A Muslim-American congresswoman who fell on her sword last week after drawing fire for anti-Semitic tweets lashed out at President Donald Trump on Wednesday for saying she should resign her seat instead of offering a 'lame' apology.

'You have trafficked in hate your whole life—against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you?' Rep. Ilhan Omar wrote on Twitter.

Fellow freshman Democratic lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came to Ilhan's defense after Trump dismissed her publicly and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted her anti-Israel commentary.

The entire House Democratic leadership and prominent Jewish lawmakers had come down on Omar for saying Republicans defend Israel because of financial support from wealthy American Jews.

After Omar offered what she said was an 'unequivocal' apology – one that included a qualifying statement about lobby groups – Ocasio-Cortez turned her ire at the White House.

'Unlike this President, Rep. @IlhanMN demonstrated a capacity to acknowledge pain & apologize, use the opportunity to learn abt [about] history of antisemitism,+grow from it while clarifying her stance,' the Democratic socialist phenom wrote.

'I'm also inspired by Jewish leadership who brought her in, not push her out, to heal.'

She was responding to the Jewish Forward magazine, which quoted liberal advocate Peter Beinart saying: 'If you denounce Ilhan Omar but support Donald Trump, you don't really oppose bigotry. You don't even really oppose anti-Semitism. What you oppose is criticism of Israel.'

Trump on Tuesday demanded Omar, a first-term lawmaker, resign over her Twitter comments that many of her own colleagues called anti-Semitic.

Omar is aligned with Rashida Tlaib, her fellow Muslim, who called for impeaching Trump last month

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defended fellow first-term lawmaker Rep. Ilhan Omar after President Trump called for Omar to resign.

Ocasio tried to turn the tables on Trump, writing that 'unlike this President,' Omar has 'demonstrated a capacity to acknowledge pain & apologize'

'I think she should either resign from congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee,' Trump said during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday.

Omar's anti-Semitism, Trump said, was 'deep-seated in her heart.' He also called her apology, issued Monday, 'lame.'

'Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress. And Congressman Omar is terrible, what she said,' Trump began.

'What she said is so deep-seated in her heart that her lame apology – and that's what it was; it was lame, and she didn’t mean a word of it – was just not appropriate. I think she should resign from Congress, frankly. But at a minimum, she shouldn’t be on committees, and certainly that committee.'

One of the tweets that drew criticism was a one-word posting that read: 'AIPAC!'

That reference to the powerful American Israel Public affairs Committee came after Omar claimed support for Israel was 'all about the Benjamins' – suggesting Republicans trade their foreign policy votes for cash.

Trump's determination to tee off on the issue was revealed in his hand-written notes, captured by photojournalists.

They read, in all capital letters: 'Congresswoman Omar should be asked to resign or at least get off the Foreign Affairs Committee.'

People leave post-it notes of support outside the office of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Capitol Hill, Monday, Feb. 11, 2019, in Washington. Omar has 'unequivocally' apologized for tweets suggesting a powerful pro-Israel interest group paid members of Congress to support Israel.

Trump also weighed in on the controversy swirling around Rep. Ilhan Omar Monday night, saying the first-term lawmaker 'should be ashamed of herself.'

'I think it was a terrible statement. And I don't think her apology was adequate, the president told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to a Texas campaign rally.

Asked what Ilhan should she say, Trump responded: 'She knows what to say.'

Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, apologized for using old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and money, but only after Pelosi and her entire party leadership team blasted her publicly.

'Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,' Omar said in a statement Monday afternoon.

'My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole,' she added. 'We have to always be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize.'

Omar, however, stuck to her guns in blasting the problems of lobbyists and their financial influence in politics.

'At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. It's gone on too long and we must be willing to address it,' Omar said. She tweeted out her statement with the words: 'Listening and learning, but standing strong.'

Pelosi's blistering statement said that '[a]nti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever it is encountered, without exception.'

'We are and will always be strong supporters of Israel in Congress because we understand that our support is based on shared values and strategic interests. Legitimate criticism of Israel's policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate that the United States and Israel share. But Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive. We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments.'

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) sit during a photo-op with members of the House Democratic leadership team on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 30, 2018. All three signed a statement calling Rep. Ilhan Omar's 'use of anti-Semitic tropes'

New York Reps. (and committee chairs) Jerold Nadler and Eliot Engel each issued statements criticizing Rep. Omar's comments

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. mentioned AIPAC and wrote 'it's all about the Benjamins' in tweets about support for Israel

The statement was co-signed by Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján, Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries and Caucus Vice Chair Katherine Clark – the entire House Democratic leadership team.

Pelosi also called Omar to speak with her one-on-one about the matter.

The move from leadership followed Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerold Nadler of New York, who issued his own scorching statement Monday.

'It is deeply disappointing and disturbing to hear Representative Ilhan Omar's (MN) choice of words in her exchange with a journalist yesterday, wherein she appears to traffic in old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and money,' Nadler wrote.

'Her words are deeply hurtful and offensive, particularly as they build on a previous comment she made about Jews 'hypnotizing' the world in support of Israel – another old trope born of hate-filled texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'

Multiple Jewish Democrats, including powerful committee chairs, called out freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar for using anti-semitic 'tropes' after her tweets linking support for Israel to money.

Omar on Sunday reacted to a Twitter post by journalist Glenn Greenwald, who slammed the Republican House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, for criticizing the Somali-American lawmaker and another anti-Israel critic, Rep. Rashida Tlaib

Omar responded to Greenwald's thread by tweeting: 'It's all about the Benjamins baby.' The tweet is a reference to the title of a Puff Daddy song of the same name which was released in 1997

Omar was then asked on Twitter by Batya Ungar-Sargon, the editorial page editor of the Jewish Daily Forward: 'Would love to know who Omar thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess.'

Omar then responded to Ungar-Sargon: 'AIPAC.' AIPAC stands for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies to Congress and the White House

'It is deeply disappointing and disturbing to hear Representative Ilhan Omar's (MN) choice of words in her exchange with a journalist yesterday, wherein she appears to traffic in old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and money,' wrote Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerold Nadler, in a public rebuke of Omar, one of the two first muslim women elected to Congress and a member of his own caucus.

Nadler continued: 'Her words are deeply hurtful and offensive, particularly as they build on a previous comment she made about Jews 'hypnotizing' the world in support of Israel – another old trope born of hate-filled texts like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.'

Rep. Max Rose, a Jewish combat vet who represents a district that includes Staten Island in New York, tweeted, 'When someone uses hateful and offensive tropes and words against people of any faith, I will not be silent. Congresswoman Omar's statements are deeply hurtful to Jews, including myself.'

The barrage of criticism came after Omar suggested on Sunday that supporters of Israel in effect buy off political support from lawmakers to get them to back Israel.

Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton also blasted the move, and also wrote Omar that she planned to 'reach out' to her directly.

Omar, of Minnesota, who is one of two Muslim women elected to Congress. On Sunday, she came under fire from Republicans and pro-Israel supporters for her Twitter post that some say advances anti-Semitic tropes about Jews and money.

'It's all about the Benjamins,' she wrote in reaction to a journalist's tweet remarking that it was 'stunning' how much time US leaders devote to defending Israel 'even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans.''
