Maybe it’s just due to who I follow and pay attention to, but I’ve seen a lot of people on the right (myself included) call out the bigotry directed at Omar. I’ve seen far fewer (it almost any) people on the left calling out Omar’s bigotry.
The press turns into bold truth-tellers when it comes to Trump, but they are silent or even apologetic for Omar.
That’s really bothersome and makes confronting bigotry a political game. Either you have standards against bigotry or you don’t.

Even purely from a news perspective, how is there almost no coverage or follow up about Omar explicitly endorsing a movement that even the two leading figures in her party (Schumer and Pelosi) have identified as antisemitic?
Omar compared the world’s only Jewish State to Nazi Germany in a Congressional resolution yesterday and hardly anyone blinked. That’s a problem.
