U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) apologized via conference call to Jewish groups on Tuesday for her anti-Semitic tweets last week that blamed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel lobbying organization, of paying members of Congress to back Israel.
“Let me reiterate my sincere apology for any actual hurt my words have caused,” said Omar, according to someone present on the off-the-record call, reported the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “I know there are a lot of people who in the last weeks have expressed support in trying to say this isn’t anti-Semitic or this shouldn’t be looked at in that way.”
