Liz Cheney Fires Back After Ilhan Omar Accuses Her Of Lying: ‘An Anti-Semitic Socialist’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
GOP Conference chair Liz Cheney had some strong words for Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday after the freshman congresswoman accused Cheney, without evidence, of lying.
“Liz Cheney is accusing a committee investigating Russian election interference of…helping Vladimir Putin,” Omar tweeted. “This is an impressive lie even for the Cheney family.”
Omar’s comments were in response to Wyoming congresswoman’s assertion that Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee were undermining American democracy and thereby helping Russian President Vladimir Putin. The decision by the Judiciary Committee to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress triggered Cheney’s remarks .
“If you look at what we know and what we know from the Mueller report and other places, it’s absolutely clear the Russians have attempted — a number of them were indicted for attempting to influence, to undermine our democratic processes,” Cheney said during a press conference on Wednesday. “The Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are doing exactly what Vladimir Putin would do if he could.”
Cheney stood by her remarks and fired back at Omar.
“No surprise [Omar], an anti-Semitic Socialist who slanders US troops and carries water for Hamas and Maduro, doesn’t recognize the truth when she hears it,” Cheney tweeted.
Omar, and fellow Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan became America’s first Muslim congresswomen when sworn into office in January. Their time in office has been embroiled in allegations of anti-Semitism and anti-American sentiments, and has faced massive backlash from both sides of the aisle.
After the armed conflict tore through Venezuelan capital of Caracas in early-May, Omar claimed American policies were the catalyst for the ‘devastation’ rather than blaming socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro.
She also sided with Hamas after the Palestinian terror organization launched nearly 600 rockets into Israel from across the Gaza border in a 24 hours period earlier in May. Hamas claimed responsibility for multiple Israeli deaths.
Omar has defended her own anti-Israeli statements, such as ones invoking Allah to expose Israel’s “evil doings” as well as promoting age-old anti-Semitic canards such as that Jews’ support of Israel is paid for and that they have a dual loyalty to the U.S. and Israel.
The freshman congresswoman fundraised with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a notable pro-Palestinian organization with ties to Islamic terror groups. The U.S. Department of Justice listed CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in funding millions of dollars to Hamas. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates named CAIR a terrorist organization along with al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in 2014.
While speaking to CAIR, Omar described the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as merely an event where “some people did something.” Cheney called Omar’s description of the attacks that left nearly 3,000 Americans dead “nauseating.”
“It was a horrific terrorist attack at the hands of radical islamic terrorists and Ilhan Omar can try to re-write history, can try to call it something else, but when she does that, she’s showing that she has absolutely no understanding and no recognition of the threats that we face,” Cheney responded at the time.

No kidding! And where were the American citizens in the land of the Mall of America?
To the democrats of Minneapolis - "Couldn't you find anything better that an Anti-American, Anti-Semetic, radical extremist to vote for?
To Barak Obama - "This is what the vetting of refugees has produced?
The President should place a total travel ban/refugee ban on Somalia immediately & indefinitely!
Happy Mothers Day to you and yours...
Happy Mothers Day
Same. May she rest in peace.
I keep hearing the right complaining about socialism... One of the core beliefs about socialism is the governments involvement in private business. Like Carrier? The NFL? Tariffs? If you truly know what a socialist is? You know trump....is one... PERIOD.
The topic is about the despicable pro-Islamic terrorist slut Omar
Should we refer to Trump as the despicable lying man-slut? Or the treasonous pro-racist lying orange cockwomble? Cadet bone spurs? Adolf Twittler? Benedict Donald? So many to choose from.
Come on, this isn't about Omar. This is about going after another Muslim so we aren't talking about Trump's tariffs. Or Trump's lies. Or Trump's treason. Or Trump's racism.
None of those cute things you say about Trump are true.
What treason, what racism? How about some credible evidence of that. What lies are you referring to?
Omar is an outspoken anti-Semite who supports Islamic terrorism, as her comment about 911 proves.
She clearly harbors jihadist sympathies.
Liz Cheney is right about all she said above.
Not really. It's about what a scumbag liar Liz Cheney is and always has been. Omar nailed her perfectly.
Omar is an anti Semite bigot who rationalizes Islamist terrorist attacks on America.
Many on the left apparently sympathize with her antisemitism and support of terrorism.
What value is there to that lousyass comment except for rank hatred?
Thank you for being my moral compass. Whatever you are for, I'm against.
That it was 100% true. Next?

