Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota defended one of her colleagues for calling Israel ‘racist’ in a Tuesday tweet. Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington apologized Sunday for calling the Jewish state racist after protesters showed up during a conference over the weekend, calling for Palestinians to be free from Israel. Omar, who has a history of making antisemitic comments, responded to Jayapal’s apology over Twitter, saying that people spend “too much time policing the language of Black and brown women.” (RELATED: ‘Disgraceful’: DeSantis Blasts Biden Admin’s Treatment of Israel)...
