Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar said she wasn't aware of "tropes about Jews and money" as she was pressed on old comments about antisemitic tropes on Sunday.

Appearing on CNN's State of the Union, the Minnesota congresswoman—who's been representing the state's 5th district in Congress since 2019—was asked by anchor Dana Bash what she has learned from her "Jewish colleagues and allies" since her comment on Israel in 2019 created a firestorm.

"A lot. I certainly did not or was not aware that the word 'hypnotized' was a trope. I wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been very enlightening part of this journey," Omar said.

Does she have a history of lying or of saying other directly anti-semitic things?

I can give her some benefit of the doubt in that regard.

Of course she knows that. She can't run for office and not know that, surely.

Ilhan Omar Has a Problem With Jews

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.
