Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) had time Wednesday morning when she clapped back at President Trumpβs call for her to resign, noting that the president has trafficked in hate his whole life.
In a tweet, the presidentβs preferred mode of communication because heβs basically a 13-year-old 7th grader, Omar tweeted:

You know that Omarβs initial tweet ended with βWhen will you, bitch?β Fine, she didnβt say βbitch,β but I feel like there is an implied bitch at the end of the statement. OK, fine, maybe I just want it say bitch.
The Hill notes that Omarβs tweet comes after the president called for her resignation, or at the very least her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee βover her tweet questioning the influence of the Israel lobby, namely the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), in Washington D.C.β
Omar apologized for the tweet noting, βAnti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,β Omar wrote. βMy intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.β
Trump told reporters Tuesday that Omarβs apology was βlameβ and reiteratedΒ his demand for her resignation.
βAnti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress,β Trump said at a Cabinet meeting. βAnd I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.β
Trump failed to mention that heβs a racist-filed whoopee-cushion who lives off a diet of baby goatβs blood and fast food, who would be fine if we went back to Jim Crow laws and only has one black friend: Ben Carson.
