Kevin McCarthy: Ilhan Omar’s remarks are not just ‘anti-Semitic,’ they’re ‘anti-American’

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy slammed Ilhan Omar as “anti-Semitic” and “anti-American” on Tuesday and called on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to remove the Minnesota Democrat from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” McCarthy asserted that Omar had a history of making anti-Semitic comments, referencing a recent tweet where she appeared to equate America with the Taliban and Hamas.

“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.”

The Bombs Raining Down on Gaza? They’re American

ANAS BABA

Israel’s devastating assault on Gaza, with its unconscionable numbers of civilian casualties, is proof of a bankrupt U.S. policy that’s been a massive failure on two fronts: military aid, and political impunity.

For decades, abettors-in-chief in the White House and Congress have supplied Israel, a nuclear power, with tens of billions of dollars in superior weaponry, including F-35 stealth aircraft, F-16 fighter jets, Apache attack helicopters, one-ton bombs, and an assortment of grenades, torpedoes, rocket launchers, guided missiles, howitzers, mortars and machine guns.

Much of this now rains down on women and children in Gaza.

Voting machines didn’t steal the election. But they’re a terrible technology.

The unfounded conspiracy theories surrounding voting machines reveal the same dynamic at work. A popular right-wing talking point holds that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by nefarious actors who hacked machines from Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company that supplies many U.S. precincts. The conspiracy theory is rubbish: There’s no evidence that Dominion’s machines were hacked, and certainly no evidence that Dominion itself attempted to subvert the vote count.
