"Look in your own damn mirror!"

Acyn @Acyn 1h
Rep. Swalwell: Finally. So I thought, we're going to hold someone accountable for anti-semitism. Surely it's the author of this tweet. Kanye, Elon. Trump… Don’t come here looking at us for anti-semitism. Look at your own damn mirror




and, Schiff:

Throw in their faces, the HYPOCRISY at every turn.

Good for Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff.

They speak with authority and with FACTS.

When Adam Schiff named Paul Gosar, MTG, and Trump, he was not mincing words.

Not just in Congressional chambers, but in the media as well. Make the bastards OWN their own despicable guilty behavior.

That now that Nancy nice-lady has stepped aside, the warriors have been released to fight the battle with teeth. Niceness only goes so far, we're past that point so now it's flame on.

I'm not sure if it has happened, or if McCarthy is proposing her removal?

Since he just screwed over Swalwell and Schiff last week, this isn't too surprising. And yes it IS racism and also sexism.

to do it himself. He put it to a floor vote, knowing that every Republican would vote t reove her.

I believe snakes have spines - but not this one.

She still gets to speak on the floor. BTW, she did apologize and just signed on to the resolution against anti-semitism which is more than the insurrectionist, Nazi-loving, white supremacists among the GOP have done.

I have mixed feelings about Omar on a Foreign Relations committee. I've heard one of her apologies in which she supported Jewish Americans, but haven't heard her support Israel. She is good at deflecting questions about Israel and its right to exist and our efforts to support Israel.

I don't care for Repubs throwing her off any committees, but Dems did toss Jim Jordan off the Jan 6 sub-committee, right?



Edit to add: Today, Omar signed onto a resolution recognizing Israel and its right to exist. Now I would gladly back her return to the Foreign Affairs (or is it Foreign Relations) committee. This was good news. Way to go Ilhan.

For the Congressional Record, Democrats will continue to dismantle Republicans deflection lingo with facts, dates, names and actions that belie what Republicans declare and claim to do.
