Ex-White House adviser says anti-bigotry resolution should have focused on Omar's comments.
Karl Rove has taken a swipe at Rep. Ilhan Omar by comparing her alleged “repeated anti-Semitic blasts” with the actions of white nationalists.
In a followup tweet in reply to a person asking where she thought the politicians were getting the money, Omar said,"AIPAC!"—a reference to the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee lobby. Omar was again criticized for invoking anti-Semitic tropes, but the congresswoman has defended her remarks as a part of healthy political debate. A number of prominent Jewish activists and even 2020 Democractic presidential election candidates have defended her remarks.
“It didn’t use her name, but did depict her anti-Semitic insults as morally equivalent to the hateful speech of white nationalists in Charlottesville, the bigoted anger of the white supremacist who killed nine African American worshipers in a South Carolina church, and the 'discriminatory incarceration of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II.'”

They will rue the day they did this,” he said.
