MN-05: Not a topic about Israel, thank you very much

That tweet is pretty bad, but its from 2012. She wasn't even a State House member then. Possibly has changed since just as Ellison isn't the same person he was back when he was a Farrakhan follower. Still an example of why I'm not voting for her in the primary.

Trouble is she doubled down on her tweet recently:

Well, there you go. Fairly unambiguous. Time for the national party to step in and say they won't endorse or support her if she makes it through the primary. 

...and people wonder why American society views Muslims with suspicion at best and outright hostility at worst.

When did it become acceptable for dog whistle anti semitism to be a political stance? if this was a jewish candidate tweeting about Palestine, posters here wouldn't be calling it a 'nothingburger'

...or white conservatives talking about ghetto welfare queens disguised with "careful" language.  That's what the Tweet is analogous to.

If Omar wins the primary (and with that, the general), Congress should refuse to seat her.

Why exactly? Serious question. Besides one questionable anti Israel tweet what exactly has she done that would merit that extraordinary step?

It puts her ability to be fair and just in her decision-making in Congress in question.

Wow, over a f#cking tweet?  Good to know Libertarians still care about the Constitution.

Libertarianism has been a thin veil of highmindedness over a lot of ugly subconscious sentiments basically since the party came around in the 1970s.

(of which I'm sure you're aware, but ya know.)

So, you two would have been fine if Roy Moore would have been seated in the Senate had he beaten Doug Jones?

Criticizing Israel is morally equivalent to molesting children

He's also said a lot of racist, sexist, and homophobic things.
