Apparently telling the truth that she doesn’t like Israel is “mocking her.”
Via Daily Mail:
Freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar responded to Donald Trump’s comments mocking her in a speech to conservative Jewish lobbying group on Saturday.
Trump was speaking in Las Vegas at the annual meeting of the National Jewish Coalition, a political lobbying group that supports Jewish Republicans.
Trump mockingly thanked Omar, who represents Minnesota, as he began his speech, before adding, ‘Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel, I forgot, I’m sorry. No, she doesn’t like Israel, does she? Please, I apologize.’
He also accused Democrats of allowing anti-Semitism to ‘take root’ in their party.
In a response late on Saturday night, Omar responded in a tweet with one phrase which she also translated into Arabic.

She countered: ‘My Lord, forgive my people for they do not know.’
In February, Omar, who is Muslim, was accused of ‘anti-Semitic tropes’ for suggesting that money influences American’s foreign policy toward Israel.
