"Meghan’s late father literally sang ‘bomb bomb bomb Iran’ and insisted on referring to his Vietnamese captors as ‘gooks’. He also, lest we forget, gave the world Sarah Palin," said the tweet Omar retweeted from journalist and commentator Mehdi Hasan.

"So a little less faux outrage over a former refugee-turned-freshman-representative pls," the tweet continued. Hasan is a columnist for The Intercept and a host of Al Jazeera English.

The Hill has reached out to McCain for comment.

Omar made headlines last week when she suggested that politicians who support Israel do so out of allegiance to a foreign country. Her remark was slammed as anti-Semitic.

On Thursday, following outrage over the comment, the House passed a resolution to condemn hatred and bigotry, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. The resolution was originally expected to condemn anti-Semitism alone.

Omar was also accused of being anti-Semitic when she tweeted last month that politicians' support for Israel was "all about the Benjamins."
