For the third day in a row, the cast of MSNBC's Morning Joe used the situation surrounding Representative Illhan Omar's tweets to focus on the real story: Republican hypocrisy.

The context for the segment was an amendment House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy introduced to a resolution ceasing aid to the Saudi coalition in the Yemeni Civil War. McCarthy's amendment passed 424-0, condemned the rise in anti-Semitism and attempts to delegitimize Israel's right to exist.

After giving context, Morning Joe played a clip of McCarthy in an interview with Fox's Harris Faulkner where he responded to criticism of a tweet he posted before the election. McCarthy offered a common sense explanation: it was election season and he was talking about Democrats and their big donors, but Morning Joe wasn't buying it.

Co-host Joe Scarborough bypassed the idea that Republicans might not agree with the politics of George Soros, Tom Steyer, or Michael Bloomberg and falsely claimed that what McCarthy actually said was, "Don't let three Jews buy the election."

Fellow co-host Mika Brzezinski stated that McCarthy must have deleted the tweet because, "he must have finally realized something was wrong with it as Tom Steyer, George Soros, and other prominent Democrats were being target by pipe bombs." McCarthy's spokesman's explanation to The San Francisco Chronicle that he took it down in the sensitivity of the moment was taken by Brzezinski as an acknowledgement that "it was wrong."

MSNBC political correspondent Heidi Przybyla said that the "the parallel here is striking," saying that McCarthy's tweet with specific individual left-wing billionaires and Omar's tweet saying that politicians are paid to support Israel were essentially the same. She then noted that Democrats believe the difference between Omar and some of President Trump's more infamous tweets is that Omar "apologized and apologized immediately."

Local Jewish leaders in Minnesota were "very troubled" after meeting with her after her first anti-Semitic tweets . In addition to taking swipes at fossil fuels and the National Rifle Association in her supposed unequivocal apology, she is now fundraising off the matter. Likewise, Morning Joe failed to mention those details, instead keeping their focus on smearing the GOP.
