Fresh off of invoking the anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalty, Rep. Ilhan Omar has done it again!
... wait, what's that? I'm being told that tweet was not from Rep. Omar, but rather from Republican Congressman Jim Jordan.
Look, if you've read my posts on this board, you may know that I hate the constant efforts to play "gotcha" with charges of hypocrisy. I think it's frequently a way to take cheap shots at your political opponents without actually engaging the substance of the issue.
But this is such a clear-cut case, I'm going to make an exception. If you criticized Omar for invoking anti-Semitic tropes, there's simply no way you can give Jordan a pass (and vice versa). They're both disgusting, and they both should be universally condemned.
Jordan tweeted this on a few hours ago on Sunday afternoon, so it's too early to accuse anyone of hypocrisy just yet. But within the next couple days, we'll have the opportunity to see the GOP's response to this vs. how they responded to Omar. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't bet on it happening.
Everyone knows that spelling the name of a wealthy Jew with a $ instead of an S is a go-to move for anti-Semites. It is past time for Pelosi and the Democratic House leadership to take action against her, up to and including her expulsion from Congr--C’mon @RepJerryNadler—at least pretend to be serious about fact finding. Nadler feeling the heat big time. Jumps to Tom $teyer’s conclusion—impeaching our President—before first document request. What a Kangaroo court.
