Ilhan Omar staffer: 'Anti-Semitism is a right-wing force'

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar’s, D-Minn., communications director said this week that anti-Semitism “is a right-wing force,” suggesting that the discrimination faced by the Jewish community is merely a tool used by the Right to bring down his boss.

Jeremy Slevin, who has served as communications director for the Minnesota lawmaker since the beginning of the Congress, tweeted that “Anti-semitism is a right-wing force,” repeating the line eight times in the tweet. His accusation that anti-Semitism is a tool of the Right comes in response to Omar’s tweet, saying: “To confront hate and bigotry in all its forms, we must understand that they are all related.”
