House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer disagreed with Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in regards to his defense of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar during an appearance Thursday on MSNBC.
Omar has been accused of espousing anti-Semitic views while trying to criticize Israel. In particular, she questioned if some members of Congress have a “dual loyalty” to the U. S. and Israel. (RELATED: Omar’s Experiences Are ‘More Personal’ Than Children Of Holocaust Survivors)
“We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing, Netanyahu government in Israel,” reads Sanders’ statement on the issue in part.
