I bet that’s true…

What about Omar and her history of anti-Semitic tropes? Nancy just said please don’t do that again, that was bad. Omar has a history of these things.
Let’s compare a Freshman Representative who has been in office a little over a month, slapped down by her party leadership and unequivocally apologized to a Representative who has been elected multiple times, never really apologized and has only been kind of held to account even counting that milquetoast rebuke after the GOP lost power in the house.
Yeah. Point it out and you can see the difference in the response between the two parties.

Slapped down? 
She was encouraged to apologize. She has a history of being anti-Semitic even before coming to congress. Not like this is a surprise.
Doesn’t relying on whataboutism ever get old? Rarely can two situations be compared. Yet whataboutism is a card played all the time lately.
The west is a cardinal direction. The West and Western culture is what you are grasping at.
They were not socialists, that wing of the nsdap was killed off. The nazi party was heralded as a bulwark against the socialists.
Yes… slapped down.
Party leadership denounced the first statement that can be construed as anti Semitic by Omar after she has taken office… not the tenth, not the twentieth. The first.
The way that party leadership is handling Omar vs how party leadership handles King is not even comparable.

No it never gets old. Instead of just saying “Steve King needs to resign”, they’d rather use whataboutism. Its much easier.
Yes. If Omar continues down this path she should be censured.
The thing is that I did not initially see how her statement could be 100% construed as being anti Semitic… but Pelosi wants to run a much tighter ship than the GOP… so it is her perogative to do so.
Yet the two situations are treated the same by some on here. It’s dishonest to ignore the years of King’s racism and lack of rebuttal by the GOP and then to look at the Dems and compare and deem them the same.
I like that Pelosi is running a tighter ship. She is telling all Democrats in the House “I am the leader. We need to watch what we say, and I will make sure if you are out of line, you will apologize.”
I’d like King to resign. I like that he was stripped of his committee assignments. How is that whataboutism?

Neat whataboutism…instead of actually saying he should be boited from office or censured…you do whataboutism…and then you folks cry foul when people question your ideas on racism…
Then why didn’t you just say that instead of immediately throwing a Democrat out there as a counter-example?
This should have been your first post…
Just interested in the different responses. One has a history of anti-semitism, gets asked to apologize, all is forgiven.
Happens again, apologize, all is forgiven.
Maybe both parties need to really ratchet up pressure for these people to resign, be censured, removed from committees. Enough of the apologize, all is forgiven.
Was King ordered to apologize after his first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc bouts of racism? How about Trump? He started his campaign off with racist comments.
Why are you holding dems to a higher standard then the party you support? Personally, I like that Nancy handled it right away.
