A human rights lawyer claimed during a Wednesday interview with Tucker Carlson that Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar "would be in the KKK" if she weren't a member of Congress.

After a scathing opening monologue in which he repudiated Omar's accusation of racism, Carlson asked Brooke Goldstein, the executive director for The Lawfare Project, to discuss the comments Omar has made about Jews and Israel. The Lawfare Project is "a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about and facilitating a response to the abuse of Western legal systems and human rights law," according to its website.

Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress 🤣🤣



No lies will stamp out my love for this country or my resolve to make our union more perfect.



They will just have to get used to calling me Congresswoman! https://t.co/nRS13yWivK — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) July 10, 2019

"First of all, this is a woman who, by the way, called you a white supremacist. And the irony there is that if she wasn’t a member of Congress, she would be a member of the KKK," Goldstein said. "Yes, she has commented on Israel, but she has built a career on attacking American Jews. She has said that American Jews control Congress. She has insinuated, for example, that Jews have dual loyalty."

"These things have nothing to do with Israel, they are direct attacks on American Jews, a minority community in the United States," she added.

"She hides behind the fact that, number one, she is a Muslim and a woman, as though that insulates her from criticism and anybody who criticizes what she says is automatically Islamophobic or racist. And she also hides behind, 'Well, you know, I’m just criticizing Israel,'" Goldstein continued. "But think about it, if you had a problem, for example, with the Chinese government, would you turn around to local Chinese Americans and discriminate against them?"
