Re Omar I'll give the Repubs about 6 hours and we should have full-blown talking points about Dems and their harboring rabid anti-semites.
Re Omar2: Fuck her and her false equivalents that she knows are divisive and a hot button and are going to set people off.
Although it probably draws some nice campaign cash from overseas.
This shouldn't impact '22.
Only one group on her list ever nuked a whole city. It’s the same one that invented concentration camps.
The tweet wasn’t specific about time and location, so there may be room for clarification and/or hedging there.
It sounds like she backed away from the repulsive tweet and instead focused on a specific question that she clarified. These were stand alone issues. But this is what she tweeted
We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.
Seems Omar cherry picked. Germany? Poland? Russia? Cambodia? Sudan? Uganda?
As an aside, while the ww2 atomic bombings were horrific and killed around 140,00 Japanese, it ended the war in a week's time. I've never been convinced an invasion of Japan including traditional air raids in multiple cities (Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, etc) would have been more humane, as the death toll would have been many multiples and the infrastructure decimated.
as a further aside, pre-banning I posted about my dad's service aboard a sub-hunter group in WW2. At war's end he and his ship had arrived in Pearl Harbor and had started naval training for the invasion of Japan. A multi-year war was envisioned.
If you want to make the case that would have been more humane, feel free.
