“The hypocrisy of the Republicans is blatantly clear, as they are not rushing out to condemn the former president who, knowingly, repeatedly invokes dual loyalty tropes that are harmful and dangerous,” she said.
Noting that antisemitism “is on the rise and all of us have a responsibility to condemn it,” the Minnesota Muslim congresswoman, who has been accused on multiple occasions of antisemitism, called for condemnations of the former president’s remarks.
