"Bingo." 👆
Neither are any of the other leftist "woke" democrats or their supporters. It just proves they don't really care about women's rights. They only care about virtue-signalling.
Surprise surprise:
Critics demand Ilhan Omar condemn Palestinian ban on LGBT activities — and she just responded
Her response:
"Pretending that this act somehow balances or mitigates Israel violating the dignity & rights of Palestinians - or undermines case for defending Palestinian rights - is deplorable!"
^Nobody pretended this, people wanted to see if she'd dare call out Palestine, she failed.
"LGBTQ rights are human rights and we should condemn any effort to infringe upon them.
But we should also condemn any effort to equate this with the occupation or use this as a distraction."
If we should condemn any effort to infringe...WHY hasn't she condemned these efforts?
It's awful the oppression of gays is distracting from her travel woes. I'm so sorry this is happening to her 🙁

"I absolutely and thorough condemn the Palestinian ban on LGBT+ activities. I condemn any ban likes this no matter the nation."
Gee, it's not that hard. Why can't she do it?

Some assumption that this amounts to weaknes to her opponents, perhaps?
Same reason Obama never released long forms, or proof he wasn't born in Kenya, I suppose.
They're making a huge mistake, though, there's are many Democrats who this constant criticism of Israel will chafe against. Obviously, most Jewish Democrats, but non Jewish support for Israel is also pretty strong on the left (If not as loud as the anti-Zionist's)

I think condemning basic human rights violations is an easy thing to do. If that shows weakness, then I'm very happy to be weak AF. Let the world know how weak I am by declaring how much I don't tolerate the condemnation and mistreatment of our LGBT+ people.
No, what it really is is her unwillingness to acknowledge something terrible about Palestine due to her severe interests in being anti-Israel. She has too much riding on the notion that Israel is bad and Palestine is innocent and mistreated.

The situations are different. Obama would have looked weak if he provided the long form. Condemning human rights violations doesn't make you look weak.
Also just take the long form example you gave. Obama did not go "anyone running for president should have to provide a long form birth certificate" and then turn around and not provide it. Omar said the acts should be condemned, but didn't condemn them.
She did say just enough about what happened so that cultists on the left could try to claim she condemned it. I'm already seeing people trying to use her comment as a "gotcha" for those pointing out she has yet to condemn this, lol.

IMO it has never been more clear that she is a bigot. She makes everything about Israel and we all know why.
"Jews who vote Democrat show lack of knowledge or great disloyalty." -Trump via press conference 8/20/2019
Trump's antisemitism finally on full display, was only a matter of time; I told you Trumpers. The "dual-loyalty" trope was a nice touch from Orange Leader, as was blanketing millions of voters as being 'ignorant unless they're loyal to him.
Trump shouldn't have said what he said.

Also let us not pretend like, if you weren't talking about Trump, that this isn't a double standard lol.
Rob is one of those who has bent over backwards to say Ilhan Omar isn't an anti-semite, she has invoked this same dual loyalty shit.
He'll prove he has Trump Derangement Syndrome by coming and excusing Omar. It's always different when a democrat does it.
And to see this guy cry about deflections...the guy legit was deflecting away from the fact the numbers didn't show we had a serious neo nazi problem by going "what about antifa"?. And again: he will make excuses, he will say he didn't actually deflect. And this response will trigger him.

I see nothing wrong with what Trump said and I see it as a fact. It is not even remotely controversial.
It is controversial if you are anti-Trump and looking for confirmation bias.
