"I think the administration owes a public apology for some of the things that were said there. As I heard the president speaking this morning, all that was going through my mind was “Jew-S-A, Jew-S-A” at his rallies that he never distanced himself from. They shouldn’t go down this path, they do not have clean hands.”

Pelosi's office confirmed the quote to The Hill.

Omar apologized on Monday for comments that have been called anti-Semitic suggesting that U.S. support for the Jewish state is the result of money flowing from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), an influential pro-Israel lobbying group.

In her apology she said her “intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.”

Omar fired back at Trump Wednesday, accusing the president of "trafficking" in hate and intolerance.

Trump faced condemnation from Jewish groups and civil-rights organizations in 2017 over his assertion that there were good people on “both sides” of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., where counter-protester Heather Heyer was killed by one of the rally attendees.

The president did not apologize for those comments.
