This is a maddening exchange which will leave you to wonder how this woman was elected to Congress. Not only is she singling out a Jewish man who has served in more than one presidential administration, she barely grasps the English language.

Anti-Semitic Congresswoman Defames Jewish-American Hero
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and U.S. special envoy to Venezuela Elliott Abrams got into a fiery exchange on Wednesday that began with her wondering why anything he said could be considered credible after his role in the Iran-Contra scandal…
Omar opened her questioning by calling Abrams “Mr. Adams” and recounting Abrams’ misdemeanor guilty pleas for withholding information from Congress over the Iran-Contra scandal while he worked in the Reagan administration. He was later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush in 1992.
“I fail to understand why members of this committee or the American people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful,” Omar said.
Abrams sought to respond, but Omar said it wasn’t a question as the two spoke over each other.
“It is not right that members of this committee can attack a witness who is not permitted to reply,” Abrams said.
She went on to recount his 1982 congressional testimony about U.S. policy toward El Salvador, where as Assistant Secretary of State he said reports about the El Mozote massacre perpetrated by the Salvadoran Army weren’t credible. Omar discussed the details of the massacre and quoted Abrams’s remarks that U.S. policy there was a “fabulous achievement.”
