(Daily Caller) Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar said that she cannot stand against Islamophobia without also standing against anti-Semitism in a social media thread Friday.
“In order to confront the evils of religious bigotry and hatred, we must realize that all of our destinies are linked,” Omar said. “I cannot speak out against Islamophobia if I am not also speaking out against the dangerous rise in anti-Semitism.”
“Donald Trump has spent his whole life targeting minorities communities — promoting hate against black, immigrant, Muslim, Latinx, women, people with disabilities and Jewish-Americans,” she added.
The Minnesota politician continued, saying that it is “sickening” when people make “false equivalences” between President Trump and the left when it comes to anti-Semitism.
