(Fox) Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is fundraising off of backlash she’s received for her latest anti-Israel comments as violence between Israel and Hamas heats up.
Omar’s campaign launched a fundraiser on Facebook Wednesday after criticism from Republican politicians such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who said Omar is acting as a “press secretary for Hamas” because she accused Israel of committing “acts of terrorism.”
“A whole bunch of radical right-wingers — from Ted Cruz to Donald Trump — are angry at Ilhan for bringing to light violence against the Palestinian people during the holy month of Ramadan,” reads a sponsored Facebook ad from her campaign.
