The Hill reported that US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D) defended fellow democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar over allegations of anti-semitism due to comments that invoked anti-semitic stereotypes. Speaker Pelosi said that while the comments were "insensitive" but that she doesn't believe that Omar harbors ill feelings towards Jewish people.
I don't think that the congresswoman perhaps appreciates the full weight of how it was heard by other people, although I don't believe it was intended in an anti-Semitic way, but the fact is, if that's how it was interpreted, we have to remove all doubt," Speaker Pelosi told reporters.
