo., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., rushed to the defense of fellow Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
"Once again disappointed in my colleagues quicker to condemn @Ilhan than they are to condemn the human rights abuses of the apartheid state of Israel. This statement purposefully distorts her words, stokes anti-Muslim hate toward my sister in service, and is unacceptable," Tlaib wrote on Twitter. Democrats, including Reps. Brad Schneider of Illinois, Brad Sherman of California, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts and Ted Deutch of Florida, asked Omar to "clarify her words" in a recent statement.More Related News
