Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) responded to Meghan McCain’s tearful expression of fear about Omar’s anti-semitism on Thursday’s broadcast of The View on ABC.
Omar retweeted a nasty attack on McCain’s late father Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) who died in office last year from brain cancer.
McCain said on The View about Omar’s anti-semitism, “What Omar is saying is very scary to me and is very scary to a lot of people. And I don’t think you have to be Jewish to recognize that.”
McCain has not responded as of publication, but she has made it known she is aware of Omar’s RT by retweeting several conservative reporters who have captured Omar’s cowardly attack on her including the one by Joel Pollak shown below.
Omar did not say anything directly to Meghan McCain. Bully that she is, Omar attacked McCain by retweeting someone else’s words, those of Mehdi Hasan, targeting her over her late father, “Meghan’s late father literally sang ‘bomb bomb bomb Iran’ and insisted on referring to his Vietnamese captors as ‘gooks’. He also, lest we forget, gave the world Sarah Palin. So a little less faux outrage over a former refugee-turned-freshman-representative pls.”
