Subject: CNN uses Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitism controversy to attack Trump, GOP Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:35 pm
CNN has managed to use controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who apologized Monday for anti-Semitic comments, as the latest impetus to attack President Trump and other Republicans -- raising eyebrows among media watchdogs. Omar drew condemnation from members of both parties when she implied Sunday that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), has been paying members of Congress to support Israel. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., even condemned the remarks, while Trump told reporters Omar “should be ashamed of herself.”
