Meghan McCain said Democrats “looking the other way” from comments made by Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar “only helps [President Donald] Trump’s reelection efforts in 2020.”
“@IlhanMN [Omar] retweeting trash like this is beneath a sitting member of Congress, as is her blatantly anti-Semitic rhetoric. The Democratic Party looking the other way only helps Trump’s re-election efforts in 2020…,” McCain tweeted Friday, along with a screenshot of a tweet Omar shared which attacked “The View” host’s late father Sen. John McCain. (RELATED: Joy Behar: Female Trump Voters Don’t Know The Difference Between A Predator And A Protector)

“I take the hate crimes rising in this country incredibly seriously, and I think what’s happening in Europe is really scary,” McCain shared. “And I’m sorry if I’m getting emotional. The idea that this is politicized — I’m really not — I was very nervous to talk about this on the show because I thought it would become politicized, and it really shouldn’t be. On both sides, it should be called out.”
“Just because I don’t technically have Jewish family that are blood-related to me doesn’t mean that I don’t take this as seriously and it is very dangerous — very dangerous — and I think we all collectively, as Americans on both sides … what Ilhan Omar is saying is very scary to me and a lot of people, and I don’t think you have to be Jewish to recognize that,” she concluded.
