By Howie Katz


Last month, during an interview on a Fox News program, Houston's Congressman Dan Crenshaw responded to one of Ilhan Omar's tirades against Israel.

Here is what Dan Crenshaw said: 

"There are still a lot of Democrats who do believe in supporting Israel who do believe that antisemitic comments are wrong. I feel bad for them, honestly. There is a far left-wing of their party that is in true disagreement with them. They truly do not like Israel. They truly believe all the things that [Ilhan] Omar has been saying. She believes it. That should be really clear by everybody by now...

Every member here has the right to freedom of speech. Just like we have the right to criticize and condemn it. It is something different when we are talking about what committee she is on. She has a platform on the Foreign Affairs Committee to condemn Israel. That tells us that the Democratic leadership also supports that. Because here's the thing, this is how we're assigned to committees here in Congress, our leadership tells us what committees we can be on. So when there is something the party is against, they will not put you on that committee. We've done that in our party and I think they should do that in theirs. Unless they actually believe in what she's saying with regard to Israel."
