Taken For Granted

John Hinderaker of Power Line writes that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has appointed freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) to the House Foreign Relations Committee. Rep. Omar is a Somali-American, a Muslim, a woman, rabidly anti-Israel and a BDS supporter. She has Tweeted:

Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza  #Palestine  #Israel

Pelosi’s action signals Democrats believe they have a permanent lock on the Jewish vote, as they once believed they “owned” the votes of  blue collar whites. Analysis: Florida loses swing state status.
