The move comes after President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2019\/07\/17\/ben-carson-defends-trump-tweet-racism-omar-aoc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accused Omar<\/a> and other progressive congresswomen of being anti-American.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWe are introducing a resolution \u2026 to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our First Amendment rights in regard to boycotting,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cAnd it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have a problem with anyone exercising their First Amendment rights. However, it is interesting to me that a Congresswoman would introduce a bill approving a boycott of one of America&#8217;s strongest allies. Israel is the only truly free country in the Middle East&#8211;it is the only country that allows people to worship whatever god they serve. The Congresswoman has shown herself to be anti-Semitic in previous statements, and this resolution simply reinforces that idea. Last time I checked, antisemitism was a form of racism. It seems that some of the charges this woman is making against the President might apply to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Caller posted an article today about a planned resolution that will be introduced in Congress this week by Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar.
