Last month, during an interview on a
Fox News program, Houston's Congressman Dan Crenshaw responded to one of
Ilhan Omar's tirades against Israel.

Here is what Dan Crenshaw said:
"There are still a lot of Democrats who do believe in supporting Israel who
do believe that antisemitic comments are wrong. I feel bad for them,
honestly. There is a far left-wing of their party that is in true
disagreement with them. They truly do not like Israel. They truly
believe all the things that [Ilhan] Omar has been saying. She believes it. That
should be really clear by everybody by now...
Every member here has the right to freedom of speech. Just like we have
the right to criticize and condemn it. It is something different when we
are talking about what committee she is on. She has a platform on the
Foreign Affairs Committee to condemn Israel. That tells us that the
Democratic leadership also supports that. Because here's the thing, this
is how we're assigned to committees here in Congress, our leadership
tells us what committees we can be on. So when there is something the
party is against, they will not put you on that committee. We've done
that in our party and I think they should do that in theirs. Unless they
actually believe in what she's saying with regard to Israel."
