Fox News
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked to brush aside recent controversial comments from Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., that drew criticism from fellow Democrats for comparing the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban.
"Members did become concerned when the tweet that was put out equated the United States with Taliban and Hamas … and then she clarified it, and we thanked her for clarification," Pelosi said. "We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban," Omar tweeted Monday. "I asked [Secretary of State Antony Blinken] where people are supposed to go for justice."More Related News
