Some Minnesota Democrats Seek to Remove Ilhan Omar from Congress

Minnesota Democrats who are angry and offended at Rep. Ilhan Omar for her string of anti-Semitic comments are looking for someone to run in her place in the next nomination after the congresswoman has sparked contentious debates both across the country and within her own party. 

The Hill reports Democratic state Sen. Ron Latz said, “There’s definitely talk about people wanting someone to run against her.”

Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism after comments about Israel, suggesting at one point that it had “hypnotized the world.”

She divided the Democratic Party last week over a resolution that was first meant to condemn anti-Semitism but became a general reprimand against virtually all forms of hate.
