SHE’S NEITHER: Ilhan Omar to Join Black-Jewish Caucus

Rep. Ilhan Omar plans to join a new bipartisan black-Jewish in caucus, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Three black and two Jewish members of the U.S. House launched the caucus on Monday, and will work to bring blacks and Jews together to back legislation against hate crimes and white supremacism. The current members include Reps. Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich., Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., Will Hurd, R-Texas, and John Lewis, D-Ga. A few of the caucus’s members have criticized Omar for her repeated use of anti-Semitic slurs.
