Ilhan Omar apologizes

[George II]

28. Your "constituents"? Minnesota has eight members in the House, and about 25,000 Jewish residents...

...less than one-half of one percent - how many constituents is she talking about, like maybe 5,000?

I said elsewhere here, she should visit NYC, specifically Brooklyn, and learn something about the anti-Semitic language that Jewish people have to deal with day after day.

"Listening and learning, but standing strong"? I interpret that as "I had to say it but don't really believe it", which is confirmed by the last paragraph.

Just as disappointing as the original comments for which she's apologizing.

I operate on the premise that I think of what I'm saying before I say it, if it seems offensive I don't say it. That drastically reduces the need to apologize.
