(NY POST) The spokesman for far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) accused a pro-Israel lobbying group Wednesday of putting the congresswoman’s “life at risk” by going up with an attack ad referencing comments she made in June equating America and Israel with Hamas and the Taliban.
The Facebook ad from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) features a black-and-white image of Omar accompanied by text reading: “For Ilhan Omar, there is no difference between America and the Taliban. Between Israel and Hamas. Between democracies and terrorists.” The ad is captioned: “Stand WITH America. Stand AGAINST Terrorists.”
According to Omar’s communications director, Jeremy Slevin, the language in the AIPAC ad “is virtually identical to the language used in death threats she gets.”
