[See NewsBusters for more.] The Democratic Party has been roiled by the latest anti-Semitism charge against Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. As Nancy Pelosi prepares a resolution this week to reject Jew hatred, one which might mention Omar by name, the network newscasts have remained silent. By contrast, Fox News and MSNBC covered it on Monday.  Last week at a town hall event, Omar said of Jewish influence: “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” On Monday, Fox's Harris Faulkner explained, “Some people said it was anti-Semitic from her, again. Omar suggesting that lawmakers who support Israel have dual loyalty.”