That statement is only tells us its author hates Muslims. But we already knew that.
You will never get lost using that as your guide.
Omar is an Islamist fascist.
They support whatever it is that she supports.
The value is that it is on the topic of the seed. And the comment is 100% right on.
Likewise and right back at you. Heartland America is right.
Recall the Tree Of Life shooting.... Muslims donated more than any other religious or political party... Why would they do that? Lets move on...
How many members of congress are Jewish? I know the answer... Anyone know the answer?
There are 36 Jewish members of Congress but only two are in the gop...
In the '18 Congressional election Democrats earned 82% of Jewish votes.
A lot of things that might concern Jewish voters has happened since, so maybe we should wait to see what happens in 2020 in order to come up with what could be more CURRENTLY applicable percentages and numbers.
Buzz, I think many may have lost sight if this.
So?
The democrat party is in the beginning of a process of forcing American Jews to choose between their support for the party or 🇮🇱 Israel. The day is coming sooner than many think that it will be impossible for them to support both.
The percentage of American Jews voting Democratic is going UP!
It was a whopping 73% in 2016 and yet it went UP to 82% in 2018...
I think the anti-Semitic inclinations of republicans welcoming neo-nazis and white supremacists might put a damper on that.
People who don't agree with Bibi and his war-mongering Likud party are not anti-Semitic, they disagree or don't trust Bibi and the hardliners. I don't trust what he says and Mossad played a part in getting us into our illegal war in Iraq.
I can't wait for the next election results (regardless of who wins) so I can rub that bullshit in your face. Your contempt for (based on complete ignorance of) what motivates the vast majority of American Jews is only exceeded by the insulting way black voters are described by the rightwing.
They did? Where do you check the box on what religion you are when you make donations? I must have missed that.
I'm also not sure why a made up statistic about donations means Ohmer can't be an anti semite. You know Muslims are individuals, right?
How much did Omar and Tlaib contribute?
Omar, Tlaib and even AOC....Bet they got more back than they contributed, in both realms.
For some...."both Realms" means Taxes paid and Contributions !

U. S. CONSTITUTION - Article II, Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Wonder if this would apply to her?
No chance. Pelosi's so afraid of Omar and her pals that she won't even remove her from the Foreign Affairs Committee.
You sure don't know Nancy very well.
It wouldn't be prudent.
"Tell 'em your Muslim" Pelosi IS afraid of disrupting Omar and her gal pals. She would lose her gavel and Democrats would lose votes if she did something like that.
That’s why it falls to patriotic GOP Congress persons like Cheney to confront Omar and her evil words.
Since I'm not her relative, friend, or member of Congress you've made an astute observation.
What tickles my funny bone, is when a vote came up to "Reject" Omars words, but Democrats wanted to make it a vote about "Everyone".
Reminds me of the "Gun" debate Liberals like to rant on. It's not the shooters fault, it's Everyone's fault for owning a gun.
With Liberals, it's NEVER about the "Individual" , it's always about Everyone, even if EVERYONE had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
They're such an "Inclusive" bunch of Stupid asses .
The Democrats are so badly divided and confused that they will never be able to field an electable candidate.
Add to that all the voters disgust about all these pointless investigations in search of ghost crimes, and Trump's reelection is assured.

That is an absolutely accurate statement. Liz Cheney is just lying chip off the old block of Cheney scum that gave us the Iraq War.
And the aid to Putin from the left keeps on coming.

I'm almost tempted to challenge you to come up with a single plausible scrap of evidence for that bullshit but it would just subject us to another lie-filled load of garbage--assuming you'd even try to do it.
As we know now it was Obama and Hillary colluding with the Russians to get dirt on trump and no other Americans collided with Russia in election meddling.
What do you expect? It is Liz Cheney. She and John Bolton want war with Iran.
Oh, and by the way, Islamaphobia is exactly as despicable as antisemitism is...
This German/Irish/Russian/American guy used to live with a beautiful Italian/Swedish/Jewish/Denverite princess who didn't mind that I was an atheist. Even got on well with her strictly religious family.
Which has what do do with the seeded article?
Not really. Islamists actually want to kill us.
All I can say is hit em again harder, harder, to quote a crowd response at the 04 GOP Convention. Hit em again, harder, harder.
I wonder if she has relatives still over there that she is trying to protect from us
