'A white nationalist literally terrorized a synagogue during Passover yesterday and you have yet to say anything,' Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar said to Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar has said her fellow Congressmember, Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz, should be ashamed of himself. Cruz struck out at the Democrat over her past comments on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while remaining silent on Saturday's deadly attack at a synagogue in San Diego.
Retweeting Cruz's criticism, Omar hit out at the Republican for making claims of an"anti-Semitic Left," while remaining silent on Saturday's synagogue attack, which took place during Passover and left one person dead. The alleged shooter behind the attack, identified as John Earnest, 19, opened fire on members of the Chabad of Poway Synagogue with a rifle on Saturday at around 11:30 a.m. PDT.
Investigators are also looking into whether Earnest posted a letter to the 8Chan message board, an online site known for attracting white supremacists, claiming responsibility for setting a fire at the Islamic Center of Escondido on March 24. "We as a nation must confront the terrifying rise of religious hate and violence," she said. "Love trumps hate."
