Democrat's Double Standards

Ralph Northam does something racially insensitive in 1982

[c=#BF0000]HE MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY AND HONOR SUICIDE [/c]

Ilhan Omar does something just as bad

[c=#BF0000]Just say you're sorry honey and it'll be OK[/c]

[b][big]Can anyone explain the double standard?[/big][/b]

[quote]Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who has faced accusations of anti-Semitism for perpetuating the stereotype that Jews control politics with money, issued an apology Monday afternoon, a mea culpa amid a firestorm of criticism from both parties.

"Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Omar said on Twitter. “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.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders said in a statement that Omar’s use of “anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel’s supporters is deeply offensive,” but added that her critiques of Israel’s policies and its treatment of Palestinians are protected by free speech.

I'm a Democrat and I don't care for either one of them. I think it would be good for the party (and America) if they BOTH step aside.

I'd like to see Omar challenged in the 2020 primary but she won't be.

As for Virginia, the Lt. Gov and AG should also go.

Now, I'd first make sure the Gov. appoints a new Lt. Gov. first, either a Democrat or an independent, to make sure he GOP doesn't screw with the redistricting process (that's the real reason why he's still there).

But, all three should go.
