Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) came charging to the defense of fellow Squad member, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after her colleague was condemned on CNN for inflaming sympathy toward Hamas terrorists over recent statements about Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
The New York Democrat screeched on X that the network should begin stifling its conservative analysts after political analyst Scott Jennings took a shot at Omar, according to the Western Journal.“No, she’s a Democrat. They’re gonna vote for Biden,” Jennings said in response to a suggestion that Omar and fellow left-wing Democrats would sit out the 2024 presidential election. “I’m not surprised about that. I am surprised that, in the year of our Lord, 2024, there is a public relations agent for Hamas sitting in the United States Congress.” Israel is not slated to attend an upcoming summit with the terrorist group, Jennings added, because “Hamas will not provide a list of the living hostages.”That prompted a furious rebuke from AOC.
“How on earth is this kind of blatant Islamophobia so casually accepted without pushback?” she posted on X.
