Episode 85: The Anti-Semitism of Ilhan Omar

July 20, 2019

On this episode of the Caffeinated Thoughts Podcast, Shane Vander Hart discusses the anti-semitism of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat who represents Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. Omar came to the United States from Somalia when she was eight and is the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress.
Omar, a Muslim, has gotten in hot water for anti-semitic remarks and just co-sponsored a pro-BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction Israel) resolution which she defended this week during the House Foreign Relations Committee.
