Now Congressman James Clyburn, also a democrat, is defending Omar by making it a competition -- who had it worse? Her or Holocaust survivors? Unbelievable how far this party is sinking right now.
"
Congressman James Clyburn, D-S.C., defended freshman Rep.
Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Wednesday by saying her experience was "more personal" than Jews whose parents survived the
Holocaust.
Clyburn argued Omar's experience "is much more empirical -- and powerful -- than that of people who are generations removed from the Holocaust, Japanese internment camps during WWII and the other violent episodes that have marked history," according to a report in The Hill.
“I’m serious about that. There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her,” Clyburn said."
