(NY Post) New anti-Semitism accusations are swirling around Rep. Ilhan Omar.
A Saturday tweet by the controversial Minnesota congresswoman — referencing possible presidential contender Michael Bloomberg and philanthropist Leon G. Cooperman — has left critics crying “dog-whistle.”
The questionable tweet came in response to a CNBC article revealing that Cooperman would be supporting Bloomberg in his 2020 presidential bid.
“I wonder why,” Omar said, adding a suspicious “hmmm” emoji.
Bloomberg and Cooperman are both billionaires — and both Jewish.
The message came just hours before Omar was to address the Council [on] American-Islamic Relations in Washington, DC, for their annual gala.
