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?
