Rep. Omar most likely pulls a Jussie Smollet maneuver. The comments give me hope.

The message, written on a blue Post-It Note, reads, “Rep. Omar, Stop your disgusting Jew hatred. Your sign says ‘Justice for all.’ That means Jews too. Your jihab against the Jews will fail. Am Yisrael Chai!” The last phrase refers to a Hebrew chant that means “the nation of Israel lives.”
Tlaib condemned the poison pen letter in her tweet, challenging its author’s accusations of anti-Semitism.
“This is the hateful rhetoric & bullying on my door today,” she wrote. “Stop the fear-mongering and blatant lies.
“[Rep. Omar] and I fight for equality and justice for all,” she continued. “There’s nothing anti-Semitic about that!”
This is the hateful rhetoric & bullying on my door today. Stop the fear mongering & blantant lies. Come here w/ the value that all beings deserve human rights, including Palestinians. @IlhanMN & I fight for equality & justice for all. There's nothing antisemitic about that! pic.twitter.com/kCpLepJk3F

In a 2012 tweet, Omar, a refugee from Somalia, wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,” in response to Israel’s November 2012 operation against Hamas in Gaza.
She’s since defended and explained her tweet, saying in a 2019 interview with CNN, “Those unfortunate words were the only words I could think about expressing at that moment. What is really important to me is that people recognize that there is a difference between criticizing a military action by a government that has exercised really oppressive policies and being offensive or attacking to particular people of faith.”
Omar was elected in November to Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District and became one of the first two Muslim women elected, and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota, according to the Times of Israel.
Hint to Omar and staff if reading here. You need to stop taking money from CAIR.
