Trump campaign adviser Jeff Ballabon called Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) "filth" Monday amid controversy over some comments from the lawmaker that have been called anti-Semitic.
"The problem is that her beliefs are deeply rooted in hatred and anti-Semitism. She is a hater. I'm going to say it, she is filth," Ballabon said on Fox Business. "She has no place in the
Congress. She has no place on the Foreign Affairs Committee. It's outrageous that Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, the most powerful Democrat in America, appears on Rolling
Stone, hand in hand with her smiling this week. It's outrageous."
Host Stuart Varney interjected to say that Ballabon used a "very strong word." "Yes. She is a filthy, disgusting hater. So what if she's in Congress? That's the problem. The problem is
they have now taken anti-Semitism in its worst, most base, disgusting force, and they've mainstreamed it," Ballabon said.
"I'm using this as a Jew. I'm using this as someone whose family directly feels threatened, but literally threatened, physically threatened in the culture that's being created now by the
mainstreaming by the Democrats of these kinds of people," Ballabon responded.
Isreal and America both need to be systematically dismantled and rebuilt.
Christ the amount of vile hate thrown this woman's way is horrifying. A adviser to the fucking US president is calling her human filth for daring to criticize a country.
Meanwhile Trump literally wanted to ban all Muslims, constantly attacked them, said they celebrated 9/11 in New York and used repulsive language against Syrian refugees. The double standards is staggering.
I long for the day we actually get a politician that has the balls to call the Israeli government out on their bullshit instead of the usual bending over backwards for tribute that all our politicians seem to be obligated to perform as candidates. I just don't think it'll happen in my lifetime.

this dude is a piece of work
so the republicans have taken a page out of the tory's book and started baselessly calling the dems antisemites?
What gets me is that people will so willingly discuss dogwhistles when it comes to anti-Semitism, accusing people of it left (mostly left) and right based on whether their words vaguely resemble anything anti-Semitic people have ever said... and then proceed to do things like call a Muslim woman 'filth'?
The world needs to do more to combat anti-Semitism. A lot more. I've seen criticism from leftist Jews of some of Omar's words, and she deserves to be held accountable for that - she's a politician, and politicians should be scrutinised.
But mild bigotry does not excuse intense bigotry.
Ballabon has made excuses for Steve Bannon. He also leads the Iron Dome Alliance, which has petitioned the Republican party to reject support for the two-state solution in favour of supporting Israel annexing all Palestinian territory completely. It's pretty clear to see that his concerns aren't about bigotry, they're about a Muslim woman in Congress having a voice.
Trump is a fascist autocrat. His friends, advisers, and staffers, if not fascist in their beliefs, are collaborators in Trump's fascism and therefore fascists themselves. Let's not beat around the bush; some of these people literally want to wage war against their fellow citizens in order to dismantle the state.
his 'little' ban as the supreme court put it stopped 38,000 people from entering this country, seems not so little.
they're not calling her an antisemite because she's a democrat, they're calling her an antisemite because she's muslim and criticized Israel, which in any form is considered """""antisemitism"""" by GOP Americans
Unlike you snowflakes I'm not so easily triggered, unless we're talking about the fact that muslims exists in which I fee physically threatened.
Double Standards doesn't exist for stupid people, they believe they can give people shit but if they do the same it's a big no-no.
Elect me. I'll tell 'em to fuck right off in that exact turn of phrase on international television!
America is the greatest, most decent, moral, and humane country ever.
This from the country that bankrupts its people if they get sick, elected a lifelong criminal and established serial womanizer to the Presidency to own the libs, and is probably still engaging in covert extrajudicial torture in CIA black sites around the world.
I'm sure the Nazis told themselves they were great, too.
broke: muslim representative is filthy and disgusting
woke: american representative doing the same thing is a great person
Ilhan Omar is the bravest woman in Congress right now.
Our politics are so similar it's insane, it was bound to happen eventually. I'm kinda worried for Omar's safety.
DISTGOSTIN!
remember its always someone else's fault, the gop is always perfect christians.
You guys tried and your White House burnt down before it was over.
As awful, concerning, and hate filled as it is, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "graffiti". It just looks like someone took a black sharpie marker and drew it on a class whiteboard.
She's a hero dude. Israel is an Apartheid state, worse than pre 89 South Africa or Rhodesia
Why doesn't he just stop beating around the bush and call her a "GODDAMN SUBHUMAN SANDN@#$!R" like he wants to.
'You know, only Muslims could live like that, under a stupid headscarf in the middle of a wasteland desert thinking they're not in a shithole country because of their stupid book of faith or whatever'.
I think it's funny he's criticizing Pelosi for being on the Rolling Stone cover with Omar because of her comments, neglecting the fact that the shoot for the cover was almost a month before Omar posted her tweets.
