WATCH: Ilhan Omar Admits She Has to 'Unlearn' Her Anti-Semitic Ways Beth Baumann Posted: Feb 02, 2019
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has come under fire for anti-Semitic comments in the
past. During an interview with on "The Daily Show," Omar explained how she
never tried to be anti-Semitic but she understands how her comments could be
deemed anti-Semitic. The most interesting aspect: Omar compares her being
blind to her anti-Semitism to white people who don't understand they have
"white privilege."
There are so many things wrong with this interaction.
1) If Omar was truly interested in learning how to change her ways and her
thinking, she would come out and say, "I'm an anti-Semite but I don't want to
be. Can you please help me?" She would be upfront and honest about it. She
wouldn't be so wishy washy about where she stands. And she wouldn't make
an excuse for why she thinks the way she does.
