The left doesn’t dare do things that the right gets away with doing all the time

Just compare Ilhan Omar’s “The Benjamin” statement with those of Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spoke at a “conference” of the America First Political Action Conference organized by a holocaust denier who has spoken well of Hitler.

By using the term “The Benjamin,” Omar was referring to the hundred-dollar bill which she claimed motivated Israel’s allies in congress to vote on legislation favoring that nation. After the scandal broke out, not only did Omar state that she wasn’t aware of the alleged anti-Semitic connotations of the term (nor was I), but she apologized for the misunderstanding. Pressure forced the Democratic Party leadership to denounce Omar for making the statement.   

Greene, on the other hand, has no such excuse. How could she, for accepting an invitation from a man who the Anti-Defamation League has called “a prominent white supremacist pundit”?

In another contrast, the Democratic Party leadership was pressured to censure Omar for her comment. On the other hand, the Republicans have remained silent on Greene on her multiple statements which have been characterized as having anti-Semitic overtones. Do as I say, not as I do, may be an appropriate adage for Republicans.

One other example of contrasts between left and right. January 6 participants who were engaged in a military attempt to overthrow the government were given sentences that were not much more than a slap on the wrist, considering the gravity of the crime. How would the same judges be sentencing those involved in a left-wing plot to do the same?
