That has to sting…
Controversial House Democrat Ilhan Omar (Minn.) was dubbed a “public relations agent for Hamas” by a CNN pundit on Thursday.
During a discussion with the network's Abby Phillip, contributor Scott Jennings didn't hold back on his assessment of the liberal lawmaker.
Phillip began by asking Scott whether he was surprised to hear Omar say she would vote for Biden, adding, “And some of her colleagues, I'm pretty sure, wouldn't say that today.”
“No, she's a Democrat. They're gonna vote for Biden. I'm not surprised about that,” Jennings replied. “I am surprised that, in the year of our Lord, 2024, there is a public relations agent for Hamas sitting in the United States Congress.”
“The reason Israel is not at that meeting is because Hamas will not provide a list of the living hostages. I didn't hear a word – a word of concern for the hostages. Ceasefires – she said – don't happen magically,” Jennings continued. “Well, you know there was a ceasefire in place on October the 6th. And who broke it on October the 7th? I cannot believe honestly what I heard out of that interview. What I want are for those hostages to come home. I want somebody – somebody out there to show just a little bit of remorse that Hamas broke the ceasefire, raped, and murdered horrifically women all kinds of people. That – that's it. How about a little bit of concern for those folks? That's what I'm looking for.”
Far-left “Squad” members were quick to defend Omar.
“Scott Jennings' comments are reminiscent of the anti-Muslim bigotry we saw in the George Bush post-9/11 era. It is disgusting and must not be normalized. CNN should denounce this hateful, dangerous and blatant Islamophobia immediately,” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) complained on X.
