(CNS) In a tweet posted today, Jeremy Slevin, the senior communications director for House Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), said the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is putting Omar’s “life at risk” by posting advertisements that allegedly “smear and vilify” her.
“The language AIPAC uses in paid ads to smear and vilify @IlhanMN is virtually identical to the language used in death threats she gets,” tweeted Slevin. “Make no mistake: AIPAC is putting Rep. Omar’s life at risk with repeated Islamophobic attack ads.”
The tweet included an image of an AIPAC ad that reads, “Stand WITH America. Stand AGAINST Terrorists.” The ad includes a photo of Omar and further reads, “For Ilhan Omar, there is no difference between America and the [Taliban]. Between Israel and Hamas, between democracies and terrorists. Tell Rep. Omar: Condemn Terrorists, Not America.”
