Student calls out Ilhan Omar for calling some Jewish students 'pro-genocide'

REPORT. THE HEAD OF THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE WENT AFTER CONGRESSMAN OMAR OVER THE COMMENTS. HE ACCUSED HER OF BLOOD LIABLE. A JEWISH STUDENT AT U PENN JOINS US NOW. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF OMAR'S REMARKS THAT SOME JEWISH STUDENTS ARE PRO-GENOCIDE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME ON TODAY TO DISCUSS THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC. FIRST WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT TO NOTE ILHAN OMAR HAD A LONG HISTORY OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND ANTI-AMERICAN AND SHE'S COMPARED ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES TO HAMAS AND THE TALIBAN AND IN HER WHOLE MANTRA ABOUT BEING AN ADVOCATE TO GENOCIDE BACK IN 2019 WHEN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES VOTED TO FORMALLY RECOGNIZE THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, ILHAN OMAR WAS ONE OF THE FEW CONGRESSPEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY VOTED PRESENT TO THIS BIPARTISAN BILL. AND THEN SHE GOES AND TRAVELS TO COLUMBIA ON AMERICAN TAXPAYER MONEY INSTEAD OF VISITING HER CONSTITUENTS WHO HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH INTERVAL STATEMENT WAS HYPERBOLIC IN ITSELF TO BRAND THE MAJORITY OF JEWS IN THE UNITED STATES AS PRO-GENOCIDE IS NOT ONLY DISGUSTING BUT IT'S HARMING TO STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY FACING ENOUGH HATRED AND BIGOTRY ON THESE CAMPUSES. ASHLEY: TALKING OF WHICH, YOU WERE CONFRONTED BY A GROUP OF PRO-HAMAS PROTESTERS WHILE WALKING AROUND ON CAMPUS, DO YOU FEEL SAFE AT SCHOOL RIGHT NOW? >> I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHATSOEVER. I DON'T THINK THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS, JEWISH AND NOT FEEL SAFE WHATSOEVER. AND TO ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO BRAND THESE ENCAMPMENTS AS PEACEFUL, I URGE YOU TO GO TO THESE ENCAMPMENTS, HOLDING AN AMERICAN FLAG AND SEE EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO TO YOU, JUST YESTERDAY THEY WERE CHANTING MAKE US PROUD THIS IS THE ARMED WING OF HAMAS. AT COLUMBIA THEY WERE CHANTING DEATH TO AMERICA IN ITS TRULY APPALLING AND DISGUSTING AND I'M NOT TRULY SURE WHAT THE COLLEGE PRESIDENTS ARE WAITING FOR. OUR FORMER PRESIDENT SAID CALLING FOR THE GENOCIDE OF JEWS DOES NOT VIOLATE THE CODE OF CONDUCT UNTIL ACTION IS TAKEN. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE ACTION HAS ALSO BEEN TAKEN SO THEY KEEP TOWING THE LINE INTO WINDOW LINE UNTIL SOMEONE IS FIERCELY GOING TO GET HURT. WE NEED TO RESTORE ORDER IN ACADEMIA AND ATTENDEE PROFESSORS WHO ARE JOINING THIS PROTEST THEY SHOULD ATTACK A DEMAND THEY SHOULD CAREER CHANGE INTO POLITICS, THEIR JOB IS TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS IT IS NOT TO GO AND START HARASSING THEM WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET TO CLASS. ASHLEY: WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TO GIVE US YOU
