They are in no position to talk. Trump has said many anti-Semitic things and never apologized. I am Jewish and I will never forgive him for saying neo-Nazis included very fine people. He has no right to call Omar’s apology insincere. How would he know? At least she apologized.
The rest of the Republican bigots need to keep their mouth shut too. Trump wants Omar to resign but he has supported Steve King. Total hypocrisy!
Soros, globalists, Jewish money — Trump is a practiced trafficker in the same kinds of anti-Semitic stereotypes he demanded that Ilhan Omar resign over. https://t.co/mceaJKeYg7

Hi @realDonaldTrump–
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February 13, 2019
You have trafficked in hate your whole life—against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you? https://t.co/EqqTyjkiNE
Pelosi just reiterated this now, and said: "No" when asked if Omar would be removed from committees as GOP is demanding. "A newcomer member of Congress has apologized for her remarks. It took them what, 13 years to notice Steve King?" https://t.co/LUG0wsKxhu

I really wish this had happened back in 2016 when the president’s supporters were sending death threats to Jewish reporters. https://t.co/9epROftO2C

At an event last year, Pence said of Steve King "I just couldn’t be more proud to have served with him in Congress.”
Did he ever condemn him or tag him in a tweet?https://t.co/d9D5USy00W
"If you denounce Ilhan Omar but support Donald Trump, you don’t really oppose bigotry. You don’t even really oppose anti-Semitism. What you oppose is criticism of Israel," writes @PeterBeinart:

"During 2016, Mr. Trump’s final television commercial featured grainy images of George Soros… who has become a potent symbol for anti-Semites; Janet L. Yellen & Lloyd Blankfein, then [head of] Goldman Sachs, all Jewish, as Trump warned darkly about 'global special interests'" https://t.co/kmNgig9wra

Mr. President, Congresswoman @IlhanMN apologized for using an anti-Semitic trope & demonstrated leadership. When have you ever apologized for your embrace of white nationalism & your exploitation & amplification of anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, racist, xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ hate? https://t.co/MAsdHkZbdg

Donald Trump personally traveled to Iowa to campaign for Steve King in 2014 saying he has “the right views.”https://t.co/Rp3U7xfraK

FWIW, Trump to the Republican Jewish Coalition: "I'm a negotiator, like you folks…..You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money…You don’t want to give me money and that’s OK. You want to control your own politician, that’s fine." https://t.co/6aMeMublUU https://t.co/jE0sxjSm9Y
