[For Rep. Ilhan Omar, 2 apologies in 3 weeks for ‘anti-Semitic tropes’]Her comments came during a town hall in Washington while speaking about liberal issues. “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” Omar said. Engel’s call for Omar to apologize follows two other incidents from earlier this year. In February, more than 20 House Democrats demanded a second apology from Omar after she suggested (again, on Twitter) that Israel’s allies in Congress were wealthy Jews driven by money. Trump called for Omar to resign from Congress or give up her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
