There is no more perfect expression of the current state of conservative politics and the GOP than those 23 “no” votes.

I am sure Omar agrees with you on this.

Perhaps she should have followed her "at the same time..." non-apology with something along these lines.

nope, no anti-semitism there. Again, I am sure Omar agrees with you.

LOL at the ultra-libs of 2p2 bending over backwards to defend anti-Semitic comments, by saying they are only being labeled anti-Semitic because they come from a Muslim.

We need an ethnicity/religion flowchart to show exactly who outranks who on the "allowed to be racist" scale. It gets confusing!

You can call bull**** on that without defending the comments or even taking a position on them.
