President Donald Trump pushed for congressional leaders to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee this week by citing a letter signed by organizations he described as “Jewish groups” calling for her removal.

But the coalition behind the letter — described by conservative media to be “leading Jewish organizations” — includes groups that maintain no relationship to the American Jewish community and peddle anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.

One of the groups was once found to have ties to a longtime neo-Nazi.

1. Once again, It looks like Democratics appear to take their cues from the Orange Dotard

And soon we will be turfing out yet another Democrat that dares to be different. Dares to actually speak truth to power.


Eliot L. Engel, Democratic Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs

"Representative Omar’s comments leveled that charge by invoking a vile anti-Semitic slur. This episode is especially disappointing following so closely on another instance of Ms. Omar seeming to invoke an anti-Semitic stereotype."

3. There's another fact you won't find in the letter signed off on by the Center for Security Policy

Elliott Abrams, the man that Rep. Ilhan Omar brought some pain to on the House floor not too long ago served on an "advisory council" for the group.
